i bought some 350z rims .. 18"in size and inside the offsets are all labelled 30mm for all 4 rims ... I dont get this, if theyre the same size then why do they need to be labelled front and back ? ... maybe im missing something .. can someone please explain ?

The 350z comes with staggered tire size....245s in the rear and 235s in the front IIRC. If you get the same size tire there is no difference.

You have 4 front wheels, not a big deal. Use the same size tires all around and you'll be able to rotate the tires to extend tire life.

nope, I think not

some of the 350 18's are just like the G35 18s - all 4 are 18x8, but front tires are 225/45/18 and rear tires are 245/45/18. They are labeled front and rear because some morons might rotate teh 245/45s to the front.....

The rims themselves are exactly the same. My G35 18s also have front and rear stamped on the inside of the spokes.

^ Exactly what Irish said. I've got 4 G35 18's with 3 front and 1 rear.
