X5 rims on the Z, for all those who thought it cant be done!

[chris g]

it really changes the look of the whole car - and it looks very well, i dont know that a roadster could wear that much wheel, but it makes the coupe look more muscular and gives it a stance - i like it!

cheers Woody! Yea it is rather low, I will be adjusting the front up a tiny bit at the weekend hopefully.

Well as you requested heres a pic, its the best I can do for now



Ill try and get it cleaned at the weekend and get some better pictures up

Thanks chris g, thats exactly how i see it

[mr wilks]

Not usually a black wheel fan but on the blue coupe it really works for me , tied in with the black grill its a job well done mr mikey

[cj10jeeper]

Yes - despite reservations I think they work well on the coupe now black and paired with the body colour:)

[aquazi]

I do really like them!

Although didnt think they looked all too bad in silver... But def an improvement now!

Good job! I feel fully convinced/converted. It gives the Zed a muscular 350z feel.

[fatmikey]

thanks guys glad im changing people opinions

[chris g]

do they rub at all ?

[fatmikey]

Chris the only time I get rubbing is when I hit a bit pot hole on the front wheels when driving straight as there is not much gap between the wing liner & the tread of the tyre

I try to avoid pot holes as much as possible anyway & im looking into ways of moving the arch liner further in

[Marius]

You can fit arch liner behind the bumper, this way you will gain extra 5-7mm. At the moment it fits on the top of bumpers edge. I have some pictures, will post later.

yea ive got the arch liner behind the bumper, but it still scrapes it gave quite a bit of room, but my tyres are too big really

[goon]

Did you get any rubbing problems,I am thinking of this idea myself but with standard tyre width and standard suspension,do you think it would work?

[Sausageman]

I liked them in silver.......




But I love them in black!

[Hadies]

Much better in black.

[fatmikey]

Just seen the replies as ive not been on here in ages!
I used to get a bit of rubbing on the front when i hit a large bump but that was it.

It will work even better with standard suspension. I only got rubbing as it sat so low!
