  1. I think this was Blacky's car with 255/35 on 10" and 285/35 on 11" if that helps.
  2. I'd go for 255/35 and 285/35 with those rim widths. 245/35 with 275/35 would be okay if you are seriously lowered and going for a stanced look, if not they'll probably just look like you bought the wrong width tyres. I can't think of any reason why 40 profile would be a good choice for those wheels.
  3. It's eddymon42 here: Stock HR front grille
  4. People looking for a car may not look in that category so it could be an opportunity for someone to pick up a bargain, assuming they know what they're looking at and checking for on inspection.
  5. Terrible advert in the Wheels with Tyres category but appears to be a whole car: Nissan 350z
  6. I'm guessing they're these Zito Navarro: 4 x 19 inch black Zito wheels & CF Hood *for sale*
  7. If it was me I'd get 20mm spacers on the front and 25mm on the rear which are common sizes for the 350Z and should be easy to find. 30mm front, 35mm rear might look even better but are more tricky to find.
  8. As long as the wheels aren't causing problems with your brakes or suspension then you don't need spacers. They will certainly look 100% better if you had some spacers on there though.
  9. Definitely put the 245/40 on the back and get some new 225/40 for the front. You can't go any wider really. I'm surprised those fit due to the high offset, I assume you're running spacers front and rear?
  10. 245/40R19 is the standard size for the front on a 370Z so you could sell on the good pair?
  11. The G35 tyre sizes of 225/40R19 front with 245/40R19 rear are known to work without issues so that could be a good option. If you want wider then the sizes GMballistic suggested are the most common. It really depends on your wheel widths and offsets though.
  12. Definitely. Shame they don't do deals on the Brembo versions that often.
  13. One of the images shows a table listing compatibility with Z33 DE Grey Import which as far as I'm aware are all non-Brembo. The size of the disc is also smaller than those listed as being for the Brembo cars.
  14. Yeah Excellent price. Probably non-Brembo like you said but definitely worth it if you've a JDM.
  15. I couldn't find any when I was looking, are they similar to the genuine ones or are they available in different colours and finishes?
  16. I very much doubt you'd get away with no spacers at all. The offsets are a lot higher on 370Z Rays, 47mm outset versus 30mm on 350Z Rays. That combined along with them being 1" wider would suggest to me that clearance issues are very likely although I've not read of anyone not using spacers so can't say for sure.
  17. My friend has just bought a 2006 Quattro Sport and chipped it to around 265bhp. Whilst it seems like a great car I would choose my 350Z all day long, although I've not actually driven it. If I didn't care about how it drove then maybe my choice would be different.
  18. The 370Z Rays have a flat seat in the mounting holes so you need matching flat seat nuts. Using the usual taper seat nuts will end in disaster. No aftermarket flat nuts seem to be available so your only option is to get a set of 370Z nuts. 20mm spacers on the front will bring the wheels out to the same arch gap as the rears will have without spacers so look well balanced, and also clear the Brembo calipers.
  19. I love it, fantastic buy (hopefully!). Was thinking about one of these as a good investment and alternative to a 370Z but I'm not sure it's a great choice as a daily driver. Maybe I'm wrong!? I like purple, looks great to me. I'd much rather have that than black or silver on a TVR. I'm sure all the attention and positive comments will soon outweigh the doubters. If you personally think the purple is too light you could paint the wheels grey which might have the effect of giving the impression of a darker car.
  20. Wow, that went back up quickly! I've noticed Amazon do that sometimes.
  21. These are back down to less than £20 per disc. I'm still waiting for a good deal on the rear ones.
  22. I think the Nissan badge is just held on with a couple of plastic welds which can be drilled out from the back. Then you'll just need some suitable glue to reattach afterwards. I think most places charge extra to paint the caps so just getting new caps the right colour might not be too bad cost wise in comparison. The recessed black Nissan wording has faded or flaked off on some of my spare caps, presumably others have the same issue. New caps would obviously look better than that too.
  23. Off the top of my head I think 350Z Rays centre caps are bigger, around 58mm but the standard UK 18" wheels are 54mm which is similar to 370Z Rays and Juke. This is just the outside diameter though, the inside clip diameter may well be different. I have no idea what GT4 wheels use as they are rarer.
  24. Juke centre caps apparently fit 370Z wheels which have 54-55mm diameter caps and come in different colours. Probably worth asking your local Nissan dealer if yours are a similar size.
  25. I don't think they're known for corrosion, I've just seen how quickly polished lips and multi-piece wheels can deteriorate in winter when not cared for diligently! I don't have the time or inclination to be polishing wheels as I don't run a show car but there are plenty of people who do. If you look after your wheels as Tarmac suggests then I'm sure you'll be fine.
