Some 245/45-17 Nitto DRs would fit.
Ive considered doing that myself.

This is a good thread. Possible sticky?
Someone posted it a few up which of these will work with oem brembos? Or should we get stock 17s for DRs?
Thanks
Chris

It would be nice to have a compiled list of set ups with weights, sizes, offsets/backspacing, cost, ect.

yeah id love to put some MT ET's on the stock 17's but it doesnt look like the tire sizes are going to be ther for it....the only one that will really do the trick is the 275/40/17, but thats prob too wide with not enough sidewall...
has anyone mounted MT ET's on the stock 17's?

What 15" wheels are there that are lightweight, cheap, and 8" in width? I'm about to get a 26"x8.5" slicks, so I'd need 2 lightweight and cheap wheels. And no, I don't want to get Jegs or Welds or other racing wheels at the moment.

I bought the same setup used. (MT ET's & the same rims).
Is it normal for these to feel unstable at high speeds? Just before finishing the 1/4 mile, I can feel the car float around, which definately scared me the first time.

I doubt you're going down the track at 150. Which means your tire pressure is too low.
There's a saying in drag racing. I think it goes something like "you haven't drag raced until you do the slick dance going down buck fifty."

Rota produced 15x8" Slipstreams in 5x114.3 bolt pattern for a while. They no longer produce them but if you look hard enough you might be able to find some. I bought a set of 4 this spring because they are becoming so hard find and I sold two of the 4 (bought them for drag slick duty).
I am not sure how the offset would work on a 350z though, I bought them for use on my front driver. I can look at the box later and let you know the offset. I know they'd fit for you but they might be tucked way inside the fender, not sure.

Thank you, sir, for your help. If you don't mind, though, I'd like to know the offset.

^ In that thread, I posted a link (and 2 other members also) to a wheel that I'm currently leaning towards. Do you think you can give me your opinion on them? I think it was post 12.

SLIPSTREAM 1580 e40 5X114.3 73 FBLK
These wheels are very light and the 15x8 model is only 14 lbs The wheels will be pretty tucked on a Z though.
