Most will tell you its a bit overkill...but a 20" wheel fits easily on the 350

Fills the wheel wells VERY nicely, looks very nice...but 20" is getting pretty heavy, if you are going for performance, lighter 19" are better and IMO look just as nice.

19s are perfect, 18s are great too, but 20 and 17 re just out of the car's visual range IMO.

Default 20" Rims

Anyone running 20" or 21" rims on the 350Z. If so, what kind of wheels? Any pics? Also, what is the width of the rim you are using, and have you experenced any runbbing when the 350Z is slightyly lowered?

Thanks ahead of time.

the Z runs 20inch rims just fine from all the threads Ive read. as for 21s... thatd be a first.

be forwarned that the step up to heavy 20" rims will noticably hurt performance in all areas. not saying dont do it, just making you aware. As someone said, 19" rims can be had in a lightweight version, but 20" lightweight really just doesnt exist and to come even close costs obscene amounts.

20" rims tho are gonna set you on some mighty thin tread if you keep the stock outer diameter, if you raise the outer diameter as well, your hurting your gearing even more. and youll effectivily raise the car... just some things to consider.
