"Caution Brembos" Alloy Fitting Advice

[cmr1991]

Hi chaps...

 

I am looking at these alloys to buy :

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-BLACK-CSL-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-LEXUS-GS300-/271019486354?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item3f1a052c92

 

as you can see it says "

NISSAN 350 Z 02 > ( CAUTION BREMBOS )"

 

and then it goes onto say I need a "hub kit"

 

Anyidea what hub in particular? will 25mm wheel spacers suffice?

 

regards

Just buy wheels that fit and don't need spacers

The offsets are weak for a 350z and in their standard guise they might not clear the Brembos, a 25mm spacer will help as it will bring the offsets down to 15...

FWIW...had same thoughts.

Buy 19s in my price bracket but need spacers to clear brembos.

OR

settle on 18s , correct fitment, no spacers, but no hassles.

 

Chose the second option.

Have had too many problems previously with tyres touching, needing spacers, etc , etc.

 

BUT

 

Its up to you.

The price isnt an issue, I just liked the wheels and was wondering how to go about the hubcentric kit thing they mentioned.. if spacers would be fine or not.

 

No doubt I can find some which are pretty simular, 19s, that fit correctly.

 

I was planning on using spacers to push the wheels out into the arches anyway.

 

Thanks for the advice folks.

If you can source a set with right ET, then they will sit out far enough...no need for spaces.

And if cash isn't an issue...this would be your best bet.

Just goggle 350z BBS alloys .

Varrstoen do a similar style, I supply them. They are around double the price but least you know the quality and fitment is right.

thanks for the website... but wheels on finance... people actually do that? lol

[370Ad]

You really want between ET20 and ET30 for the Z as an every day car

[LRF4N]

Google 3SDM 0.01. Iv got a set of these going on my skyline this week, courtesy of CS on here. He gave me a great deal on 18s I'm sure they would have 19s suitable for a zed. Worth a PM to CS

Really like these!

I'd like to see what the wheels the OP posted would look like on our cars. With correct offset of course

[cmr1991]

Brothers,

 

Will 5x114 et45 fit with brembos?

Brothers,

 

Will 5x114 et45 fit with brembos?

 

What's the width of the wheels, 45 is a very weak offset for the 350z, this may not clear the Brembos...

[LRF4N]

Mitz what widths/offsets are the 3sdm wheels available in 19s?

 

Here's how they look on mine

 

(yes I'm a pic whore.......and proud)

Only 8j

 

With some 25mm rear spacers and 20mm front spacers should clear them, and look better in the arches than standard?

Not really there a weaker size and offset than the standard wheels

[Sarnie]

8j +45 !?!?!?!?!?

 

 

 

There is someone selling some lovely Volks TE37's in proper sizes and offsets for £1,250..................BUY THEM INSTEAD OF CRAPPY EBAY TRASH!!

[lmc]

Or just buy mine

I dont Care where the wheels are from. If I like them and they fit, im happy. Which is why I am asking for advice.

 

But at the same time, I cant really justify spending a few K on a nice set of BBS wheels when the Z is a car im keeping for 6 months to potter about in.

 

thanks for the help so far.

Could this be the first person not to catch Zeditus? I guess we'll find out after he's bought his first mod... I'm betting we see you at Wales next year.
