Default 20" RT-7M compatibility

i have a question guys, i was looking around for wheels and i finally found a set i like, the RT-7M's and they have them in the right sizes and everything, and the website had a compatibility little thing where you put in the year/make/model and it tells you if the rims are compatible to your car... and when i put my car info in it said non compatible with this car... is this thing giving me the run around? (03' 350z)

as long the offset is below 30 you are good. A 40 offest is too high for a Z. Look at the sizes on the Falken site to get a idea.

Oh you are smarter than any silly compatibility chart. Buy the wheels. We will figure out how to make them fit.

edit: ^^ agh! B@stard beat me to it haha. jk.

rears may require a fender pull ,
RT7M2060036 20x10 offset + 15 5-114.3

and is the only rear in 20" that youd even want to think about tghat they appear to offer in our bolt circle


fronts are easier:

RT7M2060035 20x8.5 offset +15 5-114.3


Thats it man.

It may need a roll in the rear depending on tire size but it's almost equivalent to a 10.5+22 so it shouldn't.

Sometimes these compatibility charts advise lower offset wheels as to not have issues like mentioned above. Element Wheels is one site that advises super conservative offsets when browsing by car... Browse by bolt pattern, hub and offset. IE: 5X114, +15 thru +24, hub size etc.. Z's can handle up to 9.5 in the front and 11 in the rear without much effort if any at all if the offset is correct and tire is slightly stretched.
