Nissan 370Z Forum  

*PICS* Got my Vossen's in. Pics attached

Nice wheels, i really like the look of the fronts, the rears look awkward with that huge sunken in lip... just my opinion.

Maybe a bad idea? Hell I don't know but I think they look good.
Those tire sizes, while obviously compatible, seem to be at very edge of being too narrow for the rim width. Do they fit well?

personally I would have gone with a 15 offset to bring them out a bit more in the rear, and also go with 295's to avoid the stretched tire look

As for the style it is not my favorite for a sports car, too many spokes.

+1 the wheel itself looks cool but the stance is weak, and also a +1 on maybe a spacer making the stance look better.

I am going to get the spacers tomorrow lol. I talked to a guy and he said I shouldn't have to worry about throwing any rocks or anything and hitting my bumper and what not. As far as the tires go, I was thinking about going a little wider once I wear these out (which shouldn't take too long lol).

As far as the headlight overlay's goes.. I remembered hearing about them but couldn't remember who had them or the cost? I want to either get overlays or get mine painted..

I like them. Did you lower your car or running stock height? Take a rolling/driving video of your 370Z. I think your rims will look really good in motion.

You think? Thats what correct offset + lowered suspension does for those wheels!

Much better on your friends car.
