I bought new rims for my 07 350z and I'm not sure what to believe if they'll fit or not. I've got my friend saying yeah all I need are spacers, and then my uncle saying it's too big and itll rub on the sidewall of the tire.

Heres the rims specs:
19x8.5, 5x114.3 offset 40
I know theoffset is ridiculously high and we test fitted the rim, it fits good just by itself when we raised the car and everything, it's just not flush. It's more inside the wheel well. I was thinking why not get 25mm spacers all around so its 1 inch for the whole car and then itll be flush or close enough.

I dont see why it wouldnt fit cause people run 20s on their z's just fine so ??

 

+40s are +10mm inbound of stock so of course they're not going to be flush when stock isn't even close. (THey will tuck in 10mm inwards.)

Yes, you'll need to run 20-25mm spacers to get 8.5s out closer to the lip.

 

8.5” is the stock width of a oem Touring model wheel. A lot of people run 9.5 or 9.5/10.5” staggered if they are going for a flush look.

 

I would seriously find different wheels.

 

Those are going to be awesome, can't wait for the pictures

 

my guess is, it will look sunken in like this

 

i want to know what they look like

 

Why did you buy wheels before checking?

 

I'm such a jerk face

 

Im a jerk

 

Womp womp

 

Fully fixed up for niceness.

 

I didnt know offset was even a thing. I thought as long as it's the right bolt pattern and it's not too crazy like 30 inch rims it would fit. It's so retarded tbh why tf make rims with a 40 offset like that's crazy high

 

What I dont understand is people like my uncle saying it's too big and the tire will rub on the sidewall, when theres people who run 20s on their 350, and ontop of that they lower their car.

I'm all stock and these are just 19 inch rims. Heres what they look like http://www.ebay.com/itm/173218418578

 

 

Yeah it can get confusing. There are a few cars that use the 114.3 bolt pattern and the 40mm offset will look and work great on those vehicles.

The biggest problem is going to be the 19x8.5”. You purchased a taller wheel that doesn’t really give you any more rubber touching the road than stock. I don’t remember anybody putting that size wheel on a Z before - It may look kinda odd.

Konig is a decent wheel brand (at least imo, others may disagree) so that’s a plus.

I REALLY, REALLY recommend you read the 100 Most Commonly Asked Questions thread that’s stickied above the forum posts. There is tons of excellent info about wheels, offsets, and pretty much anything else you can imagine.

 

He sounds like a good dude.

 

They will look so mint with some 225/40/19s
