MrBlack Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Hey guys thought id show you the latest with me Bought my 350z like this Loved it so far enjoying it loads Changes as follow : first was to freshen up the exhaust as it was rusty got it back to this After this decided i was going for low and stance , and although i already had wide wheels i wanted dish and alot wider so got my Rota's off and sold them so i was sitting on axles , managed to pick up a standard set for 200 with tyres so jumped at that Then just decided to bite the bullet and ordered some wheels decided to get 18's 2x 11" Et 8 2x 9.5 Et 10 Test fitted today Let me know what you think . Also i work in a bar and we swapped out our Peroni tap so i decided to make it into my new gear lever easy to do just needed threaded Comments / Criticism welcome Edited June 5, 2015 by MrBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 ah right yeah , i thought there was another problem i looked into it a bit and have spacers etc staggered fitment for front they are only 9.5's same as my rotas so should be fine . but will be fun trying to get the rears just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 15mm spacer but you will have to cut the backs of the wheels out as the studs poke to far through Unless you're JDM Edited February 6, 2015 by grundy225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ah the car didnt come with Brembos so it clears . you seem very clued up i might need to pick your brain when it comes to choosing tyre sizes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ah the car didnt come with Brembos so it clears . you seem very clued up i might need to pick your brain when it comes to choosing tyre sizes Ah, yup, that literally fixes ALLLLL your problems We just both had ball aches getting ours on with Brembo's. Yours should fit nicely at the front without spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Aww they looks amazing which is yours ? how do i know mine is JDM engine code ? pretty much all instructions are in Japanese on sun visor etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Mines the Ginge, Mouthwash is the Silver. We only recently put his wheels on. Sunvisor big give away Indicator sticks on the wrong side of the steering wheel? Speedo in KMPH? Do you have cruise control? From your pictures though looks like a clean UK model without Brembo's.

nels0n Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I also was going to get these exact same fitment wheels. I have spacers on the front so aside from that the studs stick to far out? Anything else worth knowing lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure yours is a JDM bud, you will be able to sell from the VIN, someone will be along to tell you shortly what the difference is. Yeah he's running 11r/9.5 fronts, same as me. I also was going to get these exact same fitment wheels. I have spacers on the front so aside from that the studs stick to far out? Anything else worth knowing lol? They are a ball ache to fit with Brembo's, Sheering off wheel studs, which means if you revert you have to run with spacers, If you're not lowered you will need to flare your arches and basically **** up the fronts You're going to need to roll the rear arches, stretched tyres and you will need camber arms front and back.

buster Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) this maybe of help to you ......ref tyres think you should be safe going 235/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear.its pretty much what i run. wheels are 9.5j with 20et running slight spacering = 2et fronts and 10.5j with 20et running slight spacering = 2et rear.....have run 0 offset but fowled on turning....zed sits low on tien coilovers rear arches rolled and fronts have pull.

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That looks distinctly like a Chevy pick up behind your Z...is it yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Very nice looking car and those wheels are lovely. Good luck getting them to fit, luckily you should be able to get some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The car looks like JDM but it's got a UK rear bumper You mean it looks UK but has no brembo's? The car is an '02 so has to be JDM (unless it's a personal plate). Looks to me like it's had a rear end shunt, hence the UK bumper and dodgy rear lights.
