I'm pretty sure they WILL. I'm assuming that all recent Nissan cars all have the same bolt pattern.

18" x 8.0" (front) / 8.5" (rear) 6-spoke super light forged-aluminum alloy wheels by Rays

Your dad should prabably be able to figure out what the offset and the bolt pattern is. Tell us that and then im sure people can help. I think the max bolt pattern is 114MM 5 Lug.

I imagine those cost a pretty penny from the dealership. I want some though. It would be cool to have nice wheels that still say nissan on them. And Rays makes good wheels.

i know for the other Z cars 90-96 only the NA rims would fit b/c the rears were wider on the Turbo and Twin Turbo, i know the 350Z is NA but i still belive the rears r like .5 inches bigger then the front. Not to pratical on a Front Wheel drive car

Why couldn't you just get four fronts and put them at all corners? Seems like an easy fix to me, if your dad works where they make them. And seriously, find out how much they weigh and if he can hook the rest of us up!

IMO I don't think they compliment the curves of either the 4th or 5th Gen Maximas. It just seems too futuristic to me. The wheels that fit best on Maxs are ones such as 5 or 6 spokes, or multiple thin spokes.

I think they'd compliment the Max well. They only have 7 spokes...ala..Konig Tantrum which looks great on the Max. Besides...they have Nissan on them, how can you go wrong?

I just think they're a bit complex with its sharp lines and machined look. A Max looks better with a classy set of wheels. I agree, the Tantrums are nice, but very overused.

They are 17x7.5", and come in 17x8" for the rear. I'm going to get 17x7.5 all around.

Can you get a quote on both 17x7.5s and 17x8s all around?

Well my dad is going to hook me up a set for 3 bills. As far as weight I don't know yet. But I will find out this weekend.

Re: Re: Re: 350Z wheels on a Max?

So which wheels are these? Are these the standard wheels, cause they look nothing like the ones i see in all the picture. And obviously their not the optional rays wheels

From what I know these are going to be a option for the 350Z, but I'm not too sure about that.

I just came back from the factory where 350z rims are made, and the rims look 10x better in person. From what I could tell this factory only makes these two versions of 350z rims.

http://www.nissandriven.com/m/cma/i/...03_revised.jpg

These come in 17x7.5 for the front and 17x8 for the rear, with a 30mm off set.

http://www.nissandriven.com/m/cma/i/...d_big6.jpg.jpg

These come in 18x7.5 for the front and 18x8 for the rear with a 30mm off set.

So will these rims fit the Maxima with a 30mm off set? Or do I need wheel spacers? I’m thinking of getting 17x7.5 all around with 235/45/17 tire. Also from what I could tell these wheels are a little on the heavy side. Maybe 20-25lbs, but I'm not sure though. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry no "Forged" wheels are available at this factory.

The 18's look almost like the 00+ stock SE wheels...
