Default put Nismo LMGT4s on my 370

yeah, I'm lazy, only put two on there to see what it looked like. They get kind of lost in the rear wheel wells, definitely do not give as aggressive a look as they did on my 350. I think I will go with some 19s but not sure what wheels to get yet. I wouldn't mind getting a set of these in 19's if I knew the back would fill in a little better.



front:


back:








height difference (Nismos on car)


lots of clearance around calipers on front


and rear


One clean 370Z and one, eh, Twin Turbo Z that could use a bath.

It's too bad the Nissan marketing department can't get it in their heads to make some nice, wide (9 and 10 inch), deep dish, 5 spoke 19" wheels. I think they would sell.

Yeah, the Nismos have a Corvette-like look on the 370 in my opinion. The stock wheels fill out the wells better and integrate with the overall styling better. Thanks for the pics.

I don't think they're that far off. I agree 19" would be an improvement,
but you'd still have to get around the offsets... Can you confirm them?
I think we can't judge properly until the car is lowered on springs and coils.

It looks like you'd be good to go with a 20mm spacer up front and 25mm
in the back...

I would like to see a shot from about 20 feet away in a 3/4 view from the drivers
side if you've got more free time.

yes those are the ones I have, heres a pic. I just wish the back were a little wider, plus I just want it a little different than stock.

It was a Nissan dealership banner back in 2003 I believe. I bought it off e-bay.

any wheel so far doesn't look on the rear.

but the LMGTs look nice, and so much less fussy than those stock wheels.

you need to lower the car and throw a huge spacer on there though.

The usual width for the 19" rear is 9.5". Usually +30 rear, +25 I think in front, might be 22. Usual tires I see are 245/35/19F, 275/35/19R.

I run a set on my V35 and they tuck in nicely. On the 370/V34 however they look kinda puny in back, and yes, it makes the car look rally-high.



parked at an angle otherwise front tucks in well considering not lowered:

I think those wheels would look hot if:
- you drop it
- got 19x10.5F and 19x12R in bronze

Thanks for sharing tho!
