Default 15" wheels on 08 350z
I'm trying to find out if I can use 15" wheels on my 08 350z. Since 2 tires & wheels can cost more than a bit of $$$$, I'd like to be sure. There are also many type & fits of 15" wheels. Anyone here actually used & can recommend some brands & styles.
Thanks

15 inch wheels are well covered in the drag racing forum.

As long as you don't have brembo's you can....I assume this is what you want to mount your slicks on? I ran 15's on the back w/o issue. You just need to make sure you get the correct bolt pattern, offset, and backspacing.

Did you use Weld wheels? Model? Even the tech guy wasn't sure. I don't want to buy a set of 15" slicks & wheels only to find out they don't fit. 08 might hae different brakes set up than sime older ones.

Yes, I used welds. +25 offest, 5x4.5" bolt pattern, and 5.5" backspacing. Keep in mind this was with only an 8" wide wheel. I still ran the 275/50/15 MT DR's without issue, and it is a common set-up.

No, I used the lugs from weld. They are fairly long closed end lugs. I just checked them every few runs or so.
