I'm not sure about what size spacers you'll need with the Nismos, but I the 19" Nismos would look great. I have 19" Nismos with 10mm spacer front and 15mm spacer in the back on my 350. I imagine the spacers would have to be larger on the 370. Or, you could get the 10.5" rear Nismos and put the 9.5 in the front. That way the spacers wouldn't need to be as big.

I think if you can get a set of stock GTR wheels on this car it would look sick! 18's are definitely too small for this car. I would stick with the factory 19's until you find the right set of wheels. I saw what the factory GTR wheels looked like on a black 350z and it was pure sex! So IMO I think that they would look even nicer on this car because of it's GTR roof line!

seeing how far in the NISMOs sit in on the rear of this car and remembering how they looked on my 350 makes me think the 370 stock wheels would look good on a 350, especially in the back.

I sold my 350Z stock wheels and then had to buy a set to trade the car in, and that was a giant hassle, so I may keep the stock wheels around, its just finding somewhere to store them.

I get alot more comments on the wheels than the car. Alot of people ask if they are stock and then seem amazed when you tell them they are.

They might look better with larger tires to match OEM overall diameter but 19s with better offsets would look sweet in the Nismos on a 370.

Imagine this in any other color...


I think that the blue car would look better with the silver version of these wheels.

Alright well let me know if you would like to sell them. I'll pony whatever $$$ it takes to take them off your hands.

As far as the banner, from a marketing perspective, I'll give props to Nissan for the ballziness.

However, at the same time, I laugh to myself, because while a good car, the 350Z was not that particularly fast, and I'm not sure there was a Porsche that it could pass... maybe a base stripper Boxster in the 1/4 mile.

Was there some back story on the banner? Like C&D did a comparo and the 350Z passed a Boxster in the 1/4 mile or so? Maybe it was a Cayenne...

hmm no.. when the 350z did come out was faster than the boxster and boxster S on the nurburgring, faster than some 964 and 993 on the same track... an quite close with the following series (but they never tested either the 300hp or the HR on the nurburgring)

that is the reference... 1/4 miles is only interesting for 300M people here in the states.

i want that banner.. lol! Sorry to say but you really need to put the stock wheels back on. Just drop your 370 or get some gt-r wheels like mentioned above.
