Default Will 09 GTR wheels fit my 03 Z?

So I have an 03 350Z and I have a chance to get some 09 GTR wheels for it. But from research I see the 09 offsets for the front are 45 and 20 for the rear if I'm not mistaken. Does anyone know if I'll have issues bolting these up with the factory tires?.. Thanks in advance!

factory tires are 18's or in your case 17's and i believe gtr wheels are 19's or i think 20's. however they will fit its been done before, search.

Factory tires, probably not, they are not staggered in height and tall for the car. I do not know the offset, but you probably need spacers. Very easy to take care of.

255/40/20 and 285/35/20 will be much taller than OEM 350Z tire sizes. Plan on buying 30mm profile tires if you want to put them on a Z...and a spacer in the front.

Front might be a little tight but nothing that a spacer can not fix.

25mm spacer for the front should take care of some of the wheel gap. Post pics when you get em.

You need a body/lip kit to pull this off. The GTR wheels have no lip making it appear even bigger than a regular 20 inch rim. I think its going to have the "hot wheels syndrome" look. Look forward to some pics though. Do share.

here is a local houston guy with em. I don't think you need a kit but you would have to slam the car and put on some spacers to make it look good.

The GT-R has been out for 3 years, and no one has ever thought about this yet.

Wow that Z from Houston looks siiick.. And Im not a big fan of yellow but anyways I did some more research and it looks like I'll need atleast a 15 to 20mm spacer if I want it to fit if all information I read was correct and probably some 30 series tires, But now the guy that was supposed to sell me the wheels is kind of BS'ing me.. (tsk tsk) so I think I'm just gonna try and order some true type coilovers from BC instead. (unless he calls me back before hand) maybe it's a sign to buy the coilovers instead lol but thanks for to everyone who replied and if I get the wheels I'm sure this thread will pop back up.

I know the brakes fit

That said I've passed on a few sets of these as 20's
Just aren't the best look on a z.

The yellow z is the best I've seen yet.

I think I may cop a set for my Z which is all carbon fiber minus the front and rear bumpers painted black. I think it would look sick.
