Do 2003 Nissan 350z rims fit on 2003 Maxima?

I need a new set of rims for my winter tires. I am just sick of swapping tires on my stock wheels every winter/summer (costs me $60 every 6 months), so I decided to purchase a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires. My car is getting old and it makes no sense for me to buy new rims, so I looked on CL and found a set of used 2003 350z rims.

Before I purchase them, I just wanted to make sure they will fit my 03 Max. I'm assuming they both have same bolt pattern (5 x 114.3 mm). 350z being a rear wheel drive, are the rims on them built differently than for FWD like my max? Are they compatible?

Here's the screenshot of the ad:





I will be taking those tires off, but I do find it strange that the front wheels have 225/50/17 and rears have 235/50/17. The seller claims all 4 wheels are identical, same size.

He's willing to sell them for $215 for all 4.. but I want to make sure that I don't have any compatibility issues.. Any suggestions?

Z33's had a staggered set-up, some on on both the wheel and tires, and some on just the tires. The items you have there are I believe 7.5" in front and 8" in rear.

And no, they're fine.

I have 4 rear wheels on my 03 all around, no probs, and you're correct the bolt pattern is the same.

Maxxed, I had those exact rims on my 03 SE Maxima. They fit no problem, I even put the wider wheels to the front during rotations.
