kind of off topic here, but
I have 06 coupe with oem 19" wheels. I am planning on getting new bearings, brake kit and wheels.
My wife has 04 350z.

can I put my 19" on hers without spacer or fender work?

and what you guys do to your oem wheels? ( trash/ sell???)

and also, any reasonable priced shop with good reputation in Lowell area? I will need to get the brake and bearings done, and engine mod in future.

Thank you!

 

To be flush they will need spacers, you could prolly get away with 25mm spacers if shes lowered a little if not do like 20mm and you shouldnt need to do any fender work.
most coupe guys sell thr 19's for $500-900 depending on condition and if they come with tires or not.

 

but for 20 mm spacer, I will have to install extended studs.
still pain...

( hers' totally stock with 17")

 

lots of spacers come with studs on them. check out ichiba 20mm hubcentric spacers.

If your 19'' rays are in good condition (or if you live in soCal) they will sell quickly in the marketplace, but you will need to post more before you can list them.

 

Just throw the 19's on her car, they will look better than her 17's, then invest in some 25mm spacers and a minimal drop, .5inch-1inch

 

It will give the 350z a whole new look. Your wife should love it. Who doesnt love bigger than stock rims lol. But listen to ^ guys and get the spacers. You will need it if you plan on leaving your 19s on her 350z otherwise your looking at sum tucked in wheels. Do post photos also. I do wanna see how the 350z looks with the g 19's

 

lol@trashing OEM wheels

 

if you wanna trash em, feel free to do so at my house.....

 

hey Bro.. Just wanted to help you out... Look at the link, I found ur answer.. I also saw a Orange 350Z with 19" Rays without spacers, it looks pretty clean on stock suspension.. But here you go - 350Z on G35 19" Rays

 

^ that looks good

 

I had g35 18s on my Z with a 1/2 in drop and no spacers. I say put on the 19s and see how she likes it, imo you won't really notice how tucked the wheels are on stock suspension.

Few pics of my old Z

you should just sell them to me on the cheap

 

thanks guy, if spacer is not needed, I will throw my 19" on the 350z.( I don;t want to spend extra money on hers.)

I still like my 19", ray's light weight and good tire grid.

I will trash her 17".

 

There's a red Z here with black 19" G35 Rays. Alpharetta, GA. Wonder if he has a gallery.

 

+1 keep the rays. And keep or sell teh 17s, somebody still wants/need em..
