Default Smallest rims for snow tires

Hey guys,
do 16" rims with 215/60/16 snow tires fit on non-tracpack 05 Z's? There is a great deal on a set of used ones off a G-35 and I wanted to make sure this was a good fit.
thanks!

Hey berto, I think I'm running the same size. It's only the offset you might have to worry about. I think mine's like +40 or something and it still clears the brakes. but looks disgusting and sunken in.

If it's off a G35 coupe, then it should fit no problem.

Just went to my garage and checked.
Exact same tire size. No clue of offset, it's one of those silver 5 spoke steelies that you see on a lot of cars.

But it's PRETTY damn sunken in, i hated it to the point that I was thinking about running summer tires in winter LOL

spacers are an option to reduce the sunk in look. i required them for my 17s to clear my brembos and use spacers for my tracks rims too.

great! I hate that look Maybe it won't snow this year !
Anyone selling used 17's with snows? I am looking at a budget of around $700 max. That set of 16's is only $500 (used one year) with Toyo's.

Try kijiji.com. Sift thru all the crap and you'll find a sweet deal. Def try one rim on front and back to see if there is clearance between the callipers. The wheels flex under hard cornering so you want extra gap.
