jujun Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Hi guys, if I may trouble yous, can you tell me from your experiences whether these wheels clear my standard brakes? My 350z is the 06 revup model still with standard suspension. The 9.5 is for the front and 10.5 is for the rear. Tyre wise, I'm not really sure what to get. http://www.driftworks.com/jr-wheels-jr5-18x9-5-et38-5x100-5x114-3-hyper-black.html http://www.driftworks.com/jr-wheels-jr5-18x10-5-et12-5x114-3-hyper-black.html Thanks ever so much in advance!

ZMANALEX Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 If you tell DW what car you are fitting them to, they will advise. However best to get wheels with acceptable ET so that you do not have to fit spacers. Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 You could speak to Tarmac sportz, he sells Jr wheels and knows the 350 well, any issues and he will help. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I believe that it is a prerequisite that you provide DW the car details so that they supply you with wheels that fit. Edited March 31, 2016 by ZMANALEX Quote
Grundy Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I believe that it is a requisite that you provide DW the car details so that they supply you with wheels that fit. You'd hope, but in the past their Customer Service skills were shocking. I think you'll need spacers on the front. But all depends on the offsets you go. As Jetpilot said, speak to Tarmac as he's sold a lot of sets to 350z Owners. 1 Quote

docwra Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) OK, so their customer service is "shocking" and youre happy to tell the world .......... except it was only one guy and he has now left the company. Bit harsh dont you think? Edited March 31, 2016 by docwra Quote
cs2000 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) This is a quote from a PM I had with tarmac the other day. I have ordered a set or JR wheels in the fitment he advised to clear the Brembo calipers, and sit closer to the arch without the need for spacers. 18x9.5 ET30 front 18x10.5 ET22 Rear is what we want for the Brembo Z Edited March 31, 2016 by cs2000 1 Quote

Chris from Tarmac emailed me back with advised 18x10,5 et12 & 18x9.5 et22 for the jr5 with 5mm spacers included. I'm gonna take him up on that offer Quote

I was originally after the Varstoen ES3 wheels, and the JR5's are basically copies, the JR11's (my previous selection) are close, but not the same. Apparently we are both guinea pigs for fitment Edited March 31, 2016 by cs2000 Quote
