too skinny, wrong offsets. I think they run 8' all around and are made for 245 tires. Unless you plan on tracking the car, these are not ideal.

Actually I'm surprised, looks pretty nice. Might have to watch out being called a ricer though with the gtr logos And what's wrong with 8 inch all the way around? The stock 18 Z wheels ( pre 06 ) were all 8". So you could run staggered tires or same all the way around ( my vote would be same )

Take it easy,
West.

Not my Z, but if i had them (if i can even find them) i'd probably remove the "GTR" emblems or replace them with the Z symbol.

Looks good, other than the 19' G35 rims these are the best looking OEM Nissan rims on a Z.

They are OK. I prefer the 06 stockers over those wheels. Not feeling the 8's all around either.

the skylines were my first set of wheels. They are 18x9 with a 35 offset all around. Tire size 245's in the front and 265's in the back. You well need to use a spacer. They are very good track wheels.
