I noticed the offsets are a bit off - 30 mm for the 7.5" fronts, 33 mm for the 8" rears - but are these still acceptable as far as wheel bearing loads, fender well fitment, etc? I'm referring to the 7-spoke type. Will put on 235 or 245/45 tires. If anyone is actually using these, I would esp. like to hear your feedback.

THANKS!!

Hehe. I seem to have started a trend, 5 17'' 350 threads after mine. I made a thread about the same question last week. I'll dig it it up for you.

Why not just get the 350z 18"? They are 18 x 8 and both front and rear are 30 offset. I am not having any issues with rubbing.

+1 the 18's look waaaaaaaay better, or the 6th gen 18's the two almost look identical to me.

FYI, the front and rear wheels have different offsets, but they are the same diameter and width (8 inches wide). When I had these wheels on my car, there were 225/50/17 tires mounted on all 4 wheels. I used the +33 offset wheels (rears originally) on the front and the +30 offset wheels on the back (fronts originally). I did this because I wanted the front and rear to sit flush, and indeed, they were more flush than my SSR wheels are now. IMO, it looked great. Here is the picture of my car with the wheels on:
