did you put spacers in the front? what's the purpose of installing spacers in the front with 35offset, just to push it out a little?

do you think the tire pressure sensor would work with this rim? I know you probably don't have it, but was wondering.. thanks!

OMG! Look! Your lip is bent! Just f**king with you.

About the spacers... are you putting longer bolts on the hub? I hope so, because 12MM is a LOT and you will be eating nearly a half inch of thread which is TOO much on the stock bolts.

BTW, the wheels looks great on the Brickyard! What sizes are the tires again?

I wish I could answer that question, but I dont know if the tire pressure sensor will work

Sizes are 245 35 19 and 255 40 19. Best I could do in the S0-3's. They look great though. Yes, of course, Im getting longer studs. 60mm from whoever I can get them from. Then its oinly 2mm less of thread (not even noticeable).

I just want to sit them flush with the inside of the fender for a lil more aggressive look. Now its not bad, but not perfect either.

Who was it that sold you a 255 with a minimum 8.5" rim width requirement for your 8" rims?

Doh, this again haha.

I got them from a friend. Plenty of people run that wide and wider on an 8". Im not going to go out and tell EVERYONE to do it, but it works. Many times folks have gone back and forth about the wheel/tire ordeal and widths. I try to stay out of it.

It is fine.....there is 0 bulge whatsoever and there is no chance i hell its going to break the bead and fly off. The patch is completely touching the ground also.

That's a good tire size selection. I will probably go with them as well. Thanks!

Scott, the wheels look great, but you can't be "Mr. Get Screwed", because I am!

Do you think it's ok to go with 245/40/19 in the front? I think with a little more rubber it would ride better and take the potholes easier. what do you think?

Check your overall diameter and compare to stock. Is it close??

Your wanting to run these wheels? I suggest letting whoever you buy them from MOUNT the tires. If not, youll be NOT SO HAPPY!

They are Y rated and has 280 treadware, with AA Traction so I think that should mean something

I believe they are Korean Tire Co.?

I've heard of hanook tires. They aren't great and they wear quick as hell, but they are really cheap.

Default rims

Those look nice. Will look even better with the spacers. I like the front grille chrome touch. Is that the side molding plastic stuff you added on. It looks great!

I'm new to this stuff guys...

But, Am I right when I say larger in diameter/wider wheels actually decrease acceleration? I understand rim weight also is a factor. Can someone maybe suggests the best combo of performance/looks (keep in mind my 350z is a daily driver like most of yours)? What is the stock rim width for touring/enthusiest?

Those AXIS rims are reallllly nice wadd! How wide are they again?

Sorry to hear you had problems with your rims "wad", mine were fine. They look great and will look even better with the spacers. 12mm will leave you enough room to drop the car a little if you decide to. Did you order your studs from Nismo yet? I have "nine" of them... (don't ask) If you'd like to buy them I'll cut you a deal so I can recoup "some" of my money. I didn't need them for the 20x10's in the rear.

Again...I think they look great!
