Sockeye Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Just for the google record. The 350z 18 inch wheels fit well and look good. Will order hub centering rings for $25 for the sake of technical perfection, and getting the blank central caps in 54/50mm size appears to be a chor, but otherwise a very good option. A good set of Nissan take offs could be had for a killer deal. I got mine with staggered tyre option. 245/40/18 rear and 225/45/18 front. Yoko advan sport with 5k on them:-). Seems to be working very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Should be 245/45 on the rear. Will fill the fenders more. Did you get hub rings to hepl fit it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockeye Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 245/45 for the rear sounds like the right idea. Hm, maybe next set of tyres in that size. What about front ones? Would 245/45 work well up front? I ordered the aluminum rings from UK. Yet to arrive. Driving without rings for now. No issues, really.

ldc Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 225/45 and 245/45 were stock tyres for the wheels. I think 40 looks too thin. 45 help fill the guards. I heard aluminium rings sticks to the hub, ebay sells 66.1 polycarbonate ones for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockeye Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I heard that too. However, there must be a lot of heat applied to make the aluminium and steel bond together to the point of diffusion. If such thing is possible at all .

Sockeye Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 28 something dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 So you got them for free in other words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockeye Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Heh, I thought you were referring to centering rings. The set of wheels sure didn't cost 28 bucks. Not that lucky. It cost me less than $500. I was quite happy with the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
