Awesome Z! With pics like that I may be getting rid of my Xterra sooner than I thought.

LiquidZ 08-21-2009 03:49 PM

Great looking car you have there. I am really digging those wheels.

shabarivas 08-21-2009 03:58 PM

Hey I have those rims in bronze :p - what are your offsets if you dont mind me snooping around?

FuszNissan 08-21-2009 04:36 PM

Nice, can't wait to see some numbers with the ECU

racerxj17 08-24-2009 10:15 AM

phelan 08-24-2009 11:04 AM

Chino Hills? I can take Carbon Canyon and stop by the shop in like 20 minutes! I wanna see those wheels in person ;)

Togo 08-24-2009 02:39 PM

Oh i'm diggin those wheels!

ilive2win 08-24-2009 02:44 PM

i think we are all curious about the wheel offsets

racerxj17 08-24-2009 02:55 PM

im going to guess +22 front, and +12 rear...

Brazilbro 08-24-2009 03:38 PM

Where can I get some JIC's for the 370? I didnt know they were out yet.

ZCarMan 08-24-2009 08:52 PM

Nice!

Paul@AEperformance 08-25-2009 02:33 PM

Wow Thanks for all the replies Guys!

Here's some responces to the above Q's.


Wheel sizing/offset:

Very good guesses guys! but no cigar. LOL

I'm a HUGE fan of proper wheel fitment.

Sizes are: 19x9.5+12 up front and 19x10.5+7 in the Rear
Wheel offsets are +12 Front and Rear, and I added a 5mm spacer in the back.

Mines VX ROM:
The ECU made very noticeable gains from 3000-5000 according to the butt dyno, but our dyno session coming up so no difinitive numbers yet.

JIC Dampers
Yes, they are available. Custom set-up as well. PM me for Details!
There amazing!

Stay tuned for more updates on the Car as well as new threads showcasing our products.

:driving:

racerxj17 08-25-2009 07:10 PM

that is wayyyyyy more agressive than people have done here. any way to get a better close up of the wheel fitment?

JoeD 08-25-2009 07:22 PM

Wow! What size tires? No rubbing?

Supergoji 08-26-2009 09:03 AM

with mines ECU are you running 91 or 93 octane??

DannyGT 08-26-2009 02:36 PM

9.5 +12 in the front? uhmmm either super scretched tires with minimal drop or you rolled the **** out of the fenders with some dremel/cut action underneath. :p

Dont want to seem like I'm bashing, but if you wanted to achieve a setup that aggressive and you like 'proper' wheel setups, why not just go with a 10F 11R? Would have eliminated the need for a spacer, unless those wheels cant be had in that setup, which in that case I completely understand because I was stuck with my setup because AME doesnt make anything more aggressive than what I have...

!xoible 08-26-2009 03:55 PM

OMG paul... didnt know u guys were on this. lol

paul, let me know when you wanna trade cars... :D like PLEASE!

!xoible 08-26-2009 03:58 PM

So, stretched AND rolled. kkthanks.

I'm actually more of a TE37 fan myself. ;) Looks good though.

Couple questions...

Camber setup?
What spacer did you go with? Ichiba?
Hubcentric rings needed for the spacer, or the wheels at that?

Paul@AEperformance 08-26-2009 05:10 PM

Back to business,

racerxj17: Thanks for the comp. I'll shoot some close up's for you.

JoeD Tire Size is OEM 19' sport sizes.

Supergoji: Being here in Southern Cal, were limited to the 91 crap gas.

!xoible LOL, Thanks!

TE's will always reign suspreme, but some car's not all can run a proper CE set-up, like the Z.

Camber set-up for the street is pretty mild.
We run mostly H&R on all our cars', mainly b/c they come machined with Hub centric rings on them and they are a trick, magneisium alloy. (Had to run the spacer b/c they don't offer wider or more aggressive sizes like u mentioned)

Thanks again for the support. :tup:

GMZ 08-26-2009 05:24 PM

Blacked out fangs/lights would look killer

Ah, very nice! I was contemplating on doing 10mm in the rear...So your saying I can special order the spacers with it hubcentric to my AME wheels? If so, can I order them through you or do you have a link?

Shunya 08-26-2009 07:39 PM

CE28N doesn't look bad on the Z at all.
and I thought lots of spokes will look bad but this is changing my mind.

No special order, their spacers just offer attached HC rings. And we stock'em. Check it out:

Let me know if you have any other questions :driving:


Thanks Shunya :tiphat:

Amazing !!
The car look almost standard at the first see but according to all the modification, this 370Z is definitively better than "Normal" !!

shouldnt you be talking italian, paul?

B1nks 08-27-2009 03:41 PM

I was under the impression that spacers were kind of dangerous to run for performance applications. Can't remember why i was told this, maybe something about the studs i believe.:confused:

GTRFAN 08-28-2009 03:30 AM

Nice setup! The CE28's look the business. Much better looking on a 370 than I expected.
