Yes, but the front offset (35mm) is Terrible. Try looking for something say around the 20mm offset.

domsaywha

why would 35mm be terrible in this case?

Are the wheels even for a Z? I wouldn't even bother because the setup is going to look even worse than stock. The offset in the front and the rear are uneven by a huge margin.......Also, depending on the tire size that comes with the wheels, might potentially confuse the VDC if your car is equipped with it.

06' Stock wheel specs:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18


Use that. Plug in stock wheel specs and new wheel specs. It will tell you how much further the wheel will stick out, or be sunken in. With a 35mm offset it will look just about the same as stock. The rear wheels offsets are good though, although if you want the flush look you should look for a 19x10.5 +20ish, or 19x9.5 +10...15ish

I'd pass on those wheels.

Gotcha, but does 35 mean its more in than a 20 or does it mean it sticks out more?

lol, yes these will definitely fit your car...but they will look really wimpy looking.

35 means its more in, i guess, compared to a 20, that is if its a +30 and not a -30.

The middle of the rim is 0. lower numbers= larger deep dish look. The higher the number, the more the barrel of the rim is move inwards toward the car. Hope that helps.

If you like them and the price is right, spend 80 bucks on a pair of hubcentric 15mm spacers for the front.

domsaywha

hmm i have no idea how spacers work. but im still a little confused about the 35mm offset. Does that mean the rims are sticking out of the car more or sticking in of the car more? Does anybody have a specific comparison of pictures? =/ im lost still ..

Wheel Offset Definition:



Offset

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).*

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

domsaywha

err.. so does 35mm mean it sticks outwards more than 20mm?

This is an incorrect statement. Stock wheels are very close to his front offset.

Obviously you did not use the calculator above.
