Default 17" Enkeis

Hi,

I am looking for a used set of light weight 17" enkeis that will fit my 07 350z.

WITH or WITHOUT tires.


I do not really like how they look on the Zs, but like Mike said, it would be a great upgrade for autocross, and the tires would be much cheaper.

PM me with what you have and what you want for it.

Thanks!

Get 17x9's so that you can still compete in STR. If you go bigger you will have to play with me in BSP. You won't have fun unless you jump to hoosiers and really upgrade the suspension.

Yep.

Thats the biggest one Im looking for. That and offsets of +15 to +35 as you recommended.

Since I am so bad at remembering stuff, I made notes when you told me the sizes to choose, as well as the offset and the tire choice (Dunlop Star Specs in 255/40/17).

Im just trying to find the stuff used to save some money if I finally go for the diff.

Buy these to go with the 17x9's....they are on sale.

You are looking at a SIGNIFICANT improvement with 17x9's and these tires on there....probably 2 seconds right off the bat at an SCCA event.

Be aware that the clutch type diffs are pretty obnoxious if you plan to daily drive it. Probably want a qualfie if you plan to DD it.....or you could pony up for a OS Giken (expect 2500 or so bucks installed). With the 17x9's....I would go for +15. May still need to roll the rear, but I think you should be fine. You should also think about getting an alignment. You want to max out the available negative camber and caster. The toe should be very slightly out in the front and in on the rear (or you can run 0 f/r as well).
