SUPRAWOOKIE Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Hi All I'm looking at getting some Rota Grid Drifts for the 350z but i'm struggling with finding the right offset etc. I'm after the deepest concave available, I don't want a lip on the rear wheels and I'd like to know the biggest width a 350z can take without rubbing. My rear arches have already been rolled and the car is due to go onto coilovers. I'm still not settled on 18 or 19 inch so if anyone has any these fitted it would be good to see some pics and the wheel specs. Cheers! Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 19x9.5 Front /19x10.5 Rear ET20 on both suit the zed well, fills the arches etc 1 Quote
Scott TMN Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 If you want the deepest concave then you want the 18" in 10j. As above et 20. 10.5j in 19" will have have a dish instead 1 Quote
Payco Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Wouldn't go 18 myself, go 19.. 10.5j in 19 as above maybe.. Just giving you other options by posting mine as you wanted pics... Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I'm terrible with computers ..... But if someone would be kind enough to link my thread from the pics " knight blue zed " it has the exact wheels you're after in the 20 offset , bought from tarmac who I would recommend to buy from Quote

Payco Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Most members on here who have modded have gone to 19's. 18's for go, 19's for show. The ride isn't a lot different in my experience, maybe a little harder but that can depend on tyre pressures for a start.. Edited May 26, 2015 by Payco 1 Quote
SUPRAWOOKIE Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 I'm more tempted to go with 19's, its seems to suit the car better but I want to see some 350's with them on so I can be sure. Quote
Pete87 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Have a look at my build thread I've got 19"x9" ET 20 fronts and 19"x10.5" ET 20 rears with 20mm rear spacers. The build thread is the dark knight http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69978-the-dark-knights-build-thread/page__hl__%2Bdark+%2Bknight Edited May 26, 2015 by Pete87 Quote
GMballistic Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 How is the ride on 19s? I've heard it's not nice at all I've heard that said by a few but imo it's total rubbish. I went from 18" Rays on my Zed to 19" Rota Grids and I personally felt nothing negative, ...in fact I actually felt like it improved the car. Yes they are heavier alloys/tyres than the Rays but it's no different than when you take a passenger on board, ...it's not like you'll notice a difference in performance then. If I was taking my car on the drag strip then maybe I would lose a few tenths or more but for daily driving I believe the 19's to be just as good if not better than the 18's. All just my opinion though. Quote

GMballistic Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Let's see your fitment Front 9.5J ET20 with 245/35/19" Rear 10.5J ET20 with 275/35/19" Very happy with them. Bought from Mitz@the cougar store. Quote

GMballistic Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Looks really good. You running spacers and coilovers also? No spacers at all and still on the standard Nissan suspension set up (bar some SuperPro bushes). 1 Quote
SUPRAWOOKIE Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 I think I'm going to go for 19 9.5J et20 all round. These are exactly the look I want on the front, anyone seen this setup on the rear? Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Looks really good. You running spacers and coilovers also? No spacers at all and still on the standard Nissan suspension set up (bar some SuperPro bushes). But he needs some lows They are a great wheel for the money Quote

Pete87 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I think 9.5" all round will look abit weak the rears will be well inside the arch unless you run spacers aswell. Quote

Bling colour , you can't run bling wheel colour , plain but classy IMO . Quote
StevoD Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 19x9.5 Front /19x10.5 Rear ET20 on both suit the zed well, fills the arches etc Perfect set up this 1 Quote

Crazy to run same all round , won't look right , unless you run a spacer on the rear ...... But don't see the point really , 9.5 front 10.5 rear Quote
