Default I'm suprised

Because the NISMO rims are listed as not for VDC 350Z's, yet you would think that they would want thier market as large as possible. And yes, I am running those recommended tire sizes. And I do not know the offsets of either wheel type, NISMO or Kazera KZ-A. Not saying you are wrong, just wonder why.

Offset numbers can be confusing. Bottom line is the Nismo's set a little farther out.

Don't quote me on this, but the Nismo's work just fine with VDC as long as you use the Nissan recommended tire sizes of 245/40–18 front and 275/40–18 rear. The diameter remains the same as the stock wheel and tire combo.

I agree Nissan should say clearly that it's OK to use Nismo wheels, Nismo S-tune suspension and Nismo sways with VDC. It "appears" to be fine with Nissan but they haven't officially announced it yet as far as I know.

My earlier comment about the offset difference is simply based on the Kazera photos in this thread and how the Nismo's are on my Z. I could be wrong, of course.

You posted them:
Rear: 18x9.5 5-114 et35 kaz kz-a with P275/40WR-18 Continental ContiExtremeContact

Front: 18x8.5 5-114 et30 kaz kz-a with P245/40WR-18 Continental ContiExtremeContact

et35 and et30. I found the Nismos offsets in a post in the wheels section of this board.

Default A follow up on tire rack

I took a bolt thru the sidewall and tread of my rear tire on Thursday, at 1030 am. Obviously unfixable. I got home at about 1130. Left a message for my salesman at Tire Rack. By 1200, talked to him, told him what happened, and he told me I had a free 1 year road hazard on the ContiExtremeContacts from Contentinal. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon Friday, UPS was dropping a new tire at my door.

That is what I call service, and I am very happy I bought at Tire Rack. Maybe other online tire sales do the same, I just have never experienced it.

I am not "hooked up" with Tire Rack in any way, just a happy customer.

Anybody tell me what the differences would be between the Kazera KZ-A vs NISMO LMGT4 wheels? The Kazera is a copy of the NISMO and sells for $850.00 for 4 vs $1800.00 for 4 on the NISMO.
In reference to this question, all I know is that when someone asks me what wheels I have on my Z I get to say NISMO!!!

Default Weight of the Kazera wheels

Tirerack shows the 18x8.5 at 25 lbs and the 18x9.5 at 27 lbs. They are heavy.
