You could always check out the new 19" P45 wheels. They come in wider widths and lower offsets than the LMGT4's and they are larger in 19".

LMGT4's come in 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 ....








To the OP... 19" LMGT4's would look better.

Rota? Not exactly Rays level quality at ~$250-300 a wheel. Looks? Fine. Quality and lightness? LMGT4's. Just get the wider rears, 9.5x19 would be too narrow.

Throw those rears 9.5's with the 275/35 on the front. That should be the proper size wheel and tire for the front of a 370 and post a pic please.

I have been looking for a set of LMGT4's. From what I have been told, they are no longer being made. So if you want a set, you better hope someone has them in stock.

It's easy to find 18's or 19's with 8.5F/9.5R BNIB at least for now. Last year sets were auctioning off from a low of ~$1100 to a high of $1800 on eBay, usually from Nissan dealers. Pretty good for a wheel with stock price of $699 each MSRP.

The 10.5 and larger are harder to score new. For the 370, the 9.5 is just too narrow - look at Modified Mag this month (my SCC "replacement" ), there's a 370 with 275/35/19's rear and they stop an inch inside the fender, it just looks wrong. But that's all it was - about an inch. A 10.5" rear and 9.5" front pair of 19's would probably look pretty good and give you enough rubber on the road, too.

Don't agree. Thumb through that March/April Modified and see the 19x9.5's. They're about an inch short of being flush, 10.5's would do it. Besides being overly large, heavy and hard to get and mount tires for, 12-13" wheels of same offset as LMGT4's would go into and possibly past the fender. Oh, and did I mention heavy? Yeah.

Besides, who takes OEM Rays off a car and puts something other than equal quality wheels like the LMGT4's unless show is more important than go? Show would be minimal with rubber past the fender.

gettin wheels to be flush has nothing to do with how wide they are, its the offset. you can have a 4 inch wide front runner drag wheel with the right offset be flush.

Mathematically correct maybe but missing the point, bringing 4" wheels into the conversation...no sheets, you might also be able to mount a bicycle tire flush on a 1" rim,

The simple answer is the NISMO Rays LMGT4's are too "small" for the car in a 19". You could use spacers, not something I'm a fan of.

Given the choices in 19" diameter rims, and the constraint you want mount about a 275-285 tire , or a 10" rim or so, this car requires a little more offset than the same config on a Z33 or V35. The point is a 19x9.5" LMGT4 (see: name of this thread) won't fill the wheel well with its available offset - they're fine with my V35 C but the 370 just swallows these rims. I wouldn't want more than about a 10.5" only for weight and tire reasons.

SO, a 10.5" rim with the same offset would have mounted close to flush on the 370Z compared to the 9.5" rim, but safely inside the fender - not quite flush. Kind of like this.

i would love to see the stock 370z or gtr wheels on a 350z, i think that would look hot. the wheel from either one of those vehicles is the only thing i like about them along with the brakes
