d95gas Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Evening All, Recently secured a lovely set of 370 rims in shadow chrome, came complete with Potenza RE050a tyres all round in the following sizes: Front: 245 / 40 / 19 Rear: 275 /35 / 19 So have a couple of questions that can hopefully be answered by those who are currently running these rims. I currently run 20/25 spacers on my 350 Rays, and have been told I will need to run the front 20mm to clear the Brembo's, which is not an issue. The tyre sizes concern me being slightly differnet profiles, so first question is whether they will fit. My final question, around the profile, is this going to give me issues with the TRC. I welcome any advice in this area. Also on the lookout for some 370 lug nuts to ensure I stay safe thanks guys n gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Drop the profile on the front to 35 with 20mm spacers and all will be fine. I bought my wheel nuts from Jeff fowkes , not genuine but as good with no problems from them whatsoever.

jonty88 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Im no expert, but have read countless times that having a 35 profile all round on 19'' Wheels is the closest match to factory rolling radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm running 255 35 19 on the front with no problems at all. yes 255/35/19 is closer the factory 225/45/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 These rims are current 245 front and 275 rears, so if I need to drop the front to 35 profile, I may as well go for 255/35 and keep it all sweet Thanks for the advice guys, very much appreciated....... Now just need to find some 370 nuts.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think most people go for 245/35 and 275/35 probably because both front and rear are then slightly smaller than OEM 18" and therefore keep the ratio of front to rear closer to OEM. Technically 255/35 would be slightly closer to OEM although larger. I believe 245/35 with 275/35 is also what the optional Nismo LM GT4 alloys were fitted with. As long as you stick with 35 profile I expect you'll be fine with 245 or 255 on the front with 275 or 285 on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The original 370 wheels come up for sale on here and on eBay quite regularly but the latest 370 wheels I've never seen for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come up occasionally on eBay but you need to be quick if they're a good price! There's currently two sets on there: 19" RAYS FORGED OEM stock wheels 5x114.3 370z Rays Forged Alloy Wheels for Nissan 370z / 350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
