Any issues with the track Brembos? Do they require spacers?

I've heard that they do require spacers but I'm not 100% sure about that

Well, seeing as the tire sizes I chose gave me almost EXACTLY the same diameter as my stock 17"s, I'd say go back outside and check.

I took these pics with the camera on the ground, pointing UP at the Z, so it probabally has to do with the angle. That, and since it was sunset, the shadows may play a few tricks as well.

The only other thing I can think of, is that the springs might have needed a little settling after jacking the car up to put the wheels on... it looks normal to me now.

Did the traction rods/bars by lsd reduce or eliminate your wheelhop. It is my worst enemy at the current moment.

you WILL have to use spacers with the stock brembos... i tried to fit my wheels onto a g35c with brembos and it wasn't close to fitting.

I LOVE them. I have them in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245's and 285's.

They are about the same weight as my stock 17's. They are lighter than you'd think for a cast wheel.

I've hit some nasty pot holes and have never bent a rim.

The one thing I did have to do was run spacers because the offset was a little too large for me..... but spacers are not needed.
Your car looks ****! I think these are going to be the wheels I buy. What offset did you get and why exactly are you running spacers? Did they sit too far into the wheel well? What offsets do they offer?

Thanks

I think they only offer +35mm in the 19's. That offset is fine. It puts the wheels right about where the stock ones would be.

I prefer a more aggressive wide track where the wheels are just barely clearing the fender.... hence the spacers.

N74DV,

Where did you get the Falken tires and how much do they run? I'm think about getting the 19" ADR's.

How many miles do you think you'll get out of them? One other thing, are they feathering at all? My stock tires are feathering like no other. I might just wait till Nissan or I fix the suspension.

I expect to get about 10,000 miles out of them. I drive fairly aggressive. They are not feathering... but I am lowered about 1.8" so that may change things.

That's the same size I plan on using. I may go with Nitto or Goodyear tires. Are you experiencing any tire feathering/cupping problems with your setup? Did you have your alignment checked after putting in the wheels and tires?

Thanks!

They have been on for a few thousand miles, and no feathering yet. I didn't really have any problem before either, though. I am going for an alignment after I get my suspension put on (B+G Springs with LSDUnique rear camber arms)
