thats great yes would like to see i have used cheap aftermarket wheels in the past on other cars but what seem to buckle if i used at 350 wheel is would be well made unlike most after market junk

The 350z wheels look amazing on the zed make them look meaner we had the standard 350 wheels on sadly not the rays version of the 350 gt

its the ray i wanted there staggered. are all 350 wheels staggered

I think all 350 wheels are staggerd not quite sure tbh the only difference between the rays and standards I know off is the rays have a slight dish on them and are significantly lighter

how does the 300 ride on 18ich wheels with lower profile it the ridw harsh ? does i t make the car pull all over the road due to the low profiles ?

You have several options and variants of 350z wheels, some will fit a lot more aggressively than others so be careful what you're choosing. What wheels do you have in mind?

They are my favs, Philp has those on his gorgeous black Z that looks similar to this:

cars ride was perfect no problems at all with them only reason we got rid of them is because we fitted a set of 19 inch wheels. They are now on keith (kjz32) blue zed, and my dad was out in it with Keith yesterday, car handled very well. I am sure Keith will comment with his thoughts when he sees this thread.

What wheel and suspension setup have you got currently?

on cars in the past when i went up to 18inch wheels thay always tramlined and woud pull on uneven roads. how do the 19 feels

all stock

same as the 18s never noticed a problem

 

all stock

 

Ok, so assuming the ride height is stock and the springs haven't sagged, when you fit 18's it is likely to look a bit like a 4x4! I would recommend accompanying the addition of 18's with lowering springs at the very least.

 

This is likely to change the ride comfort (maybe more so than the wheels) but depending on what you go for it can still be perfectly comfortable. The decreased profile of the tyre wall will further add to this 'change' in ride quality and you should only notice a slight increase in tramlining (due to the increased width) assuming your geometry is all correct.

 

I don't believe it will ruin the ride quality but it will make it more taught, imo the difference in handling and looks makes it very worthwhile. I would suggest, do your research, ask plenty of questions first and choose your parts carefully to suit your needs.

do you have stock spring and damper on your car ?

be intresting to see a car with 18s on stock springs ,didnt even think about having to lower it

If you're set on getting that style of wheel (which I think is a good idea) then just go for it and try them on. Springs tend to sag over time, naturally lowering the car, but this situation is not ideal for handling so would be advisable to renew anyway. I would recommend Eibach springs as the most comfortable springs available for the z32 if that's important to you.

up to now yes stock springs and dampers however they will be replaced as we have got the meister r coilovers that will be will be getting fitted

seems to look fine on stock springs like

they are

just ask cus of what joey p said about it looking like a 4x4 but dont look to high from your pics tho
