Being that my 300zx came stock with 16s, I'd say you're safe.

No they wont, DEUSKi tried, no fit. You need a spacer as the offset is too small. Oddly enough they will fit the stock 17" SL rims.

Eibach makes a great 5mm hubcentric spacer kit. I dunno the part number, but I have one on order for my stock rims for winter use.

Good Luck,

The stock 18" Maxima rims do NOT fit with 300zx calipers. It isnt by very much, but it doesnt fit. You could almost shave down the cast "NISSAN" and it may fit, its that close.
