They work fine for winter wheels and I dont think they look bad at all (compared to steelies). Ive gone on a few long trip with the wheels on and they are nice and smooth. Never had an issue. Tread is great. I only put about 5k miles on them. The tires are Dunlop SP winters which i can gaurentee their great in the snow...I have driven in snow half way up the bumper with no issue at all.

And for those of you wanted it lowered...Thats a done deal.
Dude, I seriously appreciate the offer but I got Rotas on the way already, I was getting real desperate and found out that the stock hub bores on nissan/infiniti rims are 66.06 and the mitsu is 67.01. So I'd need to grind out about 1mm to get them to fit. Good looking out though!

@ flyinmonkey101

I currently have a 350z and in market for 11 evo... and use my stock 03 wheels as winters on my Z and after seeing this will probably keep them after I sell the Z... so can you please tell me what modifications need to be made for these wheels to fit?

Thanks

You need to grind the center so it will fit onto the center hub of the Evo. 1MM.

You will need different lug nuts, the Mitsu is 1.5 pitch, Nissan is 1.25 pitch. You need at least 30 offset to clear the brembos.

Dont quote me on this but Im almost positive a 3/4" drill bit is required to properly fit the lugs. Then I just ran to Summit Racing and bought some universal 6mm (I think?) wheel spacers to fix the above issue.

@ Kakashi... when you say grind out the center... you mean I need to shave off about 1mm of metal off center hub of 350z wheel? And if so what is the best way to accomplish that

@ flying monkey ... you used the 3/4'' bit to accomplish what exactly? so you could use same lug nuts that came stock on evo ?

I would take off the mud flaps and drop her some. That way the wheel in centered in the wheel well. Over all not to bad.

You need to use a router, the tool the use in woodworking to smooth edges, you need to buy acouple of special bits and guides, but yes, you need to grind off 1mm off the center bore to get any nissan rim to fit. As for the lug nuts, you need to use 1.5mm pitch lugs, but that doesnt necessarily mean that the bolts fit through the rim. So you might need to drill out the holes a little bit. In the end, it was all too much work, and the end of the day, you don't really know if you are hubcentric or lugcentric, or neither.

So I'm guessing I could just use stock lug nuts ... Would just have to drill out a hole to be a little bugger in the 350z rims .... And also what tools would I use shave the hub... And is it needed because lugs are too short?
