Why aren't the 370z nismo wheels as popular as you're typical light weight wheels? Got these as an option for when I'm wheel shopping. Do the usual goodie search but they don't yield a great search.

 

They are nice, but they aren't necessarily cheap. When you find a set in good condition you are usually going to expect to pay enough money where there are several other options. Another reason is that you can tailor the offsets a little better when selecting an aftermarket wheel for a perfect fitment. The 370Z offsets aren't too bad, though. Also, a lot of people go for 20" wheels, opposed to 19" like the Nismo wheels.

 

why would you put those on a g ?

 

The wheel is wide and the offsets are aggressive. You will have to run over -2.5 camber to get them to fit without hitting the fender in the rear.

 

Or use a tire with less width.

 

I don't want 20s. Want a good light weight set of 19s. With the 10.5 option in the rear. Nismo is just one of my choices.

Was going with 275 instead of the oem 285 size.

Because I like them, they are a nice set of 19s to daily with, it's different than the norm.

 

The front offset is a bit off for a coupe but the back will be fine on a 275/35
19 X 9.5 40mm
19x10.5 23mm
I think a 15mm spacer in front running a slightly stretched 245/40/19 would be a decent fit, or a 10mm spacer w/ a 255/40
And agree, those Nismos are a nice looking, lightweight, quality forged wheel and can sometimes be found for the price of heavy cast wheels.

 

Very informative and will take that info consideration. I ain want no 20" cast wheels. 19" forged is the way for me. Volk te37, enkei rpf1 and forgestar f14 is on the list of options as new daily wheels.

 

Not all of those "forged" wheels are alike. Nismo and Volk TE37 are traditionally forged. RPF1 and Forgestar F14 are "Rotary" forged, which is a cheaper way to make a wheel about as light as a forged wheel.

I have 20" TSW Bathurst rotary forged wheels that are very light and don't mind the compromises when compared to the cost savings vs a traditionally forged wheel.

P.S. 19x10.5 +23 with a 275/35R19 tire will be very tight with the fender. It will definitely require liner and bracket trimming and maybe even a little additional camber.

 

Bracket/fender trimming/pulling is not what I want to do

 

 

 

i see u went on google i heart ricers. unfortunately, those are touring Z wheels. These are nismo wheels

 

Still think this one is my favorite with that setup! I mean if Darth Vader were to drive a car it would be this...
