If you want the specs, PM me or contact one of the SSR Dealers

All i can say publicly, is that the fronts are 20x9.5 and the rears are 20x11.
looks nice. but wouldnt it be BETTER for business if you were to made it easier for people wanting to order your wheels that is on the car? besides i dont see Work or Rays Engineering with their own SN on this site.

I'd understand if you were trying to stay ahead of the game as a tuner, but as a sponsor i think it would be more appropriate to advertise "proper" agressive wheel fitments for prospective buyers.

Yes and no. It is actually a much tougher issue that it seems. On the surface, we obviously want to give our customers the best support. On the other hand, we don't want our competitors to take our research and use it for themselves.

If anyone wants to order the wheels that are on the car, all they have to do is find one of our dealers and say, "Hey please give me the same fitment as on the red Z," and we'll be glad to supply them with those wheels.

Believe it or not, we DO get callers who will call in and ask us to research offsets for them. Then, we call them back a day later with our recommendations, thinking they'll buy our wheels, when in fact they use our research to buy some other guy's wheels. Unfortunately, it happens far too often.

Now, the situation is totally different for say, a 240sx or an Evo8, where the offset data is old news. In those cases, we can give you proper offsets all day long. However, the 370Z is relatively brand new.

And yes it's true that Work and Rays may not have user names on this site. I have no idea why they wouldn't want to. There's a strong possibility that they don't want to spend marketing money on this sort of thing. I really don't know. But it's our plan to stay in as close contact with our customers as we can.

But to keep a long story short, if you want aggressive fitment on your 370Z, all you have to do is call one of our dealers or call us and say, "Hey, give me that fitment."

To find a dealer near you, please check out our dealer list here:

Did you get some adjustable camber and toe arms to get the alignment back to stock or close to stock specs? If you hit a bump to you get any tire rub in the rear with 315?? I am curious if the tires are going to wear quick with a larger rear and being lowered.

The car in the photos only had stock alignment parts lowered on Tanabe S-0C coilovers. And yes, the tires in the rear did rub a little bit over sharp bumps.

By "larger rear," are you referring to the wheels?

As in all cars, if the alignment is not set properly, you'll get faster tire wear.

I think 20" is the way to go on the 370. Any chance of seeing a 20" version of the SP1 in the future? This is what I will be aiming for when I get my 370z:

We don't have a release date for 20" SP1s yet, but when they're available, we'll surely have another photoshoot.

You know a 20X11.5 +18 would look sick in the back and a 20X9.5 +10 or +0 would look beyond gangster nice car either way

I agree! Besides, the other wheel manufacturers do their own R & D on wheel fitments.
