I was going to get the Bronze, but after thinking about it, it won't look that clean on a silver car. I think I will stay with silver.
will the stock TPS fit? It should right since it's NISMO?

Mr. Potato Head, I also have Eibach springs, do you think the rear will extend out too much that it will rub the tires?
do you think the stock 245/45/18 will be okay with these wheels for now?

I think everything will be ok. Also, Nissan "recommends" the S Tune Suspension be used with these wheels. It lowers it some too. The Nismos have a 30mm offset in the rear like stock so they will be pushed out 19mm in the rear. I think it will be ok. Could you measure the available distance when you get a chance? I can't find my ruler... The fronts will be pushed out 11mm.

on my car, there's about 14mm between the outer edge of the tire and the inner edge of the inside fender.
I think you said okay, but I just want to make sure 245/45/18 can be mounted okay on 18x9.5" wheel?

Center caps come with them and are included in the price. Yes the TPS's fit just like stock.

Here are a few things that I like about the Nismo LM-GT4:
1. authentic rims just for the 350z (no replica I know of)
2. 18lbs / wheel!
3. stock tps will fit
4. can still use stock tires now with larger tires possible later on.
5. polished lips (even though not as much as others)
6. did I mentioned NISMO?
Thanks guys!

I just talked to our tire company. They said the 245 will fit the front, but but running the 225/245 combo may lead to trouble. In a hard corner you might debead the tire from the rim.

TE37 is a 6-spoke wheel... the NISMO wheel is a 5-spoke. But, I think they both are manufactured by Mackin Industries (Ray's Engineering, VOLK). That is why they look similar.
For what it's worth... the Track model 350Z wheels are a variation of the TE37.
