right, no spacers and stock suspension. these days 1 decent tire is going to cost you at least $200-250. so i think its well worth it.

i have gotten a lot of compliments since i put them on and its funny because its basically stock.

but once its paid off soon its gonna be on.lol

Do it!
I paid a little less for mine but just for the wheels without tires. I purchased them for seperate rims for time trials/auto x.

Thats a deal.

buy the rims and do whatever you want but dont run spacers... save your monies and buy rims to fit your style accordingly. just my 2 cents

yeahh ill probably pick em up sometimes in the near few weeks.. only reason why i was gonna get it asap was because my left rear tire wasnt holding any air when my friend mounted new tires all around.. but turns out the stem was messed up.. so i saved myself a bunch of money on my car insurance

Personally, I like to be original. I wouldnt put g35 rims on a 350z. I guess everybody has an opinion though.

Get them! I know people who have paid $1000+ for these. 2 stock sized tires already cost $350.

These are stock Nissan wheels.. as stamped on the inside. Looks good too. Plus

Thanks. Right after I got the springs/struts/sways put on. I got the bug and went ahead and ordered intake/plenum spacer/testpipes. Paired with my tune I already had I'm in amazement. I can tell this is the beginning of the end. Lol

i went with 255/45/18 in the rear. its actually a hair taller than stock size (.3" more in diameter)

basically you dont want to go more than 3% difference from stock. 255/45's run 1.3% slower, and 255/40's run 2.4% faster. the 255/45's are closer to stock diameter

No problem and Yep that's the sizes I have. Its not really recommended to go wider than a 255 on an 8 inch rim like the Z stockers and G wheels. Although I've heard of people running 265's. I just didn't want to take that chance.

You can google "tire size calculator" and compare all kinds of sizes to your stock diameter. There are tons of calculators around.
