Will 350Z 17" rims fit a 4th gen Max?

Hi guys,
I'm buying a set of 350-Z, 17-inch 6-spoke wheels for my '96 Maxima and I was wondering if these rims would fit as a direct replacement on my car?

I think the offsets are different right?... (35mm on my '96, versus 40mm on the Z) But I don't know a whole lot about rims, so would this be a problem?

I know a bunch of people seem to have put the Z rims on 4th gens, but do I need spacers or can I just bolt on and go?

I have seen several 3rd gens with them, so I am pretty sure they will fit a 4th gen.

yeah they fit, their on my maxima... however the rear wheels are so wide (and since my car is lowered) it rubs on really big bumps.

Yup, had them on my car and whenever I carried passengers in back the sidewall would hit the fender lip and peel the rubber off. That's with the oem tire size (235/50/17) and sprints...just get lower profile tires and you should be ok.

I have a questions about non-Nissan wheels. Would Porsche wheels fit a 5th gen Max? I'm looking at 18x8.5 and 18x10 wheels, but I can't find any bolt patterns of those wheels, I know the Max is 5x114.3.

I know this is kind of off topic, but I couldn't start a new post. Sorry guys and thanks for any help.

I think the wheels are 5x130. I'm new to theses sizes, is there any way to make them fit. I'm probably just out of luck.

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread, but it's a similar topic.

I want to put the 350z 17" 7-spoke rims on my third generation Maxima. The front rims are 17x7.5 with 225/50/17 tires, and the rear rims are 17x8 with 235/50/17 tires. Will these tires fit without rub or problems? No lowering done to the car. Any help is appreciated.
