Nissan LMGT5 (Z34 Nismo, 19x9.5 +40, effective +20 (spaced) F and 19x10.5 +23 R - 255 and 285/35 respective. Given this, most any Z34 wheels will fit incl. Sport 19x9/10 so long as front is spaced properly.
Fronts REQUIRE 20-25mm spacers to give an effective offset of +20, +15, respective.
Any of you guys run into any bump steer when going to the 370 wheels? I just put a set(370 19" Sport wheels) on my Z (stock suspension) and now have some major bump steer. Used Z1 20mm spacers.

Number one: How is alignment?
But no, never experienced that issue. Given that you're on stock suspension, I doubt very much that what you're experiencing is actually bump steer - it's a suspension function. I'd guess you're having issues with the tires improperly tracking.... could be simple: improper pressures, mismatched (and I don't mean just brand or size, could be one is out of round). If you can, put your old wheels/tires back on and compare. Or, another test, while unconventional, is rotate them front to rear and drive a bit on them to see if the "all over the road" feeling goes away; then you'll know something's up with the front tires.
One other thing - which will sound silly but - check your lug torque all around. Loose lugs sink.... er, can cause the same issue.
I have three sets of Z34 wheels that I rotate between, none have ever given me any issues even with 20mm+ spacers rotated in and out.
Thanks for reply. Alignment should be good. Spacer/lug nuts torque good. Front tires on 370z wheels not so much. PO had alignment issue so inside of tires worn more than outside, Plan is to get new tires very soon with alignment. Reason I thought it may be bump steer was that car acted squirrely occasionally(drove it a couple of miles). Would have thought that out of round tire or other tire issue would be a constant or variable to speed. Might try the the 350 wheels on the spacers and see what happens.
Update: Replaced tires and had aligned. No problems with it at all. Very happy with setup and it looks great.

Reason: Update
I just got some RAYS wheels off the 370 and installed them onto my 350. They look pretty sweet and I definitely will be posting pics tomorrow. I had to get 20mm spacers for the front to make them fit. The fronts seem to have about a perfect gap between the fender and the tire (almost looks lowered), but the rears have too much gap for my liking. How would the rears be different from the front? Also, I reused my old lug nuts from the 350 wheels and they seem to be working themselves off. I just drove around the block or so and they were coming loose. I tightened them and drove a little bit more and they seem to be doing it again. Any idea why that is? Hopw to have pics tomorrow.
you are using to wrong lugs dude... thay need to be flate with a washer...
