will need adaptors for the bolt pattern, that is not the 370s...what is the offset of the rims as well.
I would suggest just holding off, hanging around the forums for a month or so, and then decide on new rims after youv learned a bit about what really fits on these cars. |

No.
You need to have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. 18x8 is going to look terrible... I suggest a 19x9 +20/+25 for the front and 19x10 +10/+15 in the rear for something that is going to look nice and not cause any rubbing issues. You could run that same width and offset in an 18 and it might not look bad. |

I agree that 4 18x8's would not look as good as stock. I just recently asked the same question and got nothing but don't do it advice. Even the service tech at my Nissan dealer said no way. As some suggested, go with 18x9 AND 18X10's if keeping the same tires. 18x8's in frt and 18x9's in the rear are the specs for your stock wheels, so dont go narrower for the rear. You get some great advice here. I learned a lot here.Rich

Those wheels get a big NO from me They are likely for an Audi/VW based on the fitment and even with an adapter they would be far from ideal for the 370z. Avoid them and try to pick up a used/new set of wheels meant for your car

DJ... please dont!
If your looking for wheels I would set the minimum size for the front at 9" and the rear at 10"... we have guys running 10"F and 12"R for setups
