That looks really slick. Just like I imagined. Those wheels really fit that body style. Now where can I find a set for sale for my '95???

be warned though that the 8.5 rear tires are TOO wide for the maxima back... when u bottom out, the body will rub on the tires.

Thanks for the help folks. I tried to reg. at 350zmotoring, but it wouldn't let me. I guess it is because of my yahoo address. I hear the 17" wheel are a lot lighter than the 18". Is that true? How much do they weigh? Anybody ou there with any for sale??

I think both sets look great. I do like the 18s better though. The q45 wheels are kick axx. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for them BlueC???

Personally, I love those rims. I like Nissan/Infiniti rims cause they still look fairly stock but are different.

How much do the 17's weigh vs the 2k max's wheels ? I love the look of both of these ( in 17 of course ) i'd just like to know how much they weigh.

I have G35 Coupe 17's (staggered 17 x 7.5 and 17 x 8) on with the H&R/Illumina drop. With the width and offset of these wheels, I would not want to be any lower...

im lookin at a set of 350z wheels with oem tires on my local craigslist. i assume they fit on my 95max. Do you think ill need to lower my car or will they look fine without it being lowered since they are 18s?

The rear tires are 235/50R17 and the front are 225/50R17. The bolt pattern is 4-1/2 inches with five lugs.

anyone?

With those tire sizes, the set you're looking at are 17s, not 18s. (I'm not sure if those are the right size tires or if they will throw off the speedometer, you might want to check on that.) The bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm on both the 350z and the max, so they will fit.

As for lowering, you don't NEED to lower (see Vad3K's picture in this thread), but most people will agree that it will look much better if you do.

here are mine. just put them on tonight...sry for the pic its a camera phone. tomorrow i'll take some good ones with my real camera. i plan on getting my car lowered in the next couple weeks. did any of you guys notice the rim doesnt fit flat against your rotors because of some cap sticking out? how should i deal with that? ill be driving very carefully until i get that taken care of.
