I currently have a 2007 350z with stock suspension and i was looking at upgrading to some XXR 526's. I was wondering what sizes would fit and if i would have to do anything to the fenders or upgrade the suspension to put these wheels on. I haven't purchased any and im not very familiar with the sizes yet. Any help will do, thanks!

 

Theirs a whole thread dedicated to this topic... But here's what a search of the word "XXR" came up with:

https://my350z.com/forum/search.php?searchid=14904966

 

I did the search but i was more implying on the offset's. What would fit on a stock Z without any modification and at what point would I have to start upgrading. I am new to this forums , but these are my third forums and i've abused the search button already.

 

I would highly recommend getting a square set up of the wheels 18 x 10.5
You can easily fit 10.5 in the front of the Z, let alone the rear. You should get your fenders rolled just for good measure, but if you run slightly stretched tires you should be ok.

In fact, I am picking up s brand new set of chromium black XXR 526's in 18 x 10.5 all around with tires this week! If you want them, let me know, PM me before I pop them up in the boards.

 

+1

As for your offsets: +15 in the rear and +20 in the front.

 

I actually was thinking about getting the 526's around taxes time. 18 x 10.5 should fit fine? I've also heard they are heavy but they can't be much more than the stocks. Isn't there another color they come in other than chromium black?

 

10.5 will be fine. I like staggard wheels with square tire setups. I had TE37sl 9.5/10.5 and offsets of +22/+15

I'm not a fan of XXS but black will look good on your white Z.

 

So go with a smaller tire in the front and 9.5 and a larger tire with 10.5 in the rear? What tire sizes would they be though, I believe the stocks are like 225 or 235 in front 245 in rear.

 

stock tire setups suck for the most part. Manufactures mainly use horrible staggard setups for safety. I was running 265/285 on the street but I recommend you run a 265 square or even 255 if you want to save money on rubber.

 

I see 255 all around and should I do the 9.5 in front 10.5 in rear?

 

To answer your question, it depends on the offset. I would focus more on the offset than the width as that'll depend on how flush it look on your car.

The Z is comfortable with a FRONT setting of: 8.5-10.5 with offsets of +18 - +30. The REAR can range from 8.5-11 with offsets of +15 - +35.

I absolutely loved my TE37SLs @ 9.5/10.5 +22/+15 with 265/285 continentals. The handling was predictable, stable, quick, and very grippy with all that rubber under me.

 

I see very nice, I guess i will just have to wait and see! Thanks for everything!

 

I say go with 265 for 9.5 and 285 for your 10.5. However, the bigger the difference between the tire widths, the more your car will understeer. As far as offsets, just look at the various wheel threads, you'll get a good idea on what fits and what doesn't. Keep in mind that wheel design, brand, rim widths, tire setup, camber, all play a role in determining whether you'll rub or not. I'm currently running 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 with 255/35R19 and 285/35R19 tires. Looking back, I should've went with +12 up front with 265 tires.

I've always been curious as to how a square wheel and tire setup would feel, if you could fit a 10.5 wheel with 285s or 275s up front go for it.
