I know they're front wheel drive, but I've seen a lot af 350Z's with what look like FWD rims and the bolt pattern is the same as the Mazda... PLease let me know as I can get these for very cheap right now...

 

Uhm, plz no, for the love of all other 350Z owners!

 

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

o no, i can smell the uncle bens dont put mazda wheels on a Z.please,thats insulting to the car.

 

Do It....Do It. It'll work. Trust me I know.

 

Mazda6 OEM wheels from 2003-2005 were 17x7 +55(ish) offset. You might interfere with suspension parts and brake calipers at that high of an offset.

I know these things because my previous car was a Mazda6. For all the people bashing on it, there is a whole list of things I liked about that car more than the Z (i.e. interior material quality, factory stereo system, etc.). But yeah, obviously it's FWD and slower than a Z. I definitely wouldn't say I have any regrets about my choice : )

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention that they are not stock rims. Why would I want to put Mazda 6 stock rims on my car? 20x8.5 on 245/30/20 with a zero offset and same bolt pattern as a 350Z. Has anyone ever seen a FWD rim on a 350Z?

 

Whats FWD or RWD have to do with wheels? And you might want ot edit your post then, cause it sounds like you want OEm Mazda 6 rims?

 

OFFSET normally FWD cars has as much higher one than RWD.
soo it would "rub" anywhere (brakes, suspension...etc.)

 

No way the offset was zero on the mazda6 unless it had an insane widebody kit, the stock wheels are 17x7 +60mm, better go check that again

 

SAY IT AINT SO!

 

Wow!

 

Sorry, I thought 0 offset meant no lip at all. The rims are almost flush with the tire. As for the kids in here hating on the fact that I'm puttin 20's on my car, I could care less- I was never a ricer and I bought the car for the looks and style- not to get tickets. If you enjoy rims that only look good to other ricers, thats good for you. I prefer wet panties...

 

Who said anything about hating on 20's in this thread? But anyways.

You cannot fit Mazda offset wheels on a Z. Will it fit? maybe, but it will probably sit inside your fender like 2 inches and rub the **** out of the suspension.

 

the OP needs to figure what the definition of wheel offset is. you only need 3 things to fit a wheel on a car.

bolt pattern
offset
width

 

4 things
you forgot tire size

 

no.
and FWD/RWD has nothing to do with it. just FYI.

 

first thread ftw!

 

lol we all had our stupid threads (i had a few more than others )
