Default New Shoes Teaser Thread

Just recieved my order after 6mos of long waiting.



I still need to buy tires, But here are the specs

18x10 Volk GTS TI Gunmetal
18x9

Just Think Big Lip. I will not Reveal Offsets until I see them on my car, If I dont like them I will be changing things up and going with a set of Works.

Wow, you bought more than 25 Rays wheels! Are they different models, so you can change them daily/weekly?

Hehe, no a buddy of mine owns a shop that sells high end wheels and tires.

I placed placed an order for new wheels with a large order of his!

I wish I had 25 or even the 50+ volk wheels he stocks.

But I got a hell of a deal on these... Cost *Ahem*

All I had was a crappy cam phone so Ill take some better pics late.


Edit: PS the best part is paying before then its like a JDM x-mas all over again.

With those offsets, I hope you're rolling your fenders and have negative camber.

Yes & Yes.

just the rear fenders.

I am only Running a 285 35 18 rear tire. Im not really trying to be elusive with my offsets lol, I just dont have the wheels in front and I forget.

I thought I ordered +15 & +23

For 18's and with your assumption with getting the most maximum lip, I wouldve ordered 18x9 +11 (100mm) 18x10 +11 (113mm). This setup would be pretty aggressive but if you wanted to go SUPER aggressive, you couldve gone 18x10 +15 (100mm) 18x11 +25 (113mm). Essentially, both fitments will have the same amount of lip but with the second fitment, youd be able to run wider tires in the rear. Only downside is youd have to do some fender rolling and aggressive camber.

Ill have to double check, they are sitting in the garage, and I am not at home.

I told ryan, my buddy who owns the shop, get the biggest lip possible for 350Z with Brembo.

I gave him my suggestion on offsets but whether he got what I suggested or something different I havent checked. I opened them up and looked the lip was about 5"
