Default 2013 370z 18" wheels on my 350z


I think it looks pretty sharp. I've got spacers for the front coming in next week but I think these wheels work pretty well on the 350z. I think a small drop will round it out nice.

Drop like you said and plus size the tires a little and itll be set. Looks good, much better than getting a cheap set of aftermarkets.

Yea, the whole point was to avoid cheap wheels lol. I want the OEM+ look. Ever since I saw these wheels on the 370z I thought they would look great on the 350z. I got the spacers on today and it brings the front wheels flush.

Unfortunately I snapped a stud due to my cheap torque wrench

I'll be picking up either swift r's with koni yellows or ohlins coils next springs. Spent too much money already lol

Hey I know this thread is a bit old but I have a chance to pick up a set of these with tires for my 350z roadster can you tell me if spacers were needed on the rear or just the front?

Z34 offsets are high in front only. Usually somewhere north of +40.

Rear OEM wheels are usually in the neighborhood of +30 like Z33s.

Yes. Spacing the rear would be optional if you want to "stance it out" (to bring the wheel closer to the fender lips).

19" Nismos? OK, well skip what I was about to say.... that is: Careful on lugnuts.... Z34 wheels use shanked/washer lug nuts versus acorns on the Z33. But since you already have 'em...

Sorry to revive this old thread again but can anyone tell me what size spacer would work with the rear wheels to bring them closer to the fender without rubbing?

Need to clarify.... you are referring to the late model 370Z wheels that are the exact same as the ones in the first post of this thread?

Just looked those up to be sure because I seemed to recall that these had a very different offset from the Nismo V5s that I'm more used to.... These 370Z wheels are 18x9 rears with +15 offset and accordingly, would GUESS that you'd only be able to get away with maybe 10mm spacers. And there's a good chance you'd need to roll if lowered. But again, this is just an educated guess.

Just a public service reminder for anybody considering 370Z wheels: the lug nut seats are different and you'll need a full set of 370Z lug nuts to safely mount them (spacers or not) on your car! Don't use 350Z lug nuts and have those wheels get loose- I bet there're some people who've lost wheels b/c of this..

Yeah they are the same wheels at the beginning of this thread. I do have the right lugs for them. I am not lowered just want them to stance out a bit more than they are I just didn't want to order/buy the spacers and then have them not work. I think 10 mm might be all I can get away with thanks for the info guys.

what tires are you running with those wheels? I have these and I have 225/50/18 in the front and 245/45/18 in the rear and my traction control occasionally goes haywire. I am needing new tires in the back and I am thinking of going 255/45/18 to bring the overall diameter in the rear bigger to hopefully solve the problem however not sure if this tire size will rub, any input guys.
