I think it looks cool personally. The car has a big old booty so the wide wheel stance on rear looks good in my opinion.

I like the way it looks. I bought a set of 370z rims and put them on earlier this year. I kept the spacing stock. When I have time I will post a pic.

can you post a low rear ground shot, so we can see from the back end. what size tires are you running as well. would be great to get some 275-295 on the rear with the wide fenders.

I am running Michelin MXM4 245/45/19s all around. The rears are stretched a little and no one really notices or cares. The only deals I found were for a set of four and finding tires of the same brand with different widths for these rims was impossible. Tires are expensive in Canada so I took whatever deal I could find.

You will have to check other threads but anything wider than 255 will rub if I'm not mistaken.

thanks for the pics. just what I wanted to see. looks good , would look even better with a wider tire. understand the cost issue. I have not researched the wider tire yet. but do not want any rubbing.

Is the poke from the rear tires caused by the different tire widths (e.g. not a square setup)? Does anyone on here have 4 370Z front rims only so it is square all around? I know the new Infiniti Q50S runs on the latest 370Z Rays with a square setup (?).

Yea it's a staggered setup that's why they stick out. Fronts are 9 in wide, rears are 10 in wide.

along the same line as these questions i was wondering if you could just put 4 front rims on the max & if that would eleviate the "poke out" effect??

also i did not seem to see if it was answered about wether they rub or not? i have a 2011 sv (sport package) & i really like the 370z wheels & the look on the maxima...

thanks!!!

Having 4 fronts will definitely alleviate the "poke out" effect. Good luck finding fronts though... it took me 2 years of searching to find a full set.

I ran 245/45 all around and there is no rubbing. My car isn't lowered.
