Wheel Help for the track.

Robert_K in Houston as an example has the Stoptech 14" Brake upgrade on his 350z. He has the 18x9.5 15mm offset and has plenty of clearance. Most autox/roadcourse racers with the 350z use these wheels and have brake setups.

18x10.5 15mm all around.

The 370Z offset requirements are a little different than the 350Z because of the position of the hub, not because of the brakes. +15 is not likely to work with a 10.5, especially up front. It certainly wouldn't work with that offset without fender rolling and additional negative camber.

Thanks Chris. What's frustrating is I can buy the Nismo Z wheels but then I'm limited to just hoosiers. I cannot find the right wheel, tire rack is not helpful at all, and wheel companies aren't sure. Any ideas??

We're in a tough place with wheels at the moment as not many of the manufacturers have done test fits, and customers like us aren't going to buy wheels just hoping they might fit.

What tire widths are you hoping to use?
