They are 18x8.5 37 offset. I want these for winter and if i do eventually try to drift.

Do you think they will fit over the front sport brakes?

I would go with a 9" wheel to give you more tire options.

I wanted to go with the 8.5 to fit some 225 on the wheel. Stretched look and cheaper tires to replace more often.

That wheel has a 5x100 bolt pattern.

They have the 114 as well.

bullitt5897 · 10-29-2010, 02:29 PM

then your 8.5" specs look like the will fit just not pretty...

diablokev87 · 10-29-2010, 02:41 PM

Yea i feel so conflicted. I just want some cheap wheels for the winter time that looks ok-ish, and will fit 225. In the summer times im going to get te37s.

You can take 2 of my 225's that I just bought. As for the rims, its whatever you like for the winter.

Will 25mm spacers all around be okay on OEM 19" Rays wheels (Sport Package)?

KaienZ34 · 10-31-2010, 10:30 AM

I'm not sure on the 25's but here's minicobra1's setup with the stock rays. In these pics he's running 20mm all around with 255/35/19-F..305/30/19-R tires take a look.

Oh, damn. Yeah, 25s will rub. Looks like I'll have to do some spacer trading.

25 mm spacers in the back would fit. I have 20 mm plus stepped up to 285 width wheels and there is still some space with stock camber at the rear. If you wanna go 305 in the back then 20mm is good. You can do 25 mm in the front if you want I think someone has that, but I have 20 mm and it fits just fine. The problem is if you are lowered you may scrap the fender lining/bumper tabs. I only experience that on hard banking turns or deep bumps. If I adjust the dampening on my kw's it may go away buy I haven't had the chance to do that yet.

I also have 20mm in the front and dropped on BC Coils. I get the same rub and it's kinda driving me crazy. I've set the dampening to full hard and it still does it on hard banks and going up steep driveways. How low are you front ground to top of wheel arch? I made the mistake of not measuring the stock height and not knowing how low I actually went. But from the ground to the top of the wheel arch in the front im sitting at 26 and a quarter.

If anything, you can choose to stick with stock tire widths and camber the wheels in a little more to get the extra outside clearance you need.

Hi guys,

I currently own a grand touring, 2007 350z. I do drive the vehicle year round, and use the following 18" wheels during winter:

Sport Edition SE14 Wheels - Wheel Size & Price Details - 1010tires.com

Anyway, I may have the opportunity to purchase a 370 in the near future, but I was wondering if my winter rims would fit on a 370z, in particular on the sport package?

The rims fit over the Brembo brakes on the 350z, but am not sure they will fit over the Akebono brakes. In the event they don't fit over the Akebono, I take it they will still fit over the regular, non sport package brakes?

Thanks for the help!

370Z_Fan · 11-02-2010, 06:01 PM
