Will The '06 350Z 18" Touring Rims clear the 370Z BBK?
 

Hello All,

I did a search on multiple forums and thus far have not been able to come up with a decisive answer, hence my question:

Will the 2006 18" touring rims fit on a 2009 370Z Touring + Sports package? My main concern is if the rims will clear the brakes. I do like the look of these wheels and I thinkn they'd make a nice set of winter wheels for my 370Z if this is possible. I am kind of a n00b when it comes to wheel offsets (I apologize in advance for my ignorance), as the only other sets of rims I have fitted on vehicles either already came with the car and/or were fairly easily interchangeable. I'm hoping they will work, since the 18" 370Z base will fit, but I like the appearance of the 2006 Touring wheels better.

Here's the wheel info (see attached image):

2005-2007
Aluminum Alloy
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

you will probably need a 20-25mm spacer in the rear, and possibly a small one in front, as the offsets are off, but if they clear the brembos they should clear the sport brakes.

I can now say for sure that the 18" rear track rays will fit all four corners, even with an inch added to the backside of them.

Ok, cool. So I need a spacer so that the new wheels will stick out to match the stock wheels, right? Otherwise the spokes could hit the calipers?

As far as knowing for sure, I don't mean to be a pest, but how do you know? I am guessing the fronts may not work?

I have a set of 4 18x8.5 +33 rear track wheels, all widened 1" that were delivered today and test fit with no problems. The regular wheels on the 350 also cleared the brembos, so at the absolute worst, you would need a 10mm spacer, as the akebonos are a little bigger, but still, they should not be a problem at all.
