quick noob question about mounting new wheels
i recently just got the 370z sport rims with the stock bridgestone re050 tires. i want to mount them on asap but im a noob when it comes to most stuff. when replacing all 4 wheels do i need to do anything extra like balancing, aligning, etc? or can i just jack the car up, unbolt the old wheels, and put these on? thanks

i take it your putting the 370 wheels on your 350, well first you need to buy new front tires, you will probably also want some spacers.

why do i need front tires? i read numerous threads about people putting these wheels on their 350z and nobody mentioned anything about putting new front tires. im also aware about the spacer issue, but for right now im just wondering about how i go about putting them on.

Step 1: Take old wheels off
Step 2: Put new wheels on
If you can't safely jack a car up, remove lug nuts, swap wheels, and torque the lugs back down you should probably just take them to a tire shop. I have no faith that you wouldn't kill yourself. On second thought...J/K
But seriously, whats the hold up? Have you never done this?

As Dave pointed out, if you have a TPMS on your Z you will also need to have the sensors installed in the new wheels. You'd want a wheel and tire shop to perform this.
