350z 18" rims??????????? Question

Will the Touring 350z 18" rims fit onto a 2002 Maxima? I understand that the front rims are 18x8, what are the rear 18x8.5? Will 225/40/18 size tires fit for front and rear?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is there an offset issue? Are the rear rims 18x8.5? What about looks any opinions?

The fronts are 18x7.5 and the rears are 18x8. You should have no problem fitting them if you get smaller tires. The 245/45s will probably rub if you are dropped. Even if your not they still might rub.

I had the 17" 7-spoke ones on my '00 SE and the rears rubbed a little. I got Tein S-Techs installed. I think if you go with 235/45's, shouldn't be a problem. I was running them with the stock 235/50's. Looks nice though. I think they're 8" width with a +30 and a +33 offset.

I am currently running a 245/45/18 tire package on my car and although it is a big tire, I am lowered about 2 inches on JIC's and no problems. I can't go any lower than that though, and I just bought a new set of tires for that reason.
