Car looks good , I think the bronze would look better with a Black Z, I think the factory wheels look better overall... I have a 17 white Nizzo myself ...I'm hot and cold changing mine , big rim shop in Norfolk Va. I may take a ride.
I think it looks great how it is now! Doesn't need to be lower. But I'm just thinking practically. Lowered looks great for pictures and a smooth track, but I've seen too many fails even with slightly lowered personally.
it looks so good and so clean now all you need to do is lower it a little more and it will be like the perfect combo of a little bit of ricer but your car is still clean so u can use it as a daily
The pretend flares are ok, just need the wheels pushed out a bit so it doesnt look tucked when you drop it. Unfortunately you will have to roll or cut the piece that rubs
As others have said, needs more low. Get some Eibach lowering springs or if you want to, some nice coilovers. Wheels look great though. Also get rid of the fender flares. It will look a lot better.
Car looks perfect, height wise. Love the wheels. But, the unsprung weight penalty would drive me nuts. 10-12 pounds is quite a hit when centrifugal forces are brought into the equation.
Mario M True about the weight. And rolling diameter is actually more detrimental to performance then weight. But these are for daily use, hard to tell a difference. The stock ones are my track set now.
When using your torque wrench, do not go over the clicking point as you do right now because you are putting way more torque on the bolts. As soon as the wrench clicks, it has reach its preset torque, if you then keep torquing, the wrench will just keep going.
Thanks. I've got the 2017 370Z Nismo in black. Just upgraded to Stillen Gen 3 with Michelin 4S 305's off the stock 285's rear, which honestly, look better than the Vossens IMO? . I do appreciate you tuning me into the AAM test tubes with resonators - just ordered them yesterday. Shame the Wild Child is in the garage here in snowy Canada...but exhaust wise, "I'm cleanin" out my closet"....
Honestly, do whatever makes you happy and you can't go wrong. I would lower it, but only a very very small amount. It would be super easy to over do it and make it look very very bad. But looks are subjective - I prefer the look of the stock wheels - so just do whatever you want with it lol.
Personally wouldn't have altered a Nismo Z, the components (such as the fender flares) are there for a reason. If the offset and widths aren't the same then the dynamics of the car will now be out of spec.....the beginning of a very long road just to get it back to as good as it was..... But ultimately it's your car. :)
Would love to see some shots in that last half hour of the day with sunlight hitting 'em! Find a high point + 100-200mm Focal length zoom. Looks sweet man! I'm never rockin 20's since Pilot super sports are already $1250 for 19" 255/285 combo :-(...
Hey, up till now I followed all your mods om my 2017 nismo (except the AAM exhaust as it costs twice as much when shipping them to europe and I'm a bit afraid of the drone - I use my car as daily driver - but I'm still thinking about it because I love the exterior sound). However, I' m not gonna follow you with the wheels. I prefer the stock model. Nothing to do with handling or weight... not driving it on track you never get close to the limits, so weight is only factor for the bar talk :). The stock wheels, especially with the standard extras trim looks more aggressive. Keep those video's coming....
I would definitely have light weight wheels. I also dont carry spare wheel in the trunk either. Pretty much im fucked if one of the 4 wheels ran over a nail. Ohhh well! Risk to take. You should twin turbos it.
I have a pearl white 370z and almost got some black wheels but I’m skeptical that it won’t look as clean. For one I’m not a huge fan of the white on black. Pretty typical on a lot of white cars but idk what to look at rn. I’m. Im not fan of a lot of silver wheels but probably a better option then the black
Chad Franks The wheels are a bit taller than stock. So currently I do have more ground clearance than stock. So if I lower it a bit to remove the wheel gap. The ground clear will only be slightly less than stock.
I love the staggered style.. that back wheel..omg..❤️😱😱❤️ becarefull with bumbs and high sidewalks😎🙏 i.do agree on you. The bronze on a white car looks awesome!! Im jealous haha.. is t bigger actually then the old wheels? I cannot tell so easely.. i do have to like better with the fenderflares to be honest..😉
I think it looks great but stock ones look good too. But PLEASE don't roll the arches and lower it . You will regret it and can't put it back to stock to sell. I made the mistake with my s2k.
JDM CJM The car stock already has 'rolled' flares. The actual body work won't touch the wheels. I'm definitely not doing anything that can't be reversed
bro you put the wrong rear wheels on the wrong side... the tires are directional lmao. That means theyre designed to only face one way. *EDIT* looks like you realized it on/ before the test drive because after i can see theyre on correctly.
Looks gtreat and dont lower it to much because that is your dailey so having to be so aware sucks because you cannot enjoy your car so make it litte low but not to much.😁💎
Gurbachan Bhullar I would only be lowering around an inch. And since these wheels are taller than stock. My ground clearance won't end up changing much when I remove the wheel gap. I'm definitely not going for the 'static' lifestyle lol
I use to sell wheels for rent a wheel and since I'm very educated with cars I see these people and I shake my head cause the wheels are basically either same weight or heavier and I was lucky to change positions to tech position because if they see you sell your out of a job
Anonymous I was looking at a set in gunmetal. But I couldn't see spending this money on a wheel that would look similar to stock. I wanted something way different.
Why would you make a video about new wheels and tires and not post the specs including offsets and wheel brand/model/colour in the video description???
Well this wasn't exactly a review of them. Just getting them on. But I've updated the description with that info ;) Vossen x Work VWS-3: F: 20x10 +25 R: 20x12 +20 Nitto Tires: F: 255/35 R: 305/30
more weight in wheels will slow down acceleration. i don't like the stock wheels but they look better then the new ones. i like the wheels from the 2013-14 nismo. oh and by the way get the car up to 80-100mph i bet you have a shimmy in the ride. your going to need wheel centering rings. its a plastic piece that goes on the wheel hub lip. a lot of people don't know this and keep chasing a high speed balance problem and your balance is good on the rims and tires its because the after mkt rims fit the bolt pattern but don't fit the hub perfect. tires.tirerack.com/tires/Wheel%20Centering%20Rings "What are these plastic (or metal) rings that came with my wheels?" "Why didn't my wheels come with hub centric centering rings?" The terms "hub centric" and "lug centric" describe the method used to center a wheel on a vehicle's hub to prevent vibration. Most Original Equipment wheels are built with the same centerbore diameter as the hub diameter on the vehicle so the wheel is centered as soon as it's sitting on the studs or the hub. Vehicles have many different hub diameters (or hub bores), therefore aftermarket wheel manufacturers generally make wheels with a large centerbore so the wheel will go on many types of applications. They either use a centering ring or conical seat lug hardware to center the wheel on the hub. Thank me later for this info.
Yeaa stock looked way better
No way white and bronze are sexy, those stock rays are hideous
Bobby Mendoza you are so correct.
Gurbachan Bhullar it just needs 1 1/2 inch drop and it will look money!
True. But thats his dailey so it would be hard to get to places.
Gurbachan Bhullar my z is dropped almost 2inches with a lip not my daily but I drive it church couple days to work
Rims on the car look sweet. No flares
Idk why I was digging the stock wheels more but in the end you need to make it your own. I say lower it just a bit
NO FLARESSSSS!!!! It look now on point and really Flush!!!! 😊👍
Also, a nice set of eibach springs or H&R will give you a perfect wheel gap. 👍
Car looks good , I think the bronze would look better with a Black Z, I think the factory wheels look better overall... I have a 17 white Nizzo myself ...I'm hot and cold changing mine , big rim shop in Norfolk Va. I may take a ride.
I think it looks great how it is now! Doesn't need to be lower. But I'm just thinking practically. Lowered looks great for pictures and a smooth track, but I've seen too many fails even with slightly lowered personally.
Without fender fence , your Z looks much cleaner and may I say "timeless " !!! Very nice wheels btw !!!
it looks so good and so clean now all you need to do is lower it a little more and it will be like the perfect combo of a little bit of ricer but your car is still clean so u can use it as a daily
Make sure you get an alignment ! Single directional wheel you can’t do normal tire rotation to correct uneven wear
Stock looked better my dude....and with the weight reduction it's a no brainier :(
Paul Dietz knowing that it’s bigger then stock
He's gonna have to get the Z1 two piece rotors to make up for the weight increase $950 for a set, but they are track worthy!
Oh god yah heavy af
Z1 two piece rotors will save you 20lbs up front / 10 on the rear, and if you're going to do track days, you're gonna want them anyways! I love mine!
Roll the fenders and get some lowering springs you'll get that perfect daily driver fitment.
With Flares for sure !!
I love both setups, and keep flares.
The pretend flares are ok, just need the wheels pushed out a bit so it doesnt look tucked when you drop it. Unfortunately you will have to roll or cut the piece that rubs

A good set of Swift Springs would do it some justice and keep your performance without killing the bank. No flares btw.
The height is perfect don't lower it or raise it but please put those fender flares back on!!! It really looks so much better with them.
When using your torque wrench, do not go over the clicking point as you do right now because you are putting way more torque on the bolts. As soon as the wrench clicks, it has reach its preset torque, if you then keep torquing, the wrench will just keep going.
NEEDS MORE LOW...
Deifinitely
I believe the flares are designed on the NISMO for aero dynamics and not just for looks- Keep the flares
they look nice, however i think stock looks better,---- but do what makes you happy-- bring the FLARES back, looks better..
Did u buy a set of TPMS sensor and installed them in ur tires?
And did you not need centric bore ring?

SLAM THE Z BRO!
The bronze doesn't look good on white. It would look better o a black one. Red would've made it look wild.
I think it'll look better on a non cloudy day; mornings/evenings when the light can hit them from the side.
Z looks great bro ! keep it up.
Like the new wheels a lot! Looks cleaner without the flares but dropping it would be even better.
Thanks! Newest vids show the new ride height!
Honestly, do whatever makes you happy and you can't go wrong. I would lower it, but only a very very small amount. It would be super easy to over do it and make it look very very bad. But looks are subjective - I prefer the look of the stock wheels - so just do whatever you want with it lol.
Those wheels look so good bro 👌🏽 We must ride out sometime
You need to upload the picture at the very end asap... looks marvelous
Emre Yildirim I posted that pic on Instagram the day before the vid went live :)
Yeah, can't beat the Volk wheels. If they had the bronze finish on the stock wheel; that would be sick

Nissan does a great job with their stock wheels but, personally I like the new ones best!
What tires do u have?
stock wheels nicer but do your thing mate. Bit lower required. keep up the good work!
1 inch less gap would be clean
th-cam.com/video/9U2PzY75OSI/w-d-xo.html
That's exactly what I did ;)
If ur z was black it would match
Vlad Vlogs your right.

keep the finder flayers they look good!
are those vossen wheels forged?
My dream car. Thanks for sharing... always enjoy watching your vids about the Z.
i like the rims.
Modify the flares and put em back.
I would definitely have light weight wheels. I also dont carry spare wheel in the trunk either. Pretty much im fucked if one of the 4 wheels ran over a nail. Ohhh well! Risk to take. You should twin turbos it.

i like it! just a slight drop and it will be perfect
What size are those ??
What size rims are they
nice wheels, I don't personally like that look, but it looks nice. I like the flairs though!
never mind I take it back it looks nice. at 10:49 when you showed the car again, it looks clean bro
socksamazingchannel Thanks lol! I have a few pics on Instagram so far
Bigger wheels means sitting higher, harder ride, heavier steering, color doesnt go. Keep fenders on,
Lower it homie. Just enough for ground clearance. Until you put it on bags. Gorgeous whip tho!
Holy heavy rims batman!!
what are the offsets? and specs on the tires?
Jeric Espinoza R. 20x12 +20. 305-30. F. 20x10 +25. 255-20.
Hey, do you have a mesh grill? where can I buy one please tell me
I never changed the grille in the Z's. So i don't really know
Wheels look sweet, love the brone on bronze lip, really JDM Great job
Bobby Mendoza Thanks!
Wheels size 20" or 19"?
Lower it and keep the flares
Put the flares back on and lower the ride dogg.
BC BR coils PLEASE. Too much gap dude haha
Sweet but u should b using a torque stick....
Everyone saying stock wheels look better? I strongly disagree they look awesome and it's your car.
Maybe I missed it but what's the rim and tire size?

Wow she looks really good with 20" rims even without a drop.
Are they casted or forged?
Looks better without the flared arches
Definitely put the fender flares back on. They looked good! I say lower it a tad bit. Not to where you have to worry about scraping since its a daily.
Those wheels look soooooo NICE!!
OMG these are fire...Just lower it a bit
New wheels look good sans wheel well flares.
I love the staggered style.. that back wheel..omg..❤️😱😱❤️ becarefull with bumbs and high sidewalks😎🙏 i.do agree on you. The bronze on a white car looks awesome!!

JDM CJM The car stock already has 'rolled' flares. The actual body work won't touch the wheels. I'm definitely not doing anything that can't be reversed
Stock wheel looks way better and lighter. Dont kill performance and looks
when the torque wrench clicks... you dont push farther, LOL
Yeh I had it set to low at that part lol
bro you put the wrong rear wheels on the wrong side... the tires are directional lmao. That means theyre designed to only face one way. *EDIT* looks like you realized it on/ before the test drive because after i can see theyre on correctly.
amen!
Haha I saw it too, was thinking wtf is he doing really
FENDER FLARES BRO
Looks better stock.
You need swift springs.. are you on the370z.com.. I feel like I’ve seen those exact wheels up for sale from a guy in New York...
What’s the wheel set up ?
Vossen VWS 3. 20x12. 20x10.5
Looks gtreat and dont lower it to much because that is your dailey so having to be so aware sucks because you cannot enjoy your car so make it litte low but not to much.😁💎

Bronze seems out of place w the white, black and red....I'd have gone all black. Def need to lower it.
think it looks great like it is
With flares looks better
Damn, those stock rims really made the car stand out. Now it looks.. whatever.
Needs lowered
no fender flairs and get coilovers.
When you're done with the fender flares, I'll buy the rears ones off you!!
I use to sell wheels for rent a wheel and since I'm very educated with cars I see these people and I shake my head cause the wheels are basically either same weight or heavier and I was lucky to change positions to tech position because if they see you sell your out of a job
Thats fine, it looks cool bro
Needs swift springs
You should have got black Vossen wheels...

@@cotes42 Glad you enjoy it! Are you looking for some wheels?
those are the kind of wheels you will put on a G37 or Q50 not on a NIsmo z ... you need light weight wheels !
Drop it like an inch or inch and a half :)

never sit with your legs under the car lol
I had jack stands under it. So it's fine
