Default Wheels 5x114.3

Okay so I've been doing some browsing and CARID says that these wheels won't fit my 350z? I have a 2007. Lug pattern is 5x114.3 correct? My question is will these fit my car? I really want them for I have a daytona blue car with a carbon fiber hood.

Will they fit, yes. Will they look too small/narrow/sunk in.....yes

Most people run 18x9.5 18x10.5 +15 offsets. The +40 will be more sunk in than the factory wheels, and not to mention narrower

Of course there is an option for 18 inch which is what I'd be getting. But is 40 offset ugly? I wouldn't mind the stock sit just want different wheels

Stock are like +33.... so you will be more sunk in. The lower the number the closer to the fender it is. +15 is what alot get

OP, as its been stated already, offset and width is totally wrong.

Stock 17" wheels on Zs are 17x7.5 F, 17x8 R so you can see that going with a 7.0 is a decided step backwards. Also, offset on OEM (17" wheels) is +30F/+33R. Going with a 40mm offset will push the wheel inwards and while you'll clear the suspension inside (due to rim width reduction), good chance you'll run into caliper interference AND a horrific look.

If you are deadset on new wheels, look for at least 8" wide with offset at or below +30mm (down to about +15mm for no-fender-mod-req'd fitment).

I would also recommend going with 18" diameter for better tire choice and performance gain (sharper turn in and recovery response) due to the slightly lower sidewall. That is, unless you plan to run the 17" tires you have now.

that too. so many problems that it isnt even worth the trouble. in fact, my new ce28rt is 1mm short of clearing my brembos, so now i gotta be a wheel spacer user like mic.... i hate wheel spacers....

Do proper research on wheel widths and offsets before making any decision on a wheel. Just because CarID says this and that does not mean it will look good on your car.

OP, these wheels are offered in the sizes you will need and almost look identical to the Konigs...thank goodness for replicas!
