Wheel Spec's Help
howdy guys.....ok so i have a 03 350z with the 18'' rims and i have a couple questions. i want to order new rims and i have the specs on those wheels but curious to know if they would fit my car. they are 18x8 (the whole set) with an offset of +32mm and a center bore of 73mm. the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 My car is a touring, non-brembo edition. i couldnt find specs on the stock wheels whether the front was 18x8 and the rear 18x8.5. any help will be appreciated.....because im noob when it comes to the sizing of tires.

also......since the electronic valve stems are on the stock wheels, is there a way to transfer over the stem to a new set of rims so it still reads the psi???

your stock wheels are 18x8 +30 so your new set of wheels will be similar. However they are going to be as tucked as the OEM wheels and you won't be able to run any wider tires on that size. You should really look for wheels the are +20ish and a little wider. Staggering is optional but you should move up to at least a 9.5 in the rear

The install shop will swap out your tpm sensors -- if not, here's the fix: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension-diy/30147-designed-a-way-to-mount-tire-pressure-sensor-to-any-wheel.html
Also, you're about to get hit by the tire/offset calculator flames. (I'll try to head them off for you): http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos & http://www.motegiracing.com/techzone...me=wheeltech4#. Watch out for the search police...
