FREE set of 20" Vossen wheels for 370z - even exchange for photoshoot

semtex · 05-27-2009, 03:05 PM

I think a set of VVS078 would look awesome on a Z. The only drawback is that they only come in 20", and I want 19s.

VVS078 VVS-078 staggered Wheels Rims – 5x112, 5x120, 5x114.3, 5x4.5, 20", 22", 20x9, 20x10.5, 22x9, 22x10.5

No drawback when they are free.

Only draw back with those is they won't clear the front calipers if you have the sport package. There are only 3 sets that will clear, unless you go forged.

Can you elaborate on why they wouldn't clear? They're 20" rims. Even the base 18" rims will clear the sport calipers. Or is the problem that the spokes would contact the sides of the calipers?

Plenty of diameter but not enough backspacing.

Why would u want to lower the z???????????????

RCZ · 05-28-2009, 04:58 PM

If all goes well, my car is lowered tomorrow afternoon.

Vossen quick questions....

You say even trade for the wheels. As in there are no other strings attached?

Also, are you only doing 20s? You wouldn't do 19s?

Hmmm, why wouldn't you?

The main benefit is a lower CoG (Center of Gravity), which improves the handling by inducing less body roll, therefore less weight transfer on corners.

Check this out for more info.

I ordered a set in and the spokes hit the calipers. Maybe a spacer would help?? So I called my Vossen Dealer and had to settled with wheel 82. Only 82,83,84 will clear the front caliper on a sport package(spokes), unless you go forged for a different style. This is from my Vossen Dealer. But I do know first hand 78 spokes won't clear the sport package front calipers. I personlly tried, they hit. Someone may want to try spacers. I was pretty upset, because those wheels are amazing looking, and I wanted to do the black lip! Hope this helps you guys.
