Well Harris and his bro stopped by to drop off his 2007 Sentra 2.0S for a little TLC. He brought the 240 also to roll around in till we were done with the Sentra. So before he left we were talking about what rims he should buy for the 240. We were looking in the Tire Rack book and found a few closeouts but when we called they were out of the SSR's that he decided on. So then we brought the 240 in too for an oil change. We had my dad and I's 350Z in the shop for a new front lip and it was on the lift next to the 240. Harris started looking at the bronze Nismo wheels on the 350 and the light bulb went on in his head.
He asked me about putting them on his car but I didn't think they would fit. Well guess what they did. The fronts were the close call. There was about a 2mm gap between the tire and strut. The fronts are 18x9.5 Nismo wheels with 245-40-18 Bridgestone Potenza S0-3 Pole Positions. The rears are 18x10.5 wheels with 275-40-18 S0-3's. We had to do a little cutting of the front bumper corner to make it work. Once we set the car on the ground all I could say is "WOOOWW!!!" I don't know which car they look better on. My dad cut him a good deal on the wheels and tires and Harris got a new pair of shoes. I'm sure he will chime in soon so here you go guys tell him what you think.
I had to go with those wheels once I set my eyes on them. Bryan's dad, Curt, was talking to me about about ordering a wheel set from TireRack when I saw his 350Z roll into the shop. As soon as I saw the wheels, I say to him, "So Curt, I know I already talked to your son about this, but I'm going to ask you straight up: what will it take for me to get those wheels off of you?". Some number-crunching and test-fitting later, those wheels were mine!
This setup is WAY better than the stock S14 wheels I was running. No more traction issues, no more sliding around even with a blip of the throttle. The Bridgestones are amazing!
I thank Bryan and his dad for hooking me up with these wheels and tires. Guys, these guys run the Nissan dealership where I bought my '07 Sentra from (North Coast Nissan in Middleburg Heights, OH). Amazing people, good business ethics, and really good friends when you get to know them! This car will keep a big smile on my face all the way to Kansas!

I'm sorry I didn't copy everyone else's setup. If you need a preacher to tell you what mods to put on your car, the Reverend Veilside180sx might have a suggestion.
lose the bumper stickers though!!! kills the whole mood! its like going out to eat with a fine female to an elegant restaurant and 1: your cell phone rings, and 2: you decide to answer it. just kills the mood!!!
jealousy sets in. i wanted to put those rims on my 93 g20 but THEY WOULDNT FIT!!! LIFE ISNT FAIR!!! it does look pretty damn good on a 240 ***. how much u pay? o_0

looks great man, just take care of that bumper exhaust issue ^_^. (Btw, if you dont want to hack it before the muffler to extend it out, you can just find some 4" diameter pipe and just add it to the end of the muffler too like me, problem is finding piping that large)
Thank you all for the compliments. Now I have to find a racecourse in Kansas and see what these bad boys can really do. I'm following Jim Schumacher's train of thought. Get quality products once so you can get your car to act right.
Witt, I am definitely doing that once I get to my duty station. I don't have the time to do it here, but work with the exhaust is the next thing to do.
I only left the stickers on the rear bumper as I still do some kind of business with the companies whose names are on there, like Braille Auto for example. I use their dinky little battery every time I go to the track. I love its light weight!

Are you talking about the thing that says 180SX? If so, no. I didn't buy the car to rice it out. If it gives no function, it is not going to be on my car.
