Currently in the market for winter wheels. Not sure what I need in order to fit around the nismo/sport brakes.

I like the look of these ones:
https://www.canadawheels.ca/RTX-APEX...CK-5-114.3-673

size: 18x8
Offset: 40
Bore: 73.1

tire size will be: 225/50/18

Any idea if they'll fit?

depends on how wheel is made,weather or not it will clear brakes,,,i'd be more concerned with the hub-centric,,,ours is 66.1-that helps hold wheel in place and supports it;even though lug-nuts ultimately center the wheel.....the way the lugnuts are made-it uses both to hold center.

hub-centric. not a term i was familiar with. just read a quick article on it. makes more sense now :)

any recommendations on searching for wheels that will fit this appropriately?

They have lots of flavors to choose from/ pending on what you want to spend

I would like my setup to be flush to the fenders.

Couple pics I seen on the web of 265/35 & 305/30's on 19x9.5+22 & 10.5+12 wheels

These tires will fit on the sport wheels 19x9 & 19x10 wheels good and full/ notice how they are a tad stretched on these wheels: especially the front.

Yes you can pull your hair out finding the exact fit that (YOU PREFER) lot's of combos out ther & people can be real Anal about the tire fitment....would be cool to have a test fit shop.
myself is looking at Michelin PSS 255/40 & 345/30/19's on Forgeline 19x8.5 & 19x12 SE-1's in Trans.Red....imagine that 8k expense,,,,gotta be right on with the offsets-i do like the PRO-STREET look! cause i gotta a lotta hair i could pull!

Nice/ i see you have the 9.5 & 10.5 Nismo wheels! Looking Good!!!

Yeap, and you can't go any wider.....LOL I really need 19x10 front and 19x11 rear.

Well, this is what Front: 20x9.5 +45 with 255/40/20s and
Rear: 20x10.5 +25 with 295/35/20s look like on a 2010 Roadster (stock setup).

So I have 19x9.5+25 wheels up front, 19x10.5 +12 in the rear and am lowered on swifts. I am thinking of going 265/35 up front and 305/30 n the rears. I am pretty sure the rear will be fine but am wondering if the fronts will rub?

Not doubting you about stock set-up,,,just haven't seen another ~Z~ come with 28" tall tires from factory.
Appears that they fit though;any particular brand or model tire you like? also were you gonna lower your car any?

These will fit your rims well; the front's are 1/10" taller though-I see a 255/35 Ferrari front that's 27" but would not pull up together on tire rack- may be a special tire.

You should be fine/ + 25 offset front is 1/8" more tucked in than black ~Z~ pictured further back on this page @+22 offset front.
Now: the tire brand play's a big role in this- you're probably aware the different manufacturers can vary 1-2" on section and tread with... But sounds like you picked a good fit. :)

Now y'all know I'm Jealous- still got stock 18's +43 8'sF & +15 9's rear....245/45F & 275/40F....waiting to shed some debt so I can have a turn... lol Attachment 107124
Look how shoved up under the fenders my fronts are. :( will get a change soon.

I am running re-11s.

I just bought my 370z and I'm prepping for winter in NJ. I found winter tires for cheap from an outside source and I'm thinking of purchasing but not before I know they will fit. I will be purchasing a separate set of winter wheels to go along with them.

My Z is a 2010 Z roadster with Touring and Sport Packages, manufactured 4/10. VIN is JN1AZ4FHOAM303744.

Will these wheels fit? Tire Rack suggested them, but I don't want to have them mess this up for me.

Any help is really appreciated!

Hey guys, I don't really know much about wheels.. I told myself when I got my car that I was just gonna keep stock but now I saw this classmate's car with Work Gnosis cv202 and I WANT THEM SO BAD!!! Anyway.. Is there any way that I can get them without any spacers and still clear my akebono brake calipers??

And do I have to buy new tires or can I just use the same ones I have on my sport rays?? Im looking for 19 " wheels btw! Thanks guys

LOL, I bought this car thinking it's plenty fast enough etc. Won't need to do anything to it. Now look at my sig....

Hello! Yes, all you need to do is order the correct "disk face" size and they will clear your Akebono no problem.

As far is the tires go, it is recommend to get new tires since your new setup will more than likely be a bit wider than your stock setup.

We can get these for you, special order. Custom offsets by 1mm increments.

Thank you a lot! When I'm ready I'll let you guys know ASAP! do you guys also offer Rohana?

No, not that brand. Work, SSR, Rays, Advan, Enkei, Weds, Super Star :happydance:

usually I've helping people out in here but I am in need of answers or suggestions for once.

been kicking around a drag radial setup for awhile now just at the track. I have a few ideas but some i'm not sure whats the best way or if it's even possible. been having trouble piecing together some setup options.

1. get a set of regular sport ray rears 19" to match and some 305/35 mickey Thompson DR's

2. go with 18" wheels and some thicker meat on the rears for traction. my issue is I really can't tell which 18's will clear the rear sport brake calipers.
also wheel width would obviously be 10" or wider to get all the traction possible for the best 60' times I can get.

any thoughts would be appreciated especially on what 18" wheels can clear the calipers without having to shave them or modify them.

Don't be scared to try the 265/40/18's MT drag radials,,,,most important thing is to have camber near 0 and wheels tucked underneath to get more weight on tires// wider isn't necessarily better traction....sub 7 second cars running on 275 drag radials....may end up running a tad positive rear camber:due to wheels clambering in on launch... More power will make it more difficult on these cars...mine went 1.95 60' with stock open diff & heated 275/40/18 goodyear street radials.

yea dropping out the camber will help but in the end I enjoy the fact that I drive me car to the strip, have some fun, and can go destroy corners the whole way home. i'm just looking for a little extra traction to move myself back up towards the top 5 NA ET's. technically I can take my car as is to florida and probably get my spot back lol

i'm planning on either doing the 305 TM;s on the sport rays or finding 18" wheels that clear and going 295-315 DR's on the rear and see what happens lol

my car with what it has now (w/ mufflers on) and PSS's (no heat/burn out) cut a 1.950 60' in my PB run

I love it; not going back to track till I put an LSD in...pm me anytime
