Grundy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Apparantly not. I've noticed this size is available on rimstyles website and it says it will fit the 350Z with brembos. it might look a little weak tho and lost in the arch, if I go for these sizes i'll end up getting spacers anyway at some point no doubt. Can't you just get the right size to remove the need for spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Trying to keep stock tyres which is whats causing the ball ache. Could always just cough up and put the rear tyres on the fronts and get wider wheels/ new tyres, it's going to ruin me financially for the month if I do that tho.

My advice would be to wait or just cripple your self for a month, either or Tyres will need changing at some point....However the wheels will be a pretty permanent purchase... Honestly, get the wider wheels, you'll be much happier for it A what if scenario - You buy these wheels, transfer over old tyres...and out of sheer bad luck....someone slashes those tyres...you'd then have to go out and buy new tyres any way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have the standard tyres on 9.5J fronts and 10.5J rears. There's not a massive amount of stretch. If you want to get your wheels asap just do that for now until you can afford new tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Streching sounds like a good plan, as long as it's safe? Last thing I want is for a tyre to come off and break my new rims. I don't really fancy being skint for another month as buying the Type R killed me last month too. It seems the more I earn the more I spend, never enough £££££ to fund my car passion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you;re aware, you may have a bit of trouble getting the bead to sit right on the tyres so may need to go somewhere with a "bead cheater/seater" to get the tyres on. That's what I had to do with mine. So which setup are you likely to go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers fella. I'm doing my head in looking over options to be honest, I just can't decide. I'm torn between rota grids and going 9.5 and 10 et20 or rota torques at 9.5 et12 all round. I prefer the grids to be honest but that wheel has been done to death on 350's. I do know I want them in bronze, that bits for sure now I'm off on saturday and will head to revolution to check out the wheels in the flesh, they stock most of the rota stuff. Might help me decide.

Grundy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I quite like the torques, nice choice if you choose them - I love grids but as you say they are a common choice... But for obvious reasons, they work and suit the car. It's only hurting your head because you want to keep your old tyres forget that and it's easy #teamtarmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowhereboy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ended up going for the grids. 18x9.5 et20 and 10 et15. The bloke in revolution said the tyre stretch is not huge and no problem. Also ordered tein springs. Booked in to get it sorted in a couple of weeks on my holiday from work. Happy days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowhereboy Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yea revolution had a good choice of rotas, was temped to go for the d2ex with the silver lip but I figured it would be a bit of a gamble so opted to play safe with the grids. Lowering slightly with the teins (only about 17mm). Ideally I'd wanted to go about 30mm but it would be a right pain the arse getting in and out my street everyday. Only concern now is that their might be a pretty heffty gap between the tyre and the arch as the tyres will be stretched a decent bit and the car isn't super low. I guess time will tell, I will be getting the correct tyre sizes in the future anyway so it's not really an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty88 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Sounds good mate, and thats the issue with lowering for me as well, dont want the problem of being 'to low' that it just cant function! Well the gap will only be as big as having the stock wheels on right? Personally the stock height is just about ok for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronC350z Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have et 15 on the front, et 5 on the rear Fronts dont pertrude massively, has a 5mm spacer to clear the front callipers. Any spacers on rear mate ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
