Would these wheels fit?

Hi guys

Saw some guy selling below and i was considering buying them if they fit........i know nothing about sizes etc, going by below would they fit the Z ok?

Rays Engineering Volk Racing VR.G2 Wheels
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 Tyres

Imported from Japan at great expense.

Literally brand new, less than 500kms use.
Front: 19 x 8.5 +35 - 245 35 19
Rear: 19 x 9.5 +22 - 275 30 19

those sizes and offsets seem like they are definitely in the realm of fitting on the Z. Whether or not they look good (too tucked in, sticking out too far) is another story. Use this calculator to determine that.

Enter your stock front wheel size and offset (i'm not sure if you have 18's or 19's) Then enter the front wheel size and offset for the new wheel. Repeat for rear wheel. This will show you how much further they stick out or how much further they are tucked in.

Specs for the sport wheels are

19x9 +47 front, 19x10 +30 rear

Front:
Inner clearance: 18mm MORE

Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 6mm

Rear
Inner Clearance: 14mm MORE
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 2mm

So in the end, your wheels will have more inner clearance, and stick out a touch more than the stock 19's. They will Fit and look slightly more aggressive. (as long as they clear the sport brakes (See my last post in this thread: Sport Package Caliper Clearance)

Good luck

Thx for the help, damn seller just replied below when i asked if he thought they'd fit:

Nope, these are 5x120 stud pattern. You need 5x114.3 plus
you would want to go 9 on the front and 10.5 on th rear of a
370z imho.

2 separate issues. if the bolt pattern is different, it wont fit no matter what. i assumed you were talking about a wheel with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, b/c without that, nothings gonna work.
