350z Wheel Hub/Adapters
Hello! So I bought a set of wheel spacers to adapt the 5x114 to 5x120 for a set of wheels that I just bought, and once I got the spacers I tried to test fit them, and they fit fine, but the hub for the Z was smaller than the size of the hub for on the adapters… I don’t think i should use them, because i’m pretty sure the hub is supposed to fit snug, right?? if I could get some insight here that would be great thanks! and also if these hubs shouldn’t be used, a link to some that should be used

Definitely do not use those adapters. The load should be on the hub which has a bore size of 66.1.
I wouldn't use those adapters at all, but if you must, get some hub rings that convert the 66.1 to whatever the bore size of your adapters is. Kind of similar to hub rings for aftermarket wheels that don't have a 66.1 hub.

I've no personal experience with adapting BMW (presumably) wheels to a Z but have used many spacers from this company on fleabay.
These have the right hub hole measurement (66.1) but, mind the wheel offsets as these will drop offset by 25mm. I believe they offer a slimmer version, maybe like 20mm instead of these 25s. Either way, unless you're using the +40 offset Bimmer wheels, these might cause clearance issues if you plop these behind the typical +20 wheels they offer.

5x114.3 66.1mm to 5x120 72.6mm hub adapter?
Hello! I have a 2003 Nissan 350z Touring Hatch, and I just bought a set of KLÄSSEN iD wheels that the previous owner had on his BMW M2, and I cannot seem to find a set of adapters that match my 350z's hub specs (66.1mm hub, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, M12x1.25 thread size) that can also adapt to the KLÄSSEN iD Wheels (72.6mm hub, 5x120 bolt pattern, M14x1.25 thread size) can I get some help??? I dont want any poke really, so the smallest adapter possible would be appreciated, so probably about 20mm thick (Less is also great, havent found any though)
Anyways, I really need some help, new to this all, and I cannot seem to figure it out, sorry guys, probably super easy to find, but im having a heck of a time

Did you search them out on eBay? There are Nissan specific sets.

Is there an echo in here?
I answered this twice already.
One more time..... ebay vendor has the hub centric adapters; then, you buy 72.6 to 66.1 hub rings.
All while minding size, offsets, and lug/wheelnut type (note that earlier Bimmers all used wheel BOLTS so you'll have to find a set of lug nuts with the same seat angle). No clue why you bought BMW spec wheels when there are far more 5x114.3 properly sized wheels than 5x120 but whatever.

Sorry, totally my bad, i guess i didnt really understand, all of this is new to me, but yeah, I got it, buy a set of 5x114.3 to 5x120 adapters with a bore of 72.6 and then buy a set of 72.6 to 66.1 adapter rings to fit the spacers to the hub of my Z

$500 for a whole set of only track used, not at all curb rashed, 10.5 wide ID Klassen Wheels that come with a whole set of 25% used racing slicks, and Nitto NT01s that have about half of the tread left. Sound like a good deal to you? Yes. Yes it is. Those slicks cost like 1k brand new btw, and NT01's of that thickness are like 340 or so each so yes. it was a good deal.

no it doesnt sound like a good deal to me, why... because they dont fit. below are stock offsets, if you do get the spacer/adpater you will effectively be a +7 front and rear.. you will more than likely rub more than a prostitute giving a hand job, i ran 18x9.5 +23 front and 18x9.5+15 in the rear and it was dang near perfect that is pretty much the norm (some run 18x10.5 +15 rear) it also requires rolling the fenders in the rear for both 9.5 and 10.5. my fronts rubbed the top upper fender liner screw, so you being .70 inches out from the centerline in the front will cause issues, and .27 inches further out rear.. unless you have stupid camber gang retard settings, you will prob will not only need to roll the fenders but also pull them. not to mention to get the retarded camber, you will need parts that chik-fila wages prob wont cover
with your very limited driving experience, you dont even need to worry about racing slicks or whatever tires are making your dick hard. you should focus on not Dugan'ing the car
Performance/Touring - 18x8 - 30 offset
Track - 18x8-30 front, 18x8.5-33 rear
