Making a 4 Lug 20" wheel \ rim fit on an 04 350z
I know this isnt the best way to go, but due to certain circumstances, I am determined to get the following setup to work and wanted to get some advice. I did try searching the forum for this topic first, but was unable to find anything \ likely because this is a rather "silly" thing to do for lack of better words. I have these 20" wheels that I have measured and determined will fit (same tire height as the stock actually, extremely low profile) all other measurements seem to be within the tolerance. HOWEVER, as it is blatantly obvious, the 4 lug wheel is not going to fit. To my knowledge, the best way to get this to work would be to either find a 4 lug hub that will fit the car, or make an adapter plate (which I believe I can easily do as I run a machine\steel fabrication shop). My question(s) to you (BTW, thx in advance) is what do you think the best way to go about mounting these wheels is (besides NOT mounting them). Is there a pre-made adapter plate for this type of venture? Or some other option I am totally missing? as I am sure you may have guessed, my knowledge on the subject is somewhat limited. I have attached some pictures of the wheels laying up against the car to get an idea of how it would look. There is also a closeup of the rim so that perhaps someone can see the pattern and point me in the right direction (FILES ATTACHED). If you can help, and need me to take some measurements, I would be GREATFULL for any assitance you could provide. I just really love these wheels (even though they are dirty) and would love to get them on my car...Thank you!

I would think you could use adapters..
I'll offer you a piece of advice-I don't have the sickest Z on the site, but I have learned a lot form some ppl here. I had chrome 20s a year ago when i got my Z. They fit ike crap but I was happy as hell to have some wheels. i sodll them and went back to stock and never looked back due to the performance increase. You should do some research on offsets and width/lip size for our car. You can sell those for maybe 700-800 on Ebay or maybe even here adn save another 500 and get something that will look ten times better.
Of course this is just my opinion, but it's your car so you do what makes you happy. We're not going to be riding next to you everywhere you go.

Hey, those are the same wheels that JetPilot runs! hahaha just kidding Jet. 
If you were local I would seriously consider GIVING you my wheels just so you wouldnt do that to a Z.
Good luck with your project, however it turns out.

How about you dont put those ugly *** ghetto wheels on a 2 seat sports car. You want heavy and ugly chrome wheels get a car they would look good on .... like 1993 Chevy caprice.
Lay off the meth.

Maybe you should have asked before you went and bought ugly *** ghetto wheels that dont fit the car.
