New to me '04 350Z!!
New member and new Z owner. I have a 2005 Maxima and really like it. Figured a Z made sense for a "fun" car.
I just brought this home last night at 10:30PM. Stock '04 Touring Coupe 6-speed. 73k miles and bone stock.
Now to go through the hassle of titling...

Thanks everyone. I've been driving the Z quite a bit (~700 miles so far) and really like it.
I'm a 41 year old guy and have no plans to make this a "fast & furious" car. The only thing I didn't like about this car was the wheels. They are almost identical to the Maxima wheels I've been staring at for the last 110k miles.
I have a question regarding tires. It has factory 18s on it now. I don't plan on lowering it and would prefer to stick with 18" wheels/tires. I see some decent looking 18" wheels (in the 18" wheel thread) that I could see me possibly buying in the future. So, the question is, are there larger tires that I can buy now and mount on the stock wheels that I could re-use on new rims in the future? I'm considering something with a machined/polished lip and not sure yet about black/silver/gray centers.
There are SO many wheel/tire threads on the forum it makes my head hurt trying to read them all.
Thanks again!

Apparently, the Touring 6MT comes stock with 18s. The Touring with AT had 17s.
I had no clue there were so many "flavors" of these. Base, Enthusiast, Touring, Track, High Rev...crazy how many models there are from year to year.

The best option would be to buy tires depending on what size wheels you would like to purchase later on. Hope this helps

Exact car as the one i bought back in February!! Silver 6MT 04 Touring every option besides nav 76k miles (79k now) . Gotta LOVE IT!!! One modification I would recommend is a K&N cold air intake. Bumped my MPG from 29 to 32mpg at 58-59 MPH. I avg 29.6MPG at 70MPH. Its the only mod i've done to my car and has already payed for itself.

I have considered 370Z wheels as well, but read about the fronts needing spacers and longer studs.
Is yours lowered? Did you have to use spacers on the fronts?
