Gram Lights 57S Sizing
Gram Lights 57S Sizing
Hey Everyone,
I've decided to go with a set of Gram Lights 57S for my 03 Enthusiast Z and needed some help. I want to order a set in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 sizes but when I go to order from Tire Rack there is no mention of offsets. When I called the salesperson said the offsets they use cannot be disclosed (wtf?). Which offset will give my Z a nice flush look without rubbing? Finally, does anyone know the offset of the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 NISMO wheels? I know Jason posted it awhile back but I can't find it, on the site I only see the offsets for the 19inchers is this the same? Will these offsets be the best option for my 57S'?
Best Regards,
Gus

I was able to find the front offset at tirerack, +30. There was no data for the rear and there isn't a size chart listed at the mackin industries page. +30 in the front will be better than stock, but not by much - it will still be tucked in a bit.
If I remember correctly, Nismo offsets are +25 front and +30 rear.

Tire Rack is pretty cautious about what wheels they sell for the 350Z and if they fit. They will give you wheels that fit similar to stock. They will not play games with extreme offsets so the wheels look cool.
The offset of the NISMO wheels? You can find it in any NISMO advertisement.

I think I'm going to go with their recommended sizes. I just need to find out if a BBK (front and rear) will fit later on. I called up Rotora, no answer, so I left a message. Does any one have input as to whether these wheels with accomodate a BBK later on?
I don't know how correct their data is, but if you select a 350Z track model as your vehicle, supposedly they will only show wheels that fit over the Brembos. I think the Brembos actually require more clearance than some aftermarket BBK's, so if they work for the Brembos they should work for your BBK.
