Looks cool I love these wheels on the Z. I'd suggest some spacers however just to push the wheels out to the corners more. It will make a huge difference visually. Just my 2 cents but again it's looking cool!

Just curious, but why did you pick that offset? I love these wheels and am trying to find a good deal on them, but I'm waiting on offset info. I know +35 is available (wouldn't look as tucked as the setup you went with) and was going to order those.

I also read somewhere that Axis has an offset package for 350z's and 5series beamers that is like +15 and +20. Or something like that. I'm waiting on an email back from Axis before I order to find out if that offere exists and if I can fit it with my car being SO dropped.

Looks good

Take care.

Hmmm, well I've seen lots of TE-37's in the size you are running at +22 all around. This looks pretty aggressive. Personally running a +22 all around setup but have 9.5 fronts and 10.5 inch the rears and I'm very happy with the look (required fender rolling though). Good luck!

I was looking into that as well. I find this one guy on net that sells them in +15 and +20 offset. But I'm not sure if he has it in stock or not?

The one that we offer on ebay is non staggered, which is 19x8.5 all around. For your car the best setup 19x8.5 with +15 offset and 19x9.5 with +20 offset. The price for staggered setup is $1,500 shipped. Let me know if you are interested. To order directly, you can contact us at 310.329.8998. Thanks

Pics look good. For all interested......here is the communications I got from Spy Engineering regarding the Low offset for the 350. I think I'm going to contact North East Auto Design about the low offsets becasue the info Spy engineering is giving me contradicts what I've read. ( I think he may have just been trying to get the quick sale, and scimped on the details) Anyway, here goes.

I'm certain they are a staggered 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 set of Axis Milanos. but what are the offsets? looks to be lower than the +35 offered. I've heard rumors of an offset designed for the the 350z. Any info is appreciated as I want to order a set this week.

Thanks
Josh

When can I expect to see the LOW offset available? It's been discussed for months now. I'm just not sure the 35mm offset is the look I want. I'm sure it looks fine for the fronts, but the rear might be a little tucked

Thanks in advance

----------------------------------------------------------------

Joshua-

The low offset would only be available for the fronts if anything. The rear offset is (and has never been) an issue.

Now, to clarify... a 15/20mm offset package is coming for the 350z...? Being that these are 8.5" and 9.5" widths, is that to aggressive for a car that is dropped 1.5" inches all the way around?

Might I be better off with the 8.5 and 9.5 with a +35mm offset at all corners? how does this look compared to stock offsets?

any insight from you guys would be greatly appreciated. I've been diggin these wheels, glad to see others are finally catching on. All responses I was getting was "They belong on a luxury Sedan" I think they hold there own on the Z nicely.

again, any advice is appreciated.

I still think +25 on those sizes is optimal +/-3mm's. To me a 10mm difference is too much. I think you would be ok as far as rubbing (the front would be very close), but they may stick out a little far on the 15/20mm offsets, and the +35 is too high the wheels look tucked in too far like the ones in the picture.

I think the wheels look sweet, but I think I would push Axis to make a 22-28mm offset to accomodate the Z.

If you were to use spacers I would go with 8-10mm spacers with longer Nismo studs. Although, I think I would wait for wheels with the proper offset. I am sure it is hard to wait when you want the wheels though.

In order to get the special +15/+20 offset. You have to buy the BMW 5 series wheels, then have AXIS custom drill them for you to fit the 350z/g35 bolt pattern. It costs 20 bucks extra a wheel. I got my wheels 10 days after ordering, and I live on the east coast too. I think I'm the only one in the country with these custom offsets. When I initially ordered my wheels, 5 months ago. They told me that AXIS was currently working on a 350z offset and they didn't know when it would be released. I couldn't wait that long, so I asked if they had any other solution. THey said they could custom drill them for me, and thats exactly what I did. 5 months later, still no signs of the 350Z offset being avaliable. I'm glad I payed the extra $20 bucks to get the right offset to fit over the Brembo's.

Hey Dollar, I think we talked in brief about this before....thanks for clarifying. I know the Axis car is lowered, as is mine, and I want that same look, but my guess is they probably used spacers. Have you dropped your car with the +15/+20 setup? More importantly....any pics? Would LOVE to see them on the car.

I'm shooting for this... (old pic)

Argh, I want to order.....but I'm lowered and am unsure what offset to choose.

Will, from the pic yours look good, any other pics so maybe we could determine what offsets sit where.....in relation to the fenders. You guys made a great choice on wheels by the way.... Hopeing mine will look nice ....with the big drop and all.

I have an Eibach drop, about 1.3-1.5 inches lower. No rubbing issues with 245, 275 tires. I will try to take some pics soon. THe picture you posted of the yellow AXIS car. That car is running the custom +15, +20 offsets. The reason I know is because when they told me that the offsets weren't avaliable, I showed them a picture of that car, and they were like "Oh yeah, those are custom drilled". That is how I got mine custom drilled.
