According to http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

The back and front will fit using stock size tires and clearing suspension/brakes(all stock). What do you guys think?
This is the best guide I have found to date.

BackSpace 147 mm (5.8'') 144 mm (5.6'')
3 mm (0.1'') shorter.

Rim sizes 17x6.5 to 17x9 17x6.5 to 17x9
Circumference 2098 mm (82.6'') 2098 mm (82.6'')
Revs per mile 767.3 767.3
Clearance: Package 1 Package 2
Suspension Assuming that this is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides 100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)
Fenders Package will stick out 16 mm (0.6'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
Wheelwells The same.

 

what is the best looking light weight 18" rims for the 350Z?

 

so has anyone put 17x9 with a 17 offset on the stock suspension?

 

I'm too lazy to go to the site but I don't recall Hiro's being available in 17"?

I thought Only 18 and 19"

 

Yea your right

 

dont worry about it gunmetal and black looks good on ppw.... my ppw good looks on gunmetal but it looks even better on gold....

 

MB Competition 17x9, just lower the car some more and they will look tight. Tires will be way cheaper
I like the Motegi Touge as well. I was thinking 17x9 front and 18x10 in the back. Either of these two might be on my car soon.

 

Any idea on the weight of that MB wheel, and the quality of it? I like the way it looks, but looks can be deceiving.

 

Don't know about the weight, but I know a of few people who have used them exclusively as their track wheels (myself included till I decided not to track the Z anymore). They held up extremely well for me, never had any problems and tire price and selection is awesome. Please don't quote me on this but I believe Enjuku Racing uses them on their competition drift cars - talked to a guy from there a ways back to get some info but am not sure if they still run them. Overall the best bang for the buck that I have found out there in a wheel - great balance of looks, cost, and durability.

 

Well then, which site/vendor did you chose to purchase these from?

 

If you're on a budget, I'd get the 19" forged rays from a G35.

They look great on all Z's and aren't too expensive if you can find someone selling them.

 

The MB is an exclusive Discount Tire wheel. 17x9 5-114.3 27et gm weighs in about 23 lbs. $153.00 per wheel.
