Default Whats size spacers should i use?

I just bought a 04 350zr touring. I currently have 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears both +45 offsets that I have from my 02 maxima. I know thay are not ideal, however if I could use them in the mean time, I think they will look nicer than the factory wheels. What size spacers would I need to use to push them out to the fender, if it is even possible to use my old wheels. Thanks.

Put the wheels on the car. How far do you want to move them? Buy some spacers. Problem solved.

Just sell those maxima wheels. It's not advisable using such massive spacers.

If you insist, you most likely need 35mm spacers for that flush look.

HAHA...you're so funny! This is why forums exist, and yes I tried searching but it doesnt seem like many people were trying to put their old wheels from a maxima on their z. Thanks for the advice badkarma. I dont think i want to run 35mm spacers.

Sell the rims. Funning FWD offsets on a RWD isn't great. And running a 30+mm spacer is silly.

15mm spacers for the rear and 20mm for the front.
Get the proper hub-centric spacers.
With either extended studs or spacers that bolt onto the hub and then the wheel bolts onto the spacer.

Sell them and pocket the cash dude.
I know what you are trying to do, but the offset is just too far gone.

get 45mm spacers, or roll your wheels down a hill.

I am planning on running 18x8"(front) with +45 offset using a 25mm spacer(essentially bringing the offset to a usable +20) and running 19x10"(rear) . Staggered widths and diameters. It is possible from what some other guys have told me on this site(thanks again 1nate7). I am just trying to use some wheels I already own to save some chedda. I purchased the matching 19x10's recently to specifically do this. the front wheels are coming off of my lexus is300.

I realize +45 offsets are far off, however I am just wondering what size spacer is needed. If I used a 25mm spacer all around (which doesnt seem too extreme) would that not be similar to a +20mm offset wheel? That seems like a fair comprimise for about $200. I didnt think I would need 45mm spacers, which I dont think even exist. Maybe my math is all messed up but a 45mm spacer would equal 0 offset, and a 35mm spacer would equal a +10 offset (if we were comparing same width wheels) The fact that my maxima wheels are wider (i beleive) at 8.5 front and 9.5 rear should favor me a bit too? 200 bucks sounds alot better than $3000 right now.
