FYI I am assuming you want these to fit a sedan? It will be a challenge to try and get the 370z 19"s to fit the rears as they are a 9.5 +15. Ur car will need to be massively lowered, stretched tires and also a fair bit of camber dialled in. For a coupe it will be fine.

Hah! Good luck with 10 +15. I'm running 10+43 at the rears and they are already sticking out by about 7mm with a mild drop. Not saying it can't be done but as a daily driver it ain't worth the hassle.

This is what 8.5 +0 and 9.5 +10 looks like.

What you willing to pay? i have the stock V35 18s off my coupe some gutter rash from previous car owner but it is fixable i have been told. im in NSW also so you would prob have to have them shipped, has Kumho rubber on them lots of tread left.

Thanks.

I'm quite newbie with wheels. Had a feel 19x10+15 would be quite hard to fit in under any car especially the front!

Ok so here is pics of my wheels. you can see the gutter rash on them, I was told 2 would just need to be machined and 2 need some filler and a machine, so i went a bit over with all the pics but i want ppl to know what they are buying, i have been told that its fixable by a tyre shop and there seams to be lots of tread left on the Kumhos you can see tyre size and brand in the pics also.

It wont let me edit the above post so ill add this also, im looking for something around 600-700 mark, i had a quote for the tyres for new ones and to get the same it was around 1.2k for all 4 i know the rims are damaged but they are easly repairable for around $300 so i think between 600-700 is a fair price, if i am wrong please let me know im just going off what i have seen sell in the forums before.

I think you're probabaly pretty close to the mark with your sale price :thumbsup: especially with good rubber, they have very minimal damage.. I bought a set to use on my Stagea that were more damaged than these for $350 without usable rubber.

The thing to remember with the Shadow Chrome finish, is the paint itself is over $200 per litre, and requires multiple coats. It also requires all four rims to be painted at the same time. It starts with a black base coat and is built up with the Shadow Chrome finish; getting progressively lighter with each coat. I had quotes of $250 per wheel for this finish.

You'll pay around $600 for refurbishment and a good 2pack paint job; this will stand up to anything you can throw at them.

Another way to go is powdercoat; from around $50 per wheel and you can get pearl & metallic colours (they do cost more).

Not trying to tread on your toes; just sharing my experience. I really wanted the Shadow Chrome, but ended up with Toyota "Tungsten" on mine; looks really nice.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
