Default Wheel Encounter

so im lookin to get this set.. will they fit ?

specs are:
Size
18x8
Bolt Pattern
5x100, 5x112, 5x114.3, 5x120
Offset
40
Hub Bore
73.1

i went to: http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...LOSS%20FINISH)
and as you can see they will filter the wheel under the car you have.. is what they choose really the correct fit meaning when you reciecve them you can just bolt them on? seems to easy also i believe that the price includes tires as well meaning they are premounted on rims?

No, actually they would be tucked in too far.

Also, 8" rim is too narrow, especially for the back. Need at least 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the back (with offsets in the 15 to 30 range), otherwise there's no point to changing from stock rims.

Yo Nuts, you have questions, it appears, since you're putting up multiple threads on this stuff. Best thing you can do is hunt around, look at people's wheels, check their sigs and posts to find out their sizes/offsets if you want ideas/recommendations. Here's the rim/tire combo size thread: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/203755-will-these-tires-work-with-my-vdc-enabled-car-read-here.html; here's a reference for rims to get you started: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/254081-wheel-thread-index.html; this stuff has been asked/answered many times, so people aren't going to be too accommodating to your questions... good luck
