Default Question about wheel size! HELP!!

Ok so I rushed and bought a set of 4 wheels + tire package.
Here is the name and the specs:

CORVETTE C6 Z06 GLOSS BLACK RIM
FACTORY REPRODUCTION - CORVETTE C6 Z06 GLOSS BLACK
19x11


Will this fit in my 370Z Touring + Sports Pkg? I currently have the stock sports pkg 19 inch wheels, but not sure on the diameter.
If it does fit will it have any side effects or affect my car in any negative way?

Stock Sport Package wheels are: Front- 19x9 +47, Rear- 19x10 +30

What are the Offsets and Lug pattern (5x____) of your Z06 wheels?

If they are not 5x114.3, they will not fit on the Z, regardless of width or offset, without hub adapters.

When it comes to modding, Rushing never results in a good finished product.

So do the new rims that I purchase HAVE to be 5x114.3 exactly? And would 19x10/10.5 for front and 19x11/10.5 for rears fit on my Z?

yes they have to be. thats the bolt pattern for the studs otherwise its like youre trying to put a square block in a circular hole. You can tuck any of the sizes depending on offsets, camber, and tire size. Youre only providing 1 of 4 REQUIRED pieces of information to let us help you find out if it will fit.

I honestly don't know enough about cars to tell you all the details but can anyone recommend me a good size and pattern etc. I already have the wheel in mind. I will just ask the representative if they have the wheel with these specs.

Why don't you show us which wheels, then tell us which brakes you have as well

19 Inch BELLO MATTE BLACK UNDERCUT Rim Wheel (Rim) and Tire Packages for your 2009 NISSAN 370Z WITH SPORT PACKAGE - Wheel and Tire Packages - Rim and Tire Packages for your Car, Truck or SUV with Free Shipping from Performance Plus Wheel and Tire

^ That is the wheel. Im trying to get a wheel+tire package but I don't even know which tires to get seeing that some are different sizes? I have the sports pkg breaks. Im not sure what they are called but theyre black and sais "NISSAN" on it. That's all I can really tell you
I'm seeing if they can reformate the 8.5 diameter to 9.5/10 for front and 10.5/11 for rears. Is that safe?

First of all, they're REALLY narrow
And I wouldn't go with off brand wheels...


I'm sure you can find some Vossen's or Avant Garde's or something else you like/want too, THEN a forum sponsor can hook you up on a package deal!

Buying knock off brand wheels then having them widened is a terrible idea. They aren't built for that. Name brand wheels have better quality and COULD handle being cut and rewelded since they are made with quality materials. Knock off brands will be weaker/cheaper metals to make em will probably use the welds that were used to widen them to crack and seperate. If you can avoid doing it and just gettin the widths and offsets you want then great. Mike the Powdercoater on this forum had his 350z wheels wideneds for track but those are made by RAYs. Definitely high quality wheels and Mike probably has an extremely high quality welder he can trust.
