I don't know the offset , but with the proper size front tires it would probably look cool .

Why not just buy some aftermarket wheels that look better?

You can probably pick up a used wheel/tire combo for cheap, but you'll need a pretty large spacer up front. At least 15-20mm

i can get a set of these for about 1600 its not a bad price to pay to have nice factory like ride.. plus i can put a 285/35 out back. that and some spacers and it will sit very nice.

Personally i think the 370z sport package wheels are one of the best attributes of the 370z, and would look really classy on a 350z.

In terms of offset (compared to 06+ touring wheels), the rear wheels would have 16mm less clearance on the inside, and be pushed out 22mm towards the outside of the car. The front wheels would have 30mm less clearance on the inside, and be sunken in 4mm towards the inside of the car.

I think the wheels look good- the price for them should only go down as more 370 owners upgrade their stock sport wheels. I'm all about spacers and an OEM look- call me ghetto, but I say go for it.

Or a 30 for that matter... wonder if that will be pushing them out too far. Not sure how the increased width factors in on these wheels.

For 1600, you can get a nice set of Enkei's, Work or a used set of Volks... that have proper offsets.

whoops, i meant to type 25mm+. but the sound of running 30mm spacers starts to sound unsafe for me for some reason.

The 370z wheels are going for 1300 or LESS including tires, you can't even find a set of rotas in 19" fitments with tires, let alone forged wheels made by rays engineering

Word is that they fit unless you have the factory brembos, so the spacer is really just for looks - then again, you have plenty of people running spacers on stock wheels without any complaints.

Default 370 RAYS Wheels on a 350

I just got some RAYS wheels off the 370 and installed them onto my 350. They look pretty sweet and I definitely will be posting pics tomorrow. I had to get 20mm spacers for the front to make them fit. The fronts seem to have about a perfect gap between the fender and the tire (almost looks lowered), but the rears have too much gap for my liking. How would the rears be different from the front? Also, I reused my old lug nuts from the 350 wheels and they seem to be working themselves off. I just drove around the block or so and they were coming loose. I tightened them and drove a little bit more and they seem to be doing it again. Any idea why that is? Hopw to have pics tomorrow.
