245/45ZR 17 95W in the front.
255/40ZR 17 94W in the rear.

Will these size tires fit on the stock 17" wheel and not be too stretched out and look funny? I have a guy that will sell me these tires CHEAP if they fit. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I know absolutely nothing about wheels and tire size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are the 17's 8" wide?

jehamilton_98

I do not have a clue. They are the stock 17" wheels on a 2004 350z...

i think a website says they are 17x7.5
your tires might look chunky (as in tires might be wide for rim)
unless you like that kind of look

jehamilton_98

Well, I dont want chunky where the side wall sits at a big angle... Crap.

i thought the 17's were 8 inches all around? if so they will work ok.

jehamilton_98

Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about wheels and tires... I will look it up. If the stock wheels are 8" wide these tires will or will not work? I have two conflicting opinions....

jehamilton_98

Stock front 17" wheels on a 2004 350Z are 17x7.5.

Stock rear 17" wheels on a 2004 350z are 17x8.

So, with this new information, do you think these sizes will fit?

Stock 17's are 7.5" front, 8" rear. The widths are OK, but you need to run a 255/45 in the rear. A 255/40 will be noticably smaller in diameter than a front 245/45.

they will

So if I just use the 245/45ZR 17 95W in the rear will that work?

245/45ZR 17 95W in the front.
255/40ZR 17 94W in the rear..

The front tires are taller than the rear. Is there any particular reason you want to do this? Or are you just trying to be original?

jehamilton_98

No, actually I did not notice that they were taller in the front until after I posted the question. I would only use the 245/45ZR in the rear for my rear set.

245/45 17 will fit a 7.5 wide, but won't be optimal.
255/45 17 will fit a 8 wide, but also won't be optimal
