Will 350Z wheels fit on our 5th Gen ?

I saw this on CarDomain and I'm thinking of getting a set of those 350Z rims. However, the offset is only 30. Will they rub on the body when making U turn ? Any input is appreciated.

Man, thats a good question, and those 350Z rims look sweet on the Max. I do know that the rear wheels are wider on the Z, so you would at least need two sets of front or rear wheels. I guess you could run different sizes on front and back, but I think that is kind of pointless on a FWD car.

Some guys have used wheel spacers (mabey rear only) which probably gets them out to around 30. The fronts might give you more torque and bump steer.
The track version has Volk forged- very light weight. The stockers I bet are quite heavy, and quite spendy unless you are buying them off ebay from someone who is dumping them for lighter and or bigger. I personally would'nt go over $750 because you can do better aftermarket.

Thanks for the input. I've just found out that the rear will rub a little when hitting a big bump or when the car is lowered. I think 30mm is a little too negative for our car.
