Fits best with 30mm spacers in front. I'm currently running those wheels with 245/40 18 fronts and 265/40 18 rears

Default 370z nismo wheels fit?

Hi all I'm wondering if 370z nismo wheels fit our car without modification. Does anyone know of any 350z nismo owners who have these in their ride? I'm going to be trading my nismo wheels for them.
The wheel specs are
19x9.5 et40 255 40 19
19x10.5 et30 275 40 19

Should I be concerned about tires sizes rubbing? I'm lowered on sportline springs.


The only pics I can find are non nismo z.

Photoshop any1?

Theoretically, you'd need about 20mm front and 10mm rear spacers and you'll be where the conservative fitments are (+/- 2mm). I have 19x9.5 +22 front and 19x10.5 +22 rear I have 10mm spacers all around which brings my wheels to +12 front and rear.

Default 2015 370Z NISMO Wheel Fitment on 350Z

Either my Google-Fu sucks, or full specifications on the 2015 NISMO 370Z wheels are just not available.

As an excited new owner of an '05 Roadster, I arranged to meet someone this weekend to buy the 2015 NISMO wheels, and did not bother to do fitment research first. Though I now suspect I'll need spacers for the front wheels to fit, having to do so will not deter me from buying them; I just wondered if anyone has any information on fitment and/or spacers and/or these wheels' offset.

Much love.

^ No, I have not tried to put them on. As stated, I will buy them this weekend.


Thanks for the link. That was the first place I looked during my search for specs. I'm particularly concerned about offset (hence my comment about spacers), and Nissan's website doesn't provide that information.

I figured it's hard to go wrong on a staggered set of Ray's 19" wheels new in the box for $800 (and that included shipping!). Now if I could just find a deal like that on a JWT TT!!! And yeah, I know it needs dropping some. I've got a set of Eibach springs on the way.





i flippin love these a buddy has them on his 03 coupe

Default Camber kit with 370Z Rays?

Hi guys. I got a good set of 370Z Rays for my 350Z. They are been powder coated right now to a gloss black finish.

But I have a doubt. I already studied the whole thread but can't find an answer.

Do I need a front camber kit in order to compensate the bigger (19") wheels?

In order to maintain the staggered setup and avoid any VDC issue, I'll be using 245/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear. Also I already have 25mm spacers installed all around; maybe I'll try how they look before removing, just leaving them in fronts.

I'll appreciate your comment and thoughts.

Thanks in advance

With no information thus far on fitment of the Rays wheels from the 2015 NISMO 370Z on our 350Zs, I'll consider myself a pioneer and demand that each of you reward me with an oatmeal cookie.

The 2015 NISMO Rays wheels, as most know, are 19 X 9.5 in the front and 19 X 10.5 in the rear and are equipped with 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 tires respectively. I can confirm that they have +40 mm and +27 mm offsets front and rear.

My '05 is equipped with Brembos. Fitment of the rear wheels was issue-less, but the front wheels (though they cleared the Brembos) required 5mm spacers as they rubbed against the suspension knuckles. No hub-centric rings were needed, as the bore size of our cars is the same as the 370Z's - 66 mm. I used the 370Z's lug nuts. I don't know whether or not the 350Z's lug nuts would have worked; I didn't try.

Here are some pictures I quickly took after they were installed. The car is on factory suspension, and I see no need to lower it (famous last words). I'd be happy to provide more pictures from specific angles; just let me know.










Those rears are wide!











P.S. - I have no preference between oatmeal cranberry and oatmeal raisin.

So I finally I installed them. 25mm on fronts only. No camber kit.

Yesterday while trying to remove one of the rear 370Z wheels installed on my 350Z, I figured out that it can't be removed !!! I took out all 5 nuts and when trying to pull the wheel out, it doesn't even move no matter how hard I try to pull it out

Any one have an idea or had been through this scenario with 370z Rays installed?

Default Nismo 370z wheels on a 350z

I changed the 18" original wheels for the 19" nismo wheels.
The thing is that the rear wheels are not flush with the body and they looks too much out
Of the body, it is about 3/4" inches outside. I think it is due to the offset.

Is there a way to cut out anything in order to get the wheel a little more inside the body?

Um...pics? People run 370z Nismo wheels on a 350z all the time (including me, shortly), and I haven't heard this problem at all.

What kind of spacers allow wheels to be run more tucked in?
