just want to kno which one do you guys perfer.. the 17's STOCK or the 18's STOCK touring?? does anyone know the rim size? are they the same..just curious...i might want to powder coat 17's and put nice tires and use it at the track...what do you think? is this a goood CHEAP INVESTmENT??? thanks! if you have pictures please post too!

 

if your going to use em for track, then why not! so with 17's unless you want big brake kit

 

The the better question would be why go with touring when you are thinking about tracking?

 

yeah i was thinkin about weight issue...but i wanna make sure my rims are FAT enough to keep me on the road...big brake kit is commin but im sure not anytime soon...lol i dont have money tat much money yet...plus im a noobie at the track...i just wanna get some track time in and paratice...and learn...so does anyone uses 17's on track?? and does anyone have rim size on 17's?

 

WUT??

 

If I do recall, Touring 18's are lighter. As far as looks, it's all opinion. THe 18's will handle better. This is because the tire size is different(smaller sidewall). 18's will accomodate a big brake kit better.

 

thats with stock tires...does anyone have the RIM SIZE!?!? if i upgrade tires to AZENIS, then its better right? but i need SIZE! someone must know!..because i want to go to the event on NOV 26-28 nor cal Z track day..in thuderhill...i want to get things set up..and its about tat time that i start puttin things together for that event! anyone going from the bAY??

 

The 17" wheels are 17"x7.5" for the fronts & 17"x8" in the back. The 18" wheels are 18"x8" front & rear.

If you are interested in a set of 17", I have a set I would sell & I am in the Bay Area too, so pick-up would be easy. PM me if interested

Hmm....so to finally have my question answered, If I decide to go with aftermarket 18" wheels, I would hafta look for some that are 18"x8" so I can stay with the tires that cam with my Z? Or would I be able to buy some nice 18"s 'n still have the factory Z tires fit on them? My issue is since I get free tires from Nissan for 3 years, I might as well try to buy rims that can still be compatible with those tires. Honestly, if I sound completely idiotic saying this, it's because I'm not an expert in this area. Any help is greatly appreciated =).
Also because some stupid lady who doesn't know how to drive forced me into a curb 'n I have nasty curb rash on my passanger front wheel A reason for me to buy new wheels
