Allright i am thinking about getting the nismo V2 body kit and wanted to know if it would look good with my stock '08 wheels. i will be eventually getting new wheels and tires but for the mean time i wanted a few opinions b4 i got the kit. I tried searching for any pics but didn't find anything. Thanks

 

I say get wheels first.

 

Stock bodied Z with the right wheels will look better than a kitted Z on stock rollers...

Putting aero on a car with stock wheels will only draw more attention to the fact that you have stock wheels. For the price of aero and paint, you could get a decent set of wheels and tires. Plus, you car will not only look better with the wheels, but will also handle much better.

I noticed a huge improvement in both straight line stability (front end felt nervous and jittery with stock wheels/tires) and cornering when I upgraded the stock wheels on my '05 Z. However, any improvements depend greatly on wheel width, offset, and tire selection.

Wider wheels with a lower offset and wider tires will accentuate the Z's stock lines. Add a set of lowering springs (I'm on Tanabe GF210 and love them), and you are set.

Aero can wait...

...but that's just me.

 

i got the nismo v2 kit before i got rims - i wanted to give the car a big change first haha - below is a picture of what my car looked like w/ stock 07 wheels - little fishy but okay with overall look and with rims.. looks great IMO --- BUT i'm just putting this out there so you can be your own judge and see what a v2 looks like on stock rims

Wheels are a painful pill to swallow, new tires/mount/balance.
Then immediate drop w/ springs or coils. Maybe a camber kit,
and thennnnnn start thinking aero. Good question.

 

Get wheels 1st...

 

+1 wheels first, it will make a bigger impact than a kit imo.

 

now im gunna have to try and decide on what tires and rims i want and suspension, the whole nines yards. Thanks for the help guys.

 

What about this option, just getting the V2 spoiler with the stock body and wheels? or no?

 

a spoiler on the stock body will look way too unbalanced. Especially the V2

 

yea that makes sense.
