Default Looking to trade 19" NISMO wheels for 18" NISMO wheels

I bought a set of pristine, standard, 18/19 NISMO wheels and tires with 9k on them with stock 245/40 and 265/35 Bridgestone RE050 tires:

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...007-nismo.html

I'd like to have all 18" NISMO wheels. Anybody interested in trading their pristine 18" wheels for my 19" wheels? Tires are a plus, otherwise cash on top with just wheels is ok, too.

Thanks!

NZMOWND: The wheels are 120 miles from you. Rodney, the guy I bought them from, said he can just swap with you, then he can ship me all of the 18s.

I know a 19x10 +30 wheel will fit up front, however, I have never seen them put up there. Maybe you could jack up one side of your car and do a front-to-rear swap, just to see if you like how it'll look.

Traction control shouldn't go off!

From experience traction control will only go off if the rear is off sized by being smaller...

If we do this, the 265/35/19 set that you get from me would work perfectly if you got 285/35/19 tires for your rear set.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if that was on the 18 or 19. Thanks for all your good pics, Rodney!

And King - thanks for kicking this around with me the past couple of days, and for chiming in here with your statements!

I am. NSMOWND expressed interest and is supposed to send me pics of his wheels this weekend. If you could do the same, that would be good. Hopefully we can make something work next week to move forward. PM them to me (PM'ing links is probably easiest) if you can tomorrow, or I'll send you my email address. So 14k miles with original OEM wheels I assume? I assume that's pretty worn, which isn't a huge concern - clean wheels are the major item. Thanks!

I can take pics for you tomorrow (3/20), which is technically today haha, but you know what I mean. I actually replaced the tires with bridgestone potenza re-11 with a 265/40/18 tire up front cause I went wider (285 rear), and the roads around Richmond are kinda so-so, so the somewhat improved ride quality helped too, but I hardly ever drive my car. So its really about 10k miles on the re-11 and they have about 65-70 percent tread life left (again, I hardly drive the vehicle, and when I do its for small trips, etc.) The wheels are mint, minus a TINY scratch that I had noticed when I picked up the vehicle new; but they touched it up, but it is in the inner wheel like where the brake rotor would be "above it", not on the actual spokes, so you can't see it. Let me know if a trip can be arranged or if you want to ship them or whatnot. BTW, will the 19 inch rims fit okay on the front?

Update: We're all set. Two happy new owners - one with all 19s for a 350Z, and one with all 18s for a 300ZX TT. Pics to come. Sounds like the 19s require a spacer, maybe 10-15mm, again - will update.
