350 Russ Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 out of interest would the 370 19" rays fit the 350? how much would they be for a set. im expecting nissan prices to be in excess of 2K without tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Tarmac sells these. If gtr 20's fit then I'm sure 370 wheels will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I had the same thought russ as I loved the 370 wheels. Asked at the local Nissan dealer out of interest and nearly had to be carried out after I fainted. I believe just the alloys were well over 1k per corner....they are nice but not that nice.

Ebized Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 No question they fit a 350 but the offsets are quite different and I suspect you would need to play around with spacers. Although they might look good, if you don't get the set up right they could ruin the handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If anything the 370z sizes will improve handling Col - they are wider than the OEM rays on the 350z, more like the sizes of the Nismos. Definately needs spacers though. They do look quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Even nicer when not in black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 They look very small on the 350z. Are you sure they aren't 18's? I assumed the op was talking about the nismo rays. My error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hmm, dont think they are 18s. Let me check, maybe they are in the States ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Because they are wider does not mean it will improve the handling though. The standard set-up of the 350 is what makes the ZED such a great drivers car and if you go wider the balance on the throttle will be affected - they might make the car stick more in the bends but when it does start to let go it is likely to be more sudden than progressive. Although I use spacers on the 370 that is purely for looks and if it was solely about handling I would not have them on. Just my 2-pennies worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 True Colin, my point was more that they are close to the 350z Nismo wheels so should make for pretty tidy handling. I ran rims almost as wide as the 370z Rays on my 350z and it made the handling much better. When I went back to the OEM Rays it felt very skittish. Or did you find the Nismo's on your 350z deadened the handling a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you find the Nismo's on your 350z deadened the handling a bit? My nismo's feel great on track and as good as the 18" rays. Tyres are too expensive which is the only downfall. You don't need tyres that wide on track. 18's are perfect width. If alex can put over 600hp through them then a standard zed will have no issues. Like any wheel/tyre combo they don't come to life until you have warmed the tyres upto temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I found the 19" nismos with the 452 falkens a cracking combo in the handling department and of course they look so good hence the price they command s/h. They came from Big Phil who we all had great respect for and the tyre profiles he advised certainly worked well. They were in a different league of course to the 040 Stones that I had on the Rays - really no comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Iv got two spare 19" silver RAYS in garage. These are from an insurance job (non fault claim!) and have minor damage. The insurers told me they wheels cost £1500-£1600 each new, without tyre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
