Enkei Raijin fitment on 350z

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

First post on the forum as I'm just about to go and collect my 08 350z HR and one of the first things I'd like to do is change the alloys.

 

It's been a while since I've done anything with cars so I apologise in advance for the noob questions.

 

I'm looking at the Enkei Raijin as I really like the style but stuck between getting either the 18" or 19" inch versions. I prefer the 19" look and assume it will fill the arch better but also wondering if I'd have any fitment issues if I choose to lower the car later on?

 

Which alloys of this size would it still be likely that I'd need to use spacers to fit flush with the edge of the car?

 

Also, when it comes to tyres, what sizes would be limited to with the 19"?

 

Any other thoughts or input on 18" vs 19" would be welcomed.

 

Appreciate the help!

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the response. 

 

From what I can tell from Googling. This US site (https://www.proimporttuners.com/parts/2005-nissan/350z-enkei-raijin-wheels.html) seems to list the width and offsets that would fit for both the 18" and 19":

Really sorry for the stupid questions, beyond the listing of 18 and 19 how would I know which of the options is the best fit for my Zed?

 

Thanks!

It’s all within the offset really, this is 9.5” front et 22 and rears 10.5” et18, also lowered but custom distance and can’t remember how far, 

@Monkey1983 has 3dsm 10.5s front and rear with spacers and lowered and we had some problems with touching especially over bumps

Since I fitted the smaller spacers they have been spot on really , it’s so hard to get it all exactly right , like most things when messing with cars 🤣
