Title: 350Z Rims on Sedan 18x8 +30mm (pics)
Post by: Milan on April 03, 2009, 09:23:40 PM
I plan on putting these on Gen's coupe when the weather turns warm and when it fricking stops snowing!! Just for kicks I threw these on my sedan to see just how bad they would stick out. While it might be possible to run these in the rear with some fender rolling, the fronts present a little bigger problem lol. Check it out!

In these two pictures the steering wheel wasn't 100% straight so the offset might look worse than it really is. Regardless, the wheels stick out just a bit much.

I don't like them. Just my opinion, but I'm just not feeling them at all. Hopefully they look better on the coupe.

Honestly, for some reason I like that. Except for the front. Rear looks perfectly flush. Did you get 4 front Z rims or just a set of the staggered set-up?

Thanks! I got the rims for $180 so I can't complain about the looks too much. I think they're alright.
The offset and width is the same front and rear. It's odd because they have "front" stamped on two of the rims and "rear" on the other two even though they are both 30mm offset and 8" width. Those specs are stamped on the back too so I'm not pulling that out of my ass lol.

I would hope so, otherwise they shouldn't be on his car without modification to the bolt pattern.

I think they look pretty good. The only thing I would have a problem with is that you would either have to go center capless or ride around with a Nissan center cap on a Honda.

They look Good. If the offset wasn't an issue and what abailey said about the center caps I'd be riding on them

Nice although not my cup-o-tea. Might look better on Gen's car though. Props on the change though

Milan, I actually like the Maxima rims on our Gen7's however, the center cap thing would drive me crazy!!!
$180.00 shit……………..I buy them from you if you should ever want to part with them!!! LOL

Thanks! Yeah, but only one is a Dunlop, the other three are Pirelli P Zero Nero.

A-ha!! I thought those like "shark fins" sidewall and tread pattern looked familiar on the rear tires, but then I saw Dunlop on front.
Thanks, Milan!!!
