What size/width of tire are you running front and back?

Those will look great ...now GET THEM ON ALREADY!!!

 

19x9 with 245/35
19x10.5 with 275/35

I might go larger in the rear eventually, it isn't as tight on there as i thought itwas gonna be. I will put them on tomorrow morning. Assuming that it wont take me long to get those bolts off on the front, i should have them on pretty quick

 

How in the frick do you tighten the lugs on these?? The stock lug wrench doesn't fit.

 

I assume you were talking about the hubcentric rings that might have come with the rims. Sounds like you figured them out but just in case anyone else had a question (it comes up quite a bit) they do go on the inside like these two pictures:



As far as the lug nuts I wish I knew the answer but the rims were on the car when I got it back. Either call who you got them from or call the distributor of the rims Dazz Motorsports at (626) 962-0033 and they should be able to help you out (you might mention the "Boston 350Z").

BTW those rims really look awesome! I actually wanted the J5s but they only had a full set of the J8s available in gunmetal at the time.

 

I'm assuming they sent you slimmer lugs. You have to get a slimmer socket. Also, I suggest you use a torque wrench if you don't have already. Tighten to 80 ft/lbs.

 

oh i am so jealous. those wheels are sick.

 

Yeah, i just put the hub rings around the hub before i slid the wheel on, the same thing as in the pic above pretty much. Yeah, i had to make a run out to pepboys and get a deepwell socket. THE WHEELS ARE ON! I'm gonna go take some pics right now, i apologize in advance for my car being incredibly dirty. I have off today and had planned on washing and everything but now it is raining. Be back in a couple minutes

Any requests?

 

looks nice!

welcome to the j5 family!

 

Thanks. I think they look awesome. Little more gap in the rear than i expected, but thats actually good because i will probably switch to some 295's in the spring or summer. The wheels didn't feel incredibly light either lol, but oh well.

 

Look nice, you finally got them, congrats... I'm still waiting for the J8 to get off back order. You have the Tein Springs intalleded already? Try posting some pictures of the car outside the garage.
