Much love for the Wheel Show ( [https://dev.z31library.com/extras_archive/www.thezenthusiast.com/wheelshow.html https://dev.z31library.com/extras_archive/www.thezenthusiast.com/wheelshow.html] ) but I know there are a bunch of sexy wheels on this forum, currently not in that link, and scattered throughout the abyss of Z31P. Pics & Descriptions only.

Heres mine

18x8 tsw thruxtons with a 225/40/z18 general exclaim tire I dont remember the offset

most of these were before the car was lowered with the tokico springs and struts

I defiantly wish i stagered it like 9.5 or something in the back also so i wouldnt need wheel spacers. night now they sit in there kind of far. It looks fine but they defiantly are anywhere near flush with fender

Hey why not, haven't seen these ones on here yet.

2008 350Z Touring V2 Wheels on Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

Front:

Size: 18x8.0

Offset: +30mm

Tire: 225/45/18

Rear:

Size: 18x8.5

Offset: +33mm

Tire: 245/45/18

They are a direct fit, spacers would be nice, but not needed. Lowering would be nice to close up the front gap. But they don't look too bad for now.

225/50/16 Bridgestone RE-01R Tires. They're Flipping awesome!!! Buy the new RE-11's that replaced the RE-01R's. You will NOT be dissapointed… well maybe with the price, but its worth it.

new setup

Rota P45R:

Front 17x9 +25

Rear 18x9.5 +20

10mm spacer font

5mm spacer rear for +15 offset all around. ***This spacer combination is not good. I have literally 1mm of clearance between the tire and the coilover. I've ordered 25mm front and 20mm rear spacers for an overall offset of 0. Should give a lot better clearance and make the wheels sit flush.***

Repainted with the duplicolor bronze. It's a nice dark, rich bronze color. should look good on the red car.

Dunlop Direzza dz101 tires.

245/40/17 front

265/35/18 rear
