I've promised feed back to a couple of other forums as well so I've got to get something put together. Originally I was going to be one of the drivers and was going to write the review myself. But plans changed.

From Winston Salem to Chantilly they actually had the cars transported because of weather concerns.

That's the owner's manual for which Z34 model? I don't know what changed first, but as you and I have PM'd about, I know I saw the stamps on the rear wheels, and they weren't +30. They were close to that though.

What is the width of your front wheels?

I am looking forward to the write up. The Run 6 must have been a gas.

That was my next Q: why didn’t you drive it on one of the legs? I understand how plans can change.

The west coast just got hit with a winter storm, brace yourself.

Hmmm....

This is the offset for the z34, as listed in the 2009 370z owner's manual. I am sure these are subject to change. It lists both wheel options.

Standard:
front - 18x8, +43
rear - 18x9, +15

Sport package:
front - 19x9, +47
rear - 19x10, +30


On my 350, I am running:
Front - 19x9, +15
Rear - 19x10, +15

What # did you see for the rear offset?

It kinda sucks that 19's look so small on the 370. Decent performance tires are limited past 19"+ sizes. Unless you put up PS2 money.

We decided that myself or Josh one needed to stay here and work. Since I was going to PRI and The Run we decided Josh should go to Winston Salem with the 370.

19x10+20 stamped right on the wheel. It's not looking promising that Z33 front offsets will fit the Z34. Your +15s will stick out over an inch more than the stockers on the sport package. There was some room there, but I don't know about 1.25" worth. The fronts on our ZR are 19x9+31, so maybe those will work if we decide to upgrade.

PM me if you're still looking for take-off PS2s. I'm going to call my contact and have him bring a bunch for me to look at.

Some reviews from Z1's Josh Douglas on his drive from Z1 to Winston Salem, NC in one of the 370Zs from the Follow the Z Tour.

"While cruising in 6th gear I danced around accelerating and decelerating
and began to really enjoy how the Z’s VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift)
continuously changed intake timing and valve lift flattening out the torque curve making the Z very responsive and impressively powerful at all RPM’s."

"With the VDC off we headed back towards I-85. I hit the on ramp and touched second gear to feel the rear tires give way and the car change directions only to have it push itself back straight staying on the throttle
and pointing it in the right direction. Again the Z feels very strong at any RPM."
