^Looking good Snyzzle.

I was randomly able to speak to someone who just sold these wheels that were imported directly from Japan.

18x9.5 +12 | 18x10.5 +15

You may recall seeing them in the marketplace:

Those look hot Waizz. However, I really want, and have yet to see the 19x10.5 +30 size for the rear mounted on a 350Z. Anybody have pics? I heard they look the same (same 2" lip) as the 19x9.5 +12 fitment for the R32 -R34 GTRs.

never saw them either but I would look at japanese sites for pics. I'm pretty sure theres nothing significant that would distinguish it from other sizes unlike the usdm lmgt4 8.5 have no dish and 9.5 have concave or lip.

The guy that bought my nismos posted pix on the local website...

Z32 with absolutely no mods.
Some say the wheels are too big - I'm waiting for a body kit and some coilovers before making the judgement call. What do you guys think?

I agree with most of you that the gunmetal is what I'm going to probably go with... just if I could get a shiny gunmetal?

ALso, one of the front wheels has a little scuff - that was my reason for wanting to PC.

The first and second pic make them look huge, but I like the 3rd pic. I'm with you on the kit and coils though.

Yep Z34 Nismo wheels are WAY to big for a Z32. They make the car sit up too high. I also can't believe that they even fit without modding the car. That being said I've seen a couple of Z32s with Z33 wheels and they look really nice. Especially the early 350Z Track wheels.

Of course I think that my 370Z Nismo wheels look slightly too big on my 350Z because they are so open.

That's one reason I prefer my Volk Racing G2s on the 350Z.

Of course the 370Z Nismo wheels are in my opinion almost the perfect wheels for the 370Z. That's why I've decided to keep them on the 37OZ. But at least I've got options if I want to interchange them.

Z32's can't accept the same offset as Z33's or Z34's, it just looks awkward.

Tires are too stretched for my taste. A drop and bigger brakes and the Z32 would look alright. It still doesn't address the improper width/offset issues though.

Need some inputs guys, help me out.

My current set up is 18x8.5 et 25 and 18x9.5 et30 with 245/40 and 275/40 lowered on tanabe gf210 and rolled fenders. No rubbing issue at all.

My new set up is 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12 with 245/35 and 275/35.

Will i have rubbing issue?

thanks

Your fenders are rolled and you're tires aren't too wide so I think you'll be fine. A +12 offset is agressive IMO though, but that's nothing that a little (a lot more than normal actually) of negative camber can't fix.

What's the big deal with rolling fenders? Just get it done to be safe otherwise they will take a beating.

Here's a set of LM's I saw last night on a Z32:

Thanks. I'm just concern that the roll wasn't enough to clear the wheels. I'll just put them on and see.

It will be fine, your rear tire is not too aggressive.

Pics of the wheels?

I will officially roll my fenders next year. The 19x10.5 LMGT4s have been calling my name for some time now. 285s or 295s should be fine with the 30mm offset.
