Anybody tried fitting 370Z Rays on a 6th gen?

I posted this over on 6thgenmaxima.org, but figured I'd throw it up here as well.

Has anybody tried fitting the 370Z Sport 19"s (Rays) on a 6th gen? The specs are:
Fronts: 19x9 47mm offset
Rears: 19x10 30mm offset

I've got a decent deal on a couple different sets. My only concern is getting those suckers under the car without rolling the fenders.

Only if you agree to buy them if they don't fit ! I'm probably only gonna get one shot at this money-wise, so I want to make sure it will work.

I've tried these rims on my car. The offset in the rear is to low for our cars. Don't waste your money.

I don't know, but if someone was able to put the GT-R wheels on an the 6th gen I dont see why the 370Z's wouldn't work.

I saw a 370Z in Vegas just a couple hours ago and the rears look to "
dished" to fit on our cars.

Maybe this will help you dude.

Specs on GTR wheels are:

20x9.5 Front +45 Offset
20x10.5 Rear +25 Offset Back Space 171mm

Specs on 370Z wheels:

19x9 Front+47 Offset
19x10 Rear +30 Offset Back space 171mm

The difference between the GTR rears and 370Z rears is 5mm. The 370Z will be in 5mm more then the GTRs.

So in other words, not very different then these GTR wheels on the Maxima. Some people like that, I don't. As you c see, the fronts are fine. That's why I said, that if you run 4 fronts, you be good. The rears are with 255s and you can see how stretched they are.

RAZ76,
Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep looking (for different wheels).

Thanks again.

Four fronts would be good but very hard to get. Maybe find replicas???

Not hard but it will require time and patience. I always see single wheels pop up in ebay and 370Z forums. Just got to buy one or two at a time.

No they are not. 350Z wheels fit perfect but again they are staggered since the 350Z is RWD.

370Z
19x9 front +47
19x10 rear +30

GT-R
20x9.5 front +45
20x10.5 rear +25

350Z
18x8 front +30
18x8.5 rear +33

I personally don't like it. I think 2010 Maxima wheels look better, even Altima SE-R wheels look better.

I agree with DeusExMaxima, two fronts would be the best way to go.
I think that style would look good on our max.

I know this has to be a dumb question but what is our stock offset? Actually I know our rims are 18X7.5 but how do you take into account the offset when you go for a wider wheel? more offset or less? Also does has anyone done staggered Z rims on the 6th gen? Any pics?

Our wheels have a +40 offset. The lower the offset the more they will stick out. You have to take in consideration, width, offset and Back Space when choosing wheels. The more they stick out, the more issues you will have.

I believe the anniversary wheels are 18"s, and they're not 10.5" in the back, so they'll be fine.
