350z tires on a 03 Maxima

I know the 350z has different size rims on the front and back. Has anyone used one of the rims on all 4 wheels on their 03 Maxima? I want to upgrade my rims from the stock SE rims and I think the 5 spoke 350z wheels look better than any after market rims, I am just not sure which of the 2 sizes makes the most sense. Has anyone done this?

The widths and offsets of most Z/G rims are friendly enough that you can run the staggered rims, be it wides in front or wides in the back, totally up to you. Just get the same size tire size all round. If you can, you can always look for 4 fronts or 4 rears too.

I got a set of staggered wheels in my 2001 Maxima. The rear wheels are a little stretched but they do a very good job in the cornering and handling.

And here is the rear wheel.

What is the size and offset of the wheels that are you planning to install?

Flanker84 - The wheels are the rear, stock 370Z rims in the attached photo. The wheels are 18 x 9.0 in. and the tires are P245/45R.

If I have to make a lot of additional mods, I will purchase rims that are similar looking, but don't require other changes. I just like these wheels better than anything else I have come across.
