Default Will these fit my 350z?

I have been looking around for some wheels and came across this. I want the black with polished lip style and found these. I know under fitment it only lists BMW series, but wanted to know why it can't fit a 350z? What limits a wheel from being on any other car? Is there a design on the wheel that limits it to a certain make? Please let me know, thanks.

No, the offsets are terrible and they won't even bolt up. Look for wheels around 20 and less and not on ebay.

lol didn't see the offsets till now. But thats not what I was asking. Im not interested in this particular wheel, I just wanted to know why some wheels are not compatible with other cars. The link posted above was just an example of why it won't fit the z.

In his defense, i'm not spending more than 1000 on wheels for my Z.

Do i like the ones he picked? No... but i cant justify spending 2-4K on something that will just get bent, scrapped, dented, or discolored.

I daily drive my Z, so if you have a garage qween wearing shoes like that by all means have fun. But for 4k (the price of the GT-Cs i once wanted) I'm right on my way to getting a supercharger or the like.

Just do what makes you happy and forget the rest. Wheels are all a matter of opinion, some will like your taste some will hate it. That's just how it is, and I can tell you from my time here, that majority of the people on the boards will eventually tell you to stick with Rays, Volks, iForged, Gram Lights, etc and so on.

So unless you're just looking to get flamed, i wouldnt even ask.

There is no such thing as BMW wheels or 350Z wheels or Corvette wheels. There are just wheels. Google "bolt pattern." Be an informed shopper.

wow i will say this again. I am not looking to buy wheels on ebay, nor am I looking to buy any kind of wheels right now. I was mainly using the ebay wheels as an example as to why some wheels will not fit on other cars. And the only real answer I got was from terrasmak, who suggested looking up my bolt pattern. I guess this is the answer to my question since everyone else went on useless rants about shitty wheels and buying from ebay.

Some members have $4,000 to spend to wheels. Others $400. Makes little difference to me just get the proper wheels for your car: http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/Wheels_and_Tire.php

Bolt pattern = 5x114.3

that's what you should be looking for... stock offsets on most of our wheels are +35... so depending on you wheel size and width, your offsets will fluctuate.

Example:

My rear wheel is 19x9.5" with a +25 offset, if you decide to push your offset closer to 0, depending on how low you sit, you might have to make body adjustments (fender rolling) or camber adjustments (negative camber), so that you do not incur problems with rubbing.


Quick Reply: Will these fit my 350z?
