Exclamation Yes they fit... and an update on my '03 Silverstone

i remember reading a thread about whether or not 4 aftermarket wheels and tires would fit in a 350z... instead of bumping an 8 year old thread, i just decided to answer it in my own thread along side updating my car.

and yes i was able to fit 4 18x9.5 wheels with tires (255/40 275/40) in my z. both 255 in the passenger seat the remaining two in the trunk. one in the spare tire well and one inbetween the two back speakers and now and update on my car, i finally was able to mount my varrstoens, stock suspension and it actually looks really good. i plan on getting tein s techs when i get somemore money to decrease that wheel gap. hope you like the pics!

I wouldn't dare try to put them in my car. Even if i wrapped them up in blankets i'd still be worried about them scratching or gouging some of the interior. Use your beater or a friend who has a crappy car for stuff like this.

Looks like u still got some room left there for a hydraulic jack and tools for the wheels.

Goodstuff!

Would suck though if the wheels on the passenger side fell on you while making a right turn LOL.

Here was mine, i took out the passenger seat and fit 4 19in wheels and 4 tires un-mounted. Its not that hard to take out the seat either.
