Yeah that's correct if you put the RCA kit on stock height you will lower it 1 inch in the front & rear. And the ride quality shouldn't change at all.

Thanks bro, but I didn't really wanted to spend a lot on wheels since I'm getting a ISF in June but I wanted to put the LS brakes on so I got the 370z wheels for 1k with tires.

Hate to resurrect the tread but it's a PITA finding tuner lugs for these wheels. You have PM & just incase anyone else out there is thinking about getting a set of 370z wheels it would be helpful if you can share where you got the tuner lugs from & the specs on those!

I would say stance is very significant. Looks way better.

are these a conical seating or an acorn. Most manufacture wheels are the acorn style and you cannot run conical tuner lugs on them. When I see people run tuner lugs on factory wheels it bugs the crap out of me. Thats dangerous for the owner and anyone that drives around them....that and it messes up their wheels

Still waiting on the OP to answer my PM but these are "mag seated" like our OEM lugs and require a washer from my research. The factory 370z wheel has a flat surface where the lug nut touches the wheel. the gorilla lugs might be an appropriate match for these but they will cost close to $100 with shipping and I will not know if they fit for sure until I try them since nobody else has these wheels aside from myself & the OP (still waiting on him before I bite the bullet)

To the rest of you all posting on the look of the wheels... trust me these look AMAZING on a 2nd Gen GS in person. The OP has a lighter color GS but mines in Cinnabar Pearl and they look OEM but sporty & they're light weight. I seen these mounted on my car and now I'm obsessed with finding lugs that work.

Then a more serious note is trying to find the right lugs these aren't like the G35 18" & 19" wheels that everyone is mounting its a PITA finding the correct lugs for these...

Pretty close to what they looked like mounted on my car. I'll say that in person the spokes don't look as big and the flat part of the spokes are machined so it breaks that area up as well and makes for some contrast against the grey & darker painted cars. I'd say they're very close to the 20" M56 sport wheels in person!
