If anyone has any pics of these rims on a G coupe I'd be curious to see how they look.

 

Are you talkin about the Grand touring model Z? If so, its 18" x 8.0" (front) 18" x 8.5" (rear). Its not 19's all around. Specify...

 

19" rays rims or 19" nismo rims by rays on a G35 coupe...I believe they are staggered 18" Front and 19" Rear on the Z.

 

find the exact code number of the Nismo wheels. Its "LM..." somethin. Type that into search and save us all sometime. The Nismo wheels that came on the Nismo 350z are 18 in the front and 19 in the rear...kinda dumb by nissan in my opinion, putting the heaviest wheel that limits the power and 19 tires are expensive.

 

I think he is talking about the 5 spoke Rays wheels on the 350Z Grand Touring package.
I have seen pics but I can't find any now that I look, but it does look great.

Would you rather have them put 19's in the front and 18's in the rear?

 

I rather had 18's front and back, 17's would best for performace but it would look bad

 

1. NISMO LM GT4

2. For the V35 these are NOT staggered sizing, they are 19x8.5 F +25 offset, 19x9.5 R +30 offset.

 

Forgot to mention tire sizing, for 18's same as stock, for 19's recommended is

245/35/19F
275/35/19 R

Tire cost is not more than 18" - e.g. Goodyear F1's cost less than PS2's by $50 a tire, and even the Michies are only $30/tire more in a 19". They're all expensive IMHO, ~$300/tire is a lot. The F1 is just one tire available in the sizing that you cannot find in the 18" OEM sizing - there is ironically more choice in 19's given the staggered tire sizes.

Weight on the 19" NISMOs is less than my OEM '04 18" wheels, ~21 lbs per wheel. Also Rays Engineering, cannot beat that.

Picked up a set from a Nissan Dealer selling through eBay, brinster34, for $1300. Lowest I've seen was $1067, most around $1800. What other wheels of this quality can you buy in a light 19" for $325 a wheel? Answer:none, especially "none" with perfect OEM offset and sizing.

LMGT4's on JDM '04 V35 NISMO Skyline, note RHD, this is not someone's repli-car (not that there's anything wrong with that, just this is an OEM Nissan from NISMO photo shoot) -

 

Anyone have the actual staggered Grand Touring 18x9 and 19x10 350Z OEM wheels on the coupe?

 

Do you mean essentially the NISMO Z Rays? The 245/40R18 fronts, 275/35R19 rears?

After putting several thousand miles on 275/35R19 rear LMGT4's and 245/35R19 fronts, I can say I think the staggered setup would be pretty damn nice. Nothing wrong with the fronts, just the 18's are on average 3 lbs lighter, still looks good, a slightly more forgiving ride, I can see it. I'd still rather have the silver LMGT4 with my car, and 9.5 vs 10" and 8.5" vs. 9, they're lighter than the NISMO Z wheels (in the same diameters, otherwise they run 21 lbs F, 22 lbs rear). The rear NISMO Z wheels are great but substantially heaver, something closer to 26-27 lbs.

Once you go to lighter wheels, you can't go back. My Motegi Traklites on my SE-R are only 10 lbs each, forged wheels, and it makes a phenomenal difference in acceleration and handling. Same thing ditching my OEM G wheels. It feels more like you did a power and a suspension mod.

Click on the pic, I've added a slew of photos of the LMGT4's since I last posted here.

 

I was looking for the Grand Touring 5-spoke wheels.

 

...and I asked which wheels specifically you're looking for, since the only ones I know of that have been sold OEM come on the NISMO Z. If that's what you're looking for, I could probably find a pic.

But somehow I think the entire subtlety of discussing staggered sizing with OEM Rays is lost here. The thread is a request for 5-spoke Rays, LMGT4's.

You're look for these based on the sizes specified, the LMGT4's are only 8.5" wide front and 9.5" rear, not 9" and 10" in staggered 18F/19R sizing.



Good luck. The LMGT4's are better; lighter, IMHO better looking, and a staggered 18/19 setup would do well with these wheels.

Plus the availability of the OEM NISMO Z Model 5-spoke is pretty limited.

 

Yeah the OEM NISMO wheels are hot don't get me wrong, but the ones someone is offering me to trade are the regular 18/19 5-spoke wheels that came on the Grand Touring edition.

 

These? The standard 350Z Grand Touring, of course this is my '07 can't speak for the '08. <shrug>



Let me know if you want some closeups, I'll take some.
