Will these 18s fit the 370Z?
 

Hello everyone,

I will be shopping for a new car in the coming months, and right now I'm leaning heavily towards the 370Z.

Right now on my car I have a set of 18" PIAA wheels, sizes 18x8.5 +37 front, 18x9.5 +45 rear.

1) Are these OK offsets for the Z?

2) Are they too wide for the 225 and 245 factory 18" tires?

3) Could these possibly clear the Sport Brakes?


I've done some search regarding fitting 18" with Sport brakes, basically there is no clear answer. Just wondering if anyone could give me any pointers. Thanks!

1. no, those are terrible offsets. the front is ok, nearly stock (which is about 25 mm too much offset to start with, but the rears are 19x10 +30, so a 18x9.5 +45 would be close to an inch further set in, ekkkk

2. those should not be a problem for rim width, although the tires will look stretched.

3. probably not, not many 18" wheels have been fitted that i know of.

They will fit and be a big yuck due to offset!!

Don't use those wheel offsets unless you're buying an S2000.

thanks for all the help everyone. I guess I will not be using my current wheels on the Z then. This could eventually just push me into getting the Sports Package :happydance:

LOL 18x8.5 +37 front, 18x9.5 +45 rear

Thats WAY too conservative mate thats not much of an upgrade from stock.

these comes in 20s now have fun =D

I think newer cars, especially the Z, have much wider and larger wheel wells, so tires are also alot bigger. My current tires are 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. Those would be terribly small on the Z as well.
