Looks nice, what are your offsets?

gussy were you able to use 370z base brakes? or did you have to drop back to the 350? 15" rim? im looking at getting a set of bead lock welds and running some M/T slicks but im still on the fence as to which brakes I can get away with using while doing it

I have a 93 mustang coupe and the rear wheels bolt right up to a 370z with base brakes. Mustangs are 5 114 bolt patter which is the same as our Z. I run this mt slicks on the Z sometimes when I take it to the track. So yes use the 370z base brakes. Plus it looks sick!!

Don't know what that means but very nice background defocus, if only it was a meaty tire too

285/30/20 on 10.5's on all four corners with +25 offsets, has anyone tried it? My wheels come in on Wednesday and I'll find out one way or the other.

So ideally that should translate into a 255 tire, but tires are never exact this one's probably wider.

The Z is not made like a sedan to take a square setup. It is meant to take wider tires and wheels with more aggressive offsets in the rear, like how the oem wheels are.

Outside diameter and inside clearance to suspension components will be fine in both front and rear, however, there will be an issue with the front coming out past the fender, which besides looking strange could cause fender damage over bumps/driveways/potholes/dips/ect.

10.5" wheel with a 25 offset is 2mm shy of the oem nismo rear wheel, so in the back they'll be fine, you could even use a 10-15mm spacer or so to make it flush with the fender.

For the front, a 10.5" wheel with an offset so aggresive will come out quite a bit from the fender, and there's nothing you can really do about it unless you make your car widebody haha.

According to calculations, your front wheel/tire will stick out 35mm (1.4") further than a stock nismo wheel/tire (19x9.5 +40 on a 245/40R19 tire), so that should def be outside the fender a bit, and the rear would he inside the fender a bit.
