kinglozzer Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi guys, I’m looking at getting some new wheels for my Z soon, but I only recently bought a set of 4 Pilot Super Sports so I ideally want to keep them (I know I could swap/sell them, but I’d rather not have the hassle!). I have the ‘touring’ wheels, so tire sizes are 225/45-18 front and 245/45-18 rear. My other concern is the Brembos, they’re crazy close to the standard wheels on the front - so I’m guessing I’m pretty limited in terms of offsets as well. What are my options? Stock suspension currently, though that’s next on my list pending MOT outcome. I like the look of the Rota Grids in gunmetal or flat black, car is silver, though I’d appreciate any suggestions . Budget of £1k - £2k. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thats a lot of cash for a set of 18s.....plenty of choice. FWIW tyre - I have standard tyres on 18x8.75 and 18x9.75 with no issues (but wouldn't go on wider on rim size). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Clearing the Brembos depends on spoke design as well as offset, so it can get complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almeida1234 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wow that a big budget I will sell the tyres at least front ones. 18x9.5 upfront 18x10.5 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget of £1k - £2k. Thanks all! I'd just send a PM to CS to see what he can do for you if I was you. That's a good budget especially if that's just for the alloys.

Darren350 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just swap your wheels and tyres with mine, I have Rays with some worn Ditch Finder specials lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) If your spending good money on some decent wheels i wouldnt limit yourself to your current tyre sizes as then you will be restricting your widths, particularly the rears as 245 on 9 + is going to be pretty strectched. Sell your michelins and put it towards some new rubber. You should be ok with most rims if you get sensible offsets, 20 ish is what you want to aim for. Some ideas on widths, tyres and offsets in this link http://www.350z-uk.c...-offset-thread/ Also some achingly good wheels on this site http://www.jdmdistro.com/ or http://japwestmods.co.uk/ Edited April 9, 2014 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinglozzer Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for the tips guys! Naturally the lower end of the budget is the target, I’m gonna wait until post-MOT to buy anything just in case. I’ll have a look for some ideas and then come back with “will these fit?†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
