18" Alloy Wheels and Snow Tires Package

I'm not very rim savvy so my sincere apologies.

I need a set of winters and I found this on craigslist(I hope its legit), would anyone know, by looking at the link, if it would fit a 09 370z NON-SPORT?

if it came off a g37s (which has the same brakes as us) it will clear the calipers. find out the offsets of the wheels. if they are 40mm, which it seems like they are, they will be a bit sunken in but acceptable.

EDIT: since you have a non sport, it will definitely clear your calipers. the g37S has the akebono BBK

indeed. are you looking for wheels and tires? you know what you could do is throw winter tires on your stock 18's and then buy new wheels in the spring.

If you're gonna buy new tires, might as well get winters. i have some 245/45/18 dunlop sp sport signature all season tires with about 10k on them. (they have a 420 tread rating, so there is plenty of life left in them. they fit the stock 18's fine and i'll sell them to you if you want, but if i was you i'd go for a dedicated winter tire. you're going to have traction issues with all seasons in snow.

As long as you get snow tires, not all-seasons. I had all-seasons on my 350 and they were fine until it got real slick. The Blizzaks that I mounted last year are awesome. I actually had fun driving in them. Zipped past FWD and AWD cars like they were nothing.

Nice, too bad those wheels got sold, it would've been a decent deal

i'm telling you , you have the best winter setup in terms of wheels for this car (the stock 18's) buy some snow tires and upgrade or put back on the summer tires in spring.

found these on craigslist if you wantto inquire

http://newhaven.craigslist.org/pts/2057789089.html
http://longisland.craigslist.org/pts/2060143190.html
http://longisland.craigslist.org/pts/2032185269.html

these you could buy the 245/45/18's for 100 each and then get a second pair from tire rack for full price and make out ok $ wise
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2086374843.html

tire sizes you can go for on the stock 18's are 245/45/18 all around, or 245/45/18 in rear and 225/50/18 in front.
