I'm being sponsored on a Veilside Version 3 wide body kit and need some suggestions on wheels. I currently have Axis Seven mods 19 X 8 which are too small for the wide body. The color of the car is also going to change (probably a yellow or green lamborghini color most likely, we haven't decided yet.)
Keep in mind this is going to be a show car. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The body kit is currently at the shop, but I'm getting my daily driver ready so can't quit driving the 350Z yet.
This transformation is probably going to happen withing the next couple of months.

Thanks

 

Why not just get the Veilside rims that are on the Veilside widebody Z?

 

I'm keeping the veilside rims in mind, but I'd kind of like something different.

 

I would suggest either Kinesis or Fikse.

 

Deep deep HRE's or Works

 

how much wider are the fenders now? Id think custom... maybe Iforged could help? Im guessing your talkin like 3 or 4" more? in which case your lookin at atleast 13" rims... WAY more than the Z has the power, for, but thats ok. even at 13" you need a low offset to push them way out.

could do spacers, but they arent that big, and if they were... that sounds dangerous.

 

you are going to need some negative offset wheels. like -12.

 

here are some pics to give you some choices:

Racing Hart C2 3-Pc. (18x13)


HRE 540 (20x13)


plenty more where those came from...

 

13" tires.... whats that come out to? like 345 or 355 tires? jeez....

how much do THOSE tires cost??? damn 275s are expensive as hell.

 

You're going to need a lower offset than that, I talked to Ray from Veilside this weekend at D1 about the rims on the Veilside Z, theyre 20x11" with a -18 offset

 

I do not know if you like the looks of HRE's but if you do, Bob Hale does all their fitting. They will come out just as you like them, custom built, right the first time. Call information, HRE wheels, Vista California. You need to talk to Bob.

 

Andrew Evolutions or HRE's

 

yup the whole setup is
Rear 20*11 (-18 Offset)
Front 20*9 (18 Offset)

a very big lip tho =)

the RPM v.3 was running 20 * 13's and really wasn't too much of a difference since you have to push it some

 

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Man, this is going to be soo difficult! I like the looks of the iforged for the money so far.
As far as performance, I definitely want it to be driveable, but we're going to make it mainly for show so it really doesn't matter if it takes time off of my 0-60 or 1/4 mile times
Probably going to wait until the paint is all done(2-3 months) and see if I can get a full or partial sponsorship on some wheels/tires. If this paint job comes anywhere close to what they're talking about, I don't think it will be that difficult.
Thanks again, can't wait for the finished product.

 

make sure you get those offsets right, remember, it is for show so it has got to look perfect.

 

Thack,
check your PM. Thanks!
