I'm interested in installing some 18x8 wheels from the new 350Z on my Gen 5. I've found a pretty good deal on factory take-off's, and I really like the style of the wheel.

Does anyone have experience putting these on a Gen 5? I looked around cardomain some to no avail. The bolt spacing is the same, but they are 30 mm offset rather than the stock 40mm. According to the offset calculator, this will result in them extending an additional 23 mm from the stock wheels...I don't think this will cause any problems given the abudant space under non-lowered Gen 5 wheel wells.

Any advice, comments, photos, links, or flaming on this subject is appreciated.

 

If your car is dropped, I believe 30mm offset won't work.

 

Do you guys know if the non-track 18" Z rims clear BBKs? ie.. do the non-volk 18" equipped Zs come with the brembo 4 pot brakes

 

A local dealer has a blue 350Z with the non-Volk 18's. I was checking it out last night and noticed that it must have a big-brake kit from brembo, because it has the vented/slotted discs with brembo 4-pots.

Not sure if it was a kit or a factory option or what, but it looked cool. Therefore I'm not sure if the Track model parts would fit within those wheels. I'm guessing they would, though.

My car is not dropped, so I'm going to put the 350Z wheels on and see what they look like. Just eyeballing last night they looked really nice.

 

I just bought the 18" optional 2004 Maxima rims for my 2k1 Max, I think im getting 245/40/18 or 245/45/18
