18's on a 370z

If you have adjustable front camber arms like SPL, you can run 18x10.5 +18ish and 275 or 285 square no problem

Thank you optionzero, for the useful info.
Not yet, I am still on stock camber arms, so what do you suggest?

regards,

regards,
Before you spend money on wheels spend your money on seat time. Then start with the basics. I assume you have an oil cooler, if not get one. Then get a Hotchkis front sway bar and SPL front end links along with rear camber arms. If you have the money, then get the SPL front A arms. As OZ stated, there is no need to get wheels for track unless you can get the proper alignment specs.

I suggest getting coilovers and SPL arms and running 18x10.5 +18ish square with 275 or 285 all around like many of the track people here

There’s no point going to a track without this setup anyways, you’re just wasting time

The hard reality is that our cars are simply not track-ready in stock or near stock form.

Some cars come with alignment adjustment built in. Nissan didn’t bother

I couldn't agree more. This is what I run at the track. 18x10.5 square, with 295 Hoosiers or 305 Pirelli DHBs, full coilovers (Fortune Auto FA500s). Plus on the alignment issues too. My car needed more adjustability than Nissan even thought of. Got the SPL suspension front and rear. Very worth the money invested.
