I thought 350z rears were wider? I have 18x10 with 265 and they don't rub. I would think the front would rub first with the bigger springs? The rear springs are about the same size as coilovers.
How wide are the 350 tires?
pics pleaseeeeeee

but yeah, I really like your max.

the rims may have a suitable offset but the tiresize is not the same.
The 350Z uses different sized tires than the max. I had the same problem while searching for 2002 maxima wheelsets on sale. I opted to get just the rims alone separately just for fit reasons. If your car is squating a bit in the back, you may need stiffer or higher springs. More things to consider but definitely do the homework before moding your car. Some extra research will save you time, money and aggrevation in the end. good luck

Thanks Guys...
I think the rear tires on the 350 are pretty beefy as well.
Well I hope you get them on there. post some pix. I thought about those wheels for my 240 as well.
I threw my Max wheels on the 240 just to see what it looked like. Man those things fit everything.
