selling my wheels

I am thinking about selling my wheels on ebay since many of you have strongly hinted that they dont go with my car. LOL.

Now my question is if I get staggered 18s will the revised 350z spings lower it enough? Maybe I should just wait and get 19's? The only reason I'm considering 18's is because It feels like my 20's ARE heavy with all that chrome.

I AM GETTING THESE FROM SOMEONE ON HERE IN G35DRIVER.





I put these on late last night. I woke up this morning and found this!

get 19's! with the 350z springs drop it pretty nice and if you want the gap to be filled up just get thicker tires

I agree, I think I'll go with polished 18 rims with black spokes. But will the 350Z springs be enough or should I just get the S-tech Teins?

18's with a black center and polished lip might look too small. Something about the darker center that makes the rims look smaller than they really are. If you want looks over everything else, get 19's. Going 18's won't save you that much in weight and 19's would look better

I just found some hyperblack 19 inch ADR M-Sports in a staggered setup! The front is 8.5 and the rear is 9.5 with a 35 offset all around. I think this will work for me!

No sir not with a +35 on a 9.5 inch rim. You need +40 to +45 in the rear.

+35 on the rear will work fine. You just have to get the right tire size and run -1.5 or more camber.

Just keep in mind that you will be getting some inner tire wear with that setup.

I'm glad to see you are so infected with the bug Smoke
