I have a question:

What was the size on that wheel, and how did it look on the 370Z? The only reason I ask is because I have a set of CE28N's and I've been considering trading in my Z for the newer one, only if my rims fit. From what people have told me after they received word of Nissan's offset on this car, it won't work. But my wheel specs are as follows:

19x9.5 +22F
19x10.5 +22R

If you could make some sort of comparison, as to how the rims looked like when you put it on, and their sizes. Looking at the picture, the rims look pretty goofy.

Thanks.


Nah, that picture was of a 350Z that was in the parking lot. It wasn't on the 370Z. We didn't a chance to swap any wheels out on the 370 and see how they looked. We had a set of 20's here off of a customer's G35 that we wanted to test fit on it but we couldn't get the time (or approval) to do so. Just gonna have to wait until we buy a company 370 test car to throw something on it.

Lol, I did the same thing when I was copying the links from the album. I looked at it and was like "when did we do that?" then I noticed it was a 350.

I want to thank Bryan, Russell, John, and the entire Z1 staff for hosting a really terrific event. We all had a really great time, and thanks for putting on a great show!

If you ever get out of the aftermarket car business, I think you have great potential as a professional DJ!

Video stream was a great idea, wish we had it at Elk Grove.

+1 Amanda Gift is hot in person. How does she pack so much on that frame.

Great pics, hopefully you will have some of Kandiss soon.

I'm still looking for the Kandiss pics myself. I thought that Downshift took some of her with the blue 370Z but they aren't on the servers yet. I'm going to post some more pics from other people here shortly.

I love doing shows like that, the promotions side of it as well as hosting the events. Z Nationals last year was the first car show I worked as a DJ, I've been doing bar trivia and stuff like that for a couple of years though. Talking comes naturally, lol.

I'm really starting to like that yellow. How does it look in person? Is it close to say an S2000s Spa Yellow?

Thanks for the pics, I wish the Follow the Z event would have made a stop somewhere here.

Hmmm, it's been a while since I've seen a yellow S2K so I can't really remember. It's a fairly dark yellow, so it's not too canary like, personally I wouldn't want it but it's a pretty good looking color. I really want to see an orange added to the line up.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I was hoping something like Solar Orange would appear on the color list... gorgeous color. I'm sure it'll pop up eventually though.

I am hoping next year they bring back for 1 year only, the Brickyard or Interlagos Fire, similiar to what they did previously for those two colors.

The spa yellow and ultra yellow are the same because I had the S2K in the garage with my Z at one time. They both look the same, and if they made the 370z with the UY, than it should look the same. From the picture, I think they re-did the 2005 color.

Modern Nissan in Winston Salem, NC. Josh and Russell drove the cars from our place to to that dealership for a partial event. They just rolled the cars in for a couple of hours before taking them on to Chantilly, VA.

I saw the size/offset of the 19s in the rear, and your rear wheels will be fine. I did not see the fronts, but would bet my last nickel your fronts would be ok as well.

Per the 370z owner's manual (Sect 9, page 8), the front offsets from the factory are +47 for the 19x9. Too bad! I am wondering if my +15's will fit

It states the rear 19x10's are +30, which is great.
