Just got some new chromium black XXR 527s with Nitto Invos on my stock 350z the other day. Here's the first pics. Thanks to all who post pics/specs. It does make it much easier when picking out wheels.

^stock height?

if so, i think im going with a 40 series tire rather than 35 with whatever wheels/tires i end up getting. that way i can kill the wheel gap, but not have to go to low to where i can't even get over a speed bump.

- looks good btw

Stock height for now. If you do the 35 series, you really need to go wide. I didn't want such a heavy tire, so I kept to the 40.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it.

Are any of you guys using the TPMS sensors in these wheels? Or just driving on these xxr wheels without them, and ignoring the tpms light on the dash?

anything lower than a 40 series tire on stock height will look like crap unless you drop it. personally i like the beefy tire look and im running a 40 series tires on a 1.5" or so drop.

Common front tires 245/40-18 and 275/35-18 are pretty much the same height. Same with the 275/40-18 and 295/35-18 rears. Nothing wrong with 35 series at stock height if you have the right width.

Default Help Wheel help from accident

Long story short, A tractor trailor fell asleep at 1am on my way back from north texas and he swerved into my lane. I went off the road so I wouldnt get hit, but ran over a rock that was nearly the size of a basketball. It bent both of my work Meister s1 3pc's on the passenger side and I need replacements asap

I found some XXR that are 18x8.5 +35 fronts and 18x9.5 +35 rears. The rears have tires, if I take the 18x9.5's +35, would they clear oem brembo's? I need to know asap so my car doesnt sit overnight where it is :/

Please and thank you

The lips actually aren't black. The wheel artist tinted clear coat so its actually a smoked chrome.

You'd have to see the in person they do match close but the light doesn't hit the lip to show its a smoke chrome that's why I was trying to takes pics on a angle. Look at the rear shot where the rims poke look at the lip that's what it looks like in the sun
