Default Wheel Offset Question

I ruined two of my cheap aftermarket wheels and my insurance company can't find an exact match. I'm wondering what is the max and min offest allow on a 350z without installing spacers or doing anything special



The ones they found are 18x8 with an offest of +40. I don't think they'll fit.

Thanks ahead for any help

There's not much you could get for $1k. Try Rota.

I'd say for a grand, your only hope is stockers or Rota. Better than nothing!

Get a set of '07, '08 stockers. IMHO, they are a great looking wheel. The fronts are 8" and the rears 8.5". The offsets are +30 in front and +33 in the rear. If you have $1K to spend, you'll have money left over

I can get you a set of Wheels for 1000. YOu will need tires though. I may be able to squeeze in rear tires within that price too. I would have to check. PM me. I will give you my shop phone number

I just looked at what I have in inventory. I have a set of 20" Drifz Jade R's in stock I can do for under that price. 20x8.5 w/+25 offset for the front... 20x9.5 w/+40 or +25. Either way I can hook it up. Tires I can hook up a good rice on too...

Freudian slip!

Typical offset for aftermarket wheels is +20. Much higher or lower than that and you will "need" spacers or get into fender rolling and/or stretched tires territory.

The OEM 8.0 inch wheel has a 30 mm ofset. Go 20 to 30 mm.
