Can someone please recommend a 18x9.0 wheel for a 370z with sport package, which would cost under $200 a piece? Tirerack gives a bunch of 18 inch wheels for a 370z under winter packages but all wider options are way too expensive ($360+).

 

got to pay to play! save up more and get the 9.5 wide rim.

 

Stock wheels may be better until you can afford nicer wheels for your $30k+ car.

 

Also, to top it off i think 9with would be way to narrow for the 3.7vq, sense it got more tq.

 

What are you trying to accomplish?

 

Don't put junk on your 370Z.

 

I am trying to come up with a universal set of track wheels, which could accomodate anything from 225 up to 265 size all around. I don't want to pay too much for the wheels, which are going to be punished with corrosive brake dust and possibly meet corner curbs. Looks is the last thing I worry about here. Just wanted to see if anyone has experimented already and got a confirmed fittment.

 

Well now you're talking my language, though I wouldn't be anything less than a 255 on a 9" wheel unless you are talking about drifting which is NOT my language. Given your budget limitations and the proposed usage, I suggest you shop in the used wheel/tire subforum for people selling SSR Comps, Enkeis, etc., that you can pick up for cheap and they likely have a few blemishes on them already. Remember that you'll need a relatively high offset for 350Z wheels to fit on your 370 - at least in the front. All my track wheels are high offset anyway so that I can fit a lot of rubber (285+) at each corner.

 

Even Rota's are gonna run $250+ wheel. Try looking around for a set of used Enkeis i.e. RPF1's. Also, don't limit yourself to 9.00 inch wheels, a 9.5, 10 or 10.5 are around the accepted ideal widths on the car.

 

The 9.0 width is primarily dicated by the fact that I already have a set of RT-615s left after my 350z. So, I thought about the 9.0, which would still fit 225 but eventually will take on wider sizes, like 265+.

Is anyone familiar with Konig Zero?

 

Thanks for advice. I will take a look there, though given my previous experience shopping around for used Enkeis - they are not giving up their initial price tag too easily.

 

Tire Rack match will match OEM wheels so that is not suitable search method.

Plenty of wheels with specs that suit your needs.

 

I think Tenzo makes those smaller wheel sizes with decent offsets.

 

You should look at XXR, for the size and weight of the wheels you are currently looking at, you could probably pick up a decent set used for CHEAP or new on ebay for cheap aswell.

 

I had posted this in another thread, please see below. The wheels are right at $200 per wheel including shipping



"As John mentioned, we have a few 18x9 +20 setups on clearance pricing right now. The Rota DPT is one of the setups and we also have the Rota SVN on sale! Each setup is in stock and ready to ship It looks like 18x9's for the 350Z aren't too hard to find, especially when they are only $800 shipped


Here are the current models/colors on clearance pricing

Do around 9.5 with a 30 to 40 offset and you can run 275/40 front and rear.

 

This 18x9.0 inch wheel is only $158. Check available offsets.

 

Did you go with DOT or competition tires?

 

Another outstanding gonnaget thread!
