TE37SL 19x11 Installed
 

Well i put them on today. they are 19x9.5 and 19x11. I hadnt seen anyone post the 11s yet so I figured I should.

Definately need spacers in the back.... I was figuring on needing a 10mm or so but now that I look at it...
i think this thing will probably need a 20mm!!! Kinda sucks but its the only offset they came in (at least when i ordered, i dunno about now)

the tires are RE11s in 275/30/19 and 305/30/19. Based on the 305s fitting just fine, while being so sunken in...
i bet a 335 could fit back here on a 12 inch wheel with the right offset.

car is dropped on H&Rs otherwise stock.

now its time to start searching for some side skirts i like. i love the greddy sides on my 350z, wish there was something just like them for the 370z.

Looks good

Nice!!! What are the offsets? They could be more aggressive.

car looks damn good! do u have any rubbing issues running a 275 tire up front, im wondering cuz i am too plan on running some te37's and also currently dropped on H&R springs. :tiphat:

19x9.5 +22
19x11 +23

Unfortunately the only offset available. I knew the rear would be conservative but I didnt know they would be quite so bad.

Agreed. I am happy enough with the fronts. But the rear need to come out 10-20mm, and they will. I will post new pics a week or two when that is done.

Those look great! I wish my rears were 11s.

So far nothing yet that I know of, but i suppose I should check. I hear what I believe is just my wind flap jobbers in front of the tires hitting the ground all the time. it got worse with these tires but i am positive that is just because they are 275/30/19 when they are supposed to be 275/35/19. they are a bit smaller diameter, so it lowered the front end a little more. This make/model tire doesnt come in a 275/35/19 so i bought what I could. they do look a tad small 'round up there but i dont think its very noticeable.

its probably not helping that i havent installed camber arms and toe bolts and got an alignment since lowering it... making the offset even worse. but i am at least happy to have light at the end of the tunnel here, a few hundo more $$$ and a little more work and they will look great.

Nice! 275 front isnt keeping the stock height ratio too much. Let us know if you have any issues with the vdc acting up.

Nice setup though. I went similar. RE11 19X9.5 with 265, 19X10.5 with 305.

Very Nice car.

the VDC is operating great. the VDC in this car is adaptive and will self learn to new ratios. I learned that thru experience. Previously, ran a setup that for the first 5 min couldn't drive straight down the road without the VDC kicking in and the car bucking. After a few min it recalibrated and was perfect for several months (and then i changed to this setup).

ok, cool. Good to know.

I like it, just add the stickers.

Offset looks fine too IMO

Looks good. There's 19x10.5 +12. I thought the 11" were special order.

Beautiful!! Orderd my wheels today. But there not TE37's though. Love the hood.

ok after taking another look on the actual car... the pictures are a bit deceptive. there is only room for a 10mm MAYBE a 15mm spacer back there in the rear. It doesnt look nearly as sunken in in person.. but none the less, spacer time.

ya the 19x11 were special order i believe, i mean, they came in like 6 weeks after the fronts

thanks for the compliments guys.

does anyone else notice how NOT photogenic the 370z is? I never liked the car until i saw it in person, and i still just never really care for the car in pictures, and then i see it in person and love it.

You have to stand really far away when you take pics or the camera distorts the car. The 350z didn't have this problem.

Your pics came out fine. But I can't see the detail because it's black.

370Z can be very photogenic. You need to find the right angles.

I think the 370Z is very photogenic. Try shooting a little lower than eye level (chest or waist level). Also, I think a rear 3/4 view is the car's best angle. To reduce fish-eye distortion inherent in most point and shoot cameras, step further back and zoom in to compose your shot. You'll find that zooming will not only reduce lens distortion, it will also give you a shallower depth of field (depending on the camera settings). That means if you focus on the car, things in the background can be slightly blurred, thus giving the subject of your photo (the car) more attention.

Here's a couple of examples:

This was shot at about headlight level. I was standing about 100 ft back with a long lens. Notice how the background is blurred. If you have the option of adjusting the aperture, the wider (i.e. getting closer to F2.8) you go, the more this effect is noticed.

And look at that great looking azz!

Yes, I'm using professional gear, but the general photography principles apply no matter what kind of camera you use. Happy shooting! :tup:

the wheels look great, congrats on the new sl's! i was very curious to see the fitment of the 19x11's but sits almost identical to mine and looks like it had similar faces

ya due to the offset, i think that most of the extra half inch is on the inside of the wheel, leaving the face and lip the same. i think that your 10.5's are actually a few mm more aggressive. i was hoping for just a little more concave but i am happy after seeing them on the car.

honestly when the wheels showed up and i was waiting to put them on, i got over them pretty fast and almost regret the purchase. but after seeing them on the car in person, i really do like them a lot.

it looks good, but I do agree the offset is a little weak in the rear. Just wondering, but what camber are you running? I would think you would be able to correct it no?

are you going to put the sl stickers on?

unsure on my camber, i dropped it with H&R and havent had it aligned/checked yet. the car is going to be TT so i will be pulling out all the camber to almost zero degrees like i had to in my 350z to get any traction. im sure that alone will help a little.

super undecided on that. i am kinda indifferent about them... but i have a feeling that many people might criticize them. so i sort of think that if i dont care either way, then i might as well not make a potentially controversial move. i have mostly been figuring on putting it on just one wheel for the hell of it, like a tag.

part of me feels like.... since the SL spoke sticker is such an uncommon thing among wheels (essentially one spoke being another color), i feel like the second i put those stickers on, my car will immediately be confused with any other car running the SLs. it would be like having 2 guys with hot pink wheels on their honda in the same town... there is only room for one of those guys per area.

Looks great man.

IMO, the SL's are all about the decals...

haha, just put them on!!! i havent had anyone criticize the stickers on mine, maybe the people are nicer here in sd than chicago :roflpuke2:

At first I didn't like the sticker, but the more I see the wheels with the stickers on, the more I like them. It's like it's naturally a part of the SL. Still considering them for my 40th.

Couldn't wait for spring, huh? :D

looks good, i have some H&R 20mm spacers for sale(bolt on type) let me know if your intersted.

Actually, need to order the extended wheel studs... Gonna make some spacer/center caps for them at the shop (Cnc)

hmmm...interesting. Do show how they look like when done.

these are def my favorite rims out

What's your tire size for yours? I'm running Hankooks, and I'm thinking about 275/35 up front and 305/30 rear and lowered by about 1".

Hot. Looks great!

Looks great! thats alot of rubber in the back 335?!?!?


I would stick with the 305's you are running haha




DAN

255/40 up front
285/35 in rear

dan, i will take you for a ride in the car this summer and you will see why i would like 335s :)

You are putting 335 on 19x11 or have another wheel?
