d95gas Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Well finally managed to grab a couple of hours to myself to fit the new wheels, so thought I would just do some picture whoring Thats with the Eibach springs with a -30mm drop. Only minor issue I MAY have, and we will find out tomorrow on our little trip to the seaside.......... Rears are 35 profile Fronts are 40 profile So not sure how TRC is going to like it. Full specs are: Rears = 275/35/19 Fronts = 245/40/19 (Still have 20mm spacer fitted) Bit of kerbing on them from previous lady owner!!!!! but unfortunately thats going to have to wait until after JAE2015 as they cannot fit me in. Then I need to decide on colour, although I do like the shadow chrome. 2 Quote
Davectr Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking good there, but you need to have a look at your bonnet - the shut lines are a bit off 😄 1 Quote
d95gas Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 dam jap workmanship, I have a 10Lb lump hammer in the garage, I'll knock it into shape in the morning Quote
HEADPHONES Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looks spot on to me. Amazing how new rims transform a car Quote
d95gas Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Cheers buddy, yes its restored my passion in her, looking forward to a little punt out tomorrow. Quote
martybhoy Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 They wheels look great I think they suit a 350 more than a 370. Quote
d95gas Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 you know what...... I have to agree Quote
Richie94gts Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looks great - loving the drop, exhaust and spoiler too Quote
d95gas Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for the kind words guys...... Think they are my buy of the year Quote
d95gas Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Cheers Keyser....... Fine words from the master himself Quote
daveallen1999 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Wheels look great. Might get some myself. Quote
d95gas Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Of all the mods i have done to this car and my previous Jap cars, the wheels have smitten me most. Just really love how they totally transformed the car, and although I am biased, I do think they suit the 350 better than the 370. Spent ages trying to get a set, but they seem to get snapped up quickly. Quote
350zedd Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Looks great 19's make it look so much better and should have been fitted stock imo. I've just changed mine too...made up! Quote

Did you go for the 370 rims as well? Definately 19" seems to full the arch's really nice. Not had the chance to drive her yet to see what it handles like on 19's, to be honest dont care, just love the look Quote

Only lowered half as much as yourself, as roads around here are not that good. Quote
ZEUS Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 They look great but then I'm biased as I have a black zed with 370 wheels on too! Quote
d95gas Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 until I take mine on a good drive, I am unsure whether I will get away with the 30mm drop, time will tell...... Fortunately this year's JAE has some decent entrance roads unlike last year where we had some very dodgy roads and speed bumps. Quote

Spent ages trying to get a set, but they seem to get snapped up quickly. I wouldn't say they look better than on a 370z as I think there great wheels on the 370 More a case of make the 350z even more handsome and agressive Edited August 31, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote
