I think it's awesome! The tires are a bit big for the car, but the offsets are near perfect for that width.

You should post wheel widths and offsets.

On another note, I have trouble finding good performance tires for 19" rims. Not really trouble, but options are definitely limited in my size (255/35, 275/35)

I would imagine 20's will be even more difficult. Unless you are willing to shell out PS2 money.

Anyway, thanks for doing what no one else has. You know someone was gonna ask for this at some point anyway.

No, thankfully, because I hate LSB. They call it Monterey Blue (for real!) - because it's close? .

It's best described as between LSB and Daytone Blue.

I wish it was closer to Daytona blue, but it's closer to LSB. At least it's metallic. I took some good shots of the metallic paint. I'll have to post those.

Haha, 2 weeks ago, everyone was saying how small the 19's look and that it would take 22's to fill out the fenders and now, someone puts 20's and "20's don't belong anywhere on that car"?

The issues that I have with the GT-R wheels are:
1. without a slight drop it gives the car a 4x4 look. 20's will look fine on this car - whether this will be the best size from a performance standpoint is another matter.

2. the style of the wheels do not flow well with the design of the car.

Furthermore, I think the awkwardness of the car is accentuated by the photo, as others have mentioned.

Default 370z las vegas update



Hahaha some of these responses have been great. We just did it because I had the GT-R wheels out and the offset looked like it would fit. I think that it would work and look a ton better if we had a lower profile set of tires and lowered the car an inch to inch and a half.

We'll see how it turns out in the long run once more wheel/tire combos are available and when lowering kits/coilovers come into play. We were lucky enough to have 3 of these cars in our shop in 4 days so I can't really complain. How many are even in the country?

Check out zcarblog.com to see some pictures and a small blurb of my driving impressions as I drove the 370z from Bakersfield to Las Vegas on Sunday. What a car!!

Looks great, but can you black out that b-pillar too so it flows better?
