Just bought a set of 17" 350Z Wheels!

Should be getting them within a week. Does anyone else have these on their Max? I'd love to see some pics...especially on a white one.

I thought the 350Z had a different offset. Are you sure they will fit?

I've been told by several people that these wheels should fit 5th Gen just fine. I've seen some 4th and 5th Gens with these wheels. Any fellow Org members who have these wheels on your 5th Gen, I'd love to find out how they fit and if you had any problems with them. Is the offset different from the Max...any issues with that? Thanks!

The problem with the 350z wheels is that the rear wheels and tires are wider. Correct me if wrong.

doesn't anyone actually read any more???

YES they are different sizes, it says so in the ebay ad (fronts are 7.5, backs are 8).

YES they fit all nissan maximas back to 1989, it says so in the ebay ad.

geez

I've decided not to purchase these wheels after all. Aside from the offset issue, I think these wheels/tires are impractical. You can't rotate the tires due to the larger size in the rear and the tires are not all season. I'd like to stick to a wheel and tire the same size all around. I'm still looking to upgrade my existing wheels and would like to stick to a Nissan wheel. Any suggestions on what fits and what would look good on a 2001?

That's false..

the difference is only a 1/2 inch.

I guarantee you that you won't be able to tell which of the wheels is 8" and which is 7.5" when they are on the car.

you can still rotate them front to back.

If you want to go with a Nissan look, why not upgrade to a 2K4 18 inch?

NYCe Maxima - You're right that the rims are only 1/2 difference, but the tires are also different sizes. 225 on the front and 235 on the rear...I think that would look too strange when you rotate them.

NYC2SD - I'd love to get the 04 18" wheels, but I haven't seen anyone selling them yet. I wouldn't even think about purchasing them from the dealer.
