2005 18" 350z Rims on 03 max

I have a 03 max and I am planning on putting some 18" 2005 350z rims on the car, do u think they would fit? And what setup to use? If you guys have pictures of this please most it so i could have a idea on how it is going to look.

I posted a reply in the other thread, but oh well. I had '04 350Z's (17" 7 -spoke version) with Tein S-Techs. I had rubbing issues. It looked nice, but I eventually took them off and traded for a set of G35C's. IMO, much nicer. Still got some issues, but I'm planning on working them out. What's the offset and tire sizes? My G's are 225/45/18 in the front, and 245/45/18 with an 18x8" rim front and rear with a +30 offset.

I dont know much about the 350z, but i do believe shes a RWD car, and if thats the case, the width of the back rim may not be compatible with the max. I would definitely double check. However if thats the case, you could just always buy 4 front 350z rims...

This morning i saw a 5 gen max with 04 maxima rims... it looked like a 4x4 to say the least...

why not put the 245 tires in the front and the 225 in the back... if anything like edgex said.. buy 4 fronts.

350z Rims

So you think the rims would fit just fine then, If so I would be the only one in Nassau, Bahamas with this setup. But please post pics so i can see the setup.

Thanks...................Big Up To Da MAX!

putting 245s in front would be rather heavy.. those wheels weigh a lot more than maxima wheels.. so good luck running better times, although looks are pimpin!

I think that as long as you put only front on you will be ok the off set for the back rim is too much for the max personally i think that the G-35 wheels are much sexier if i was you i would go with the one that has the uh....for lack of knowledge.....spider web honey comb looking design
