Thinking of Purchasing These Wheels
Well atleast in my budget
buying these tomorrow at a GOOD price regardless if it fits or not. they are 5x130 295-45-19
is there an adapter to fit 5x130 to 5x114.5? googled this site and i dont see it listed
http://billetwheeladapters.com/5-lug...?mode=grid&p=5
if so im guessing they stil wouldnt fit without a proper wide body kit. Suggestions ideas?

Not that I'm recommending it, but it looks like there are wheel adapters out there. The ones that I saw via google were listed as 5x130 to 5x4.5 adapters instead of 5x130 to 5x114.5 adapters.
But because at face value this doesn't look like a good idea, I have to ask -
1) What is your budget?
2) What is the offset on those wheels?
3) Are they 295 up front as well?

2) he doesnt know
3) no they are smaller in the fronts
so you saw the same as i had seen 5x130 to 5x4.5 but nice the other way around. 2nd question to ya- he is selling coil overs off his 911 turbo as well. Coilovers are pretty universal correct? if not do you think i could get those coilovers on my zed?
this site looks kinda shady. hoping to get some expert help here

Dude, you can get some properly matched wheels and tires for under 1k if you're patient and shop around.
Especially since you don't know the offsets and you're going to have to run adapters, etc. - then probably a separate spacer - it just doesn't sound like a good idea at all to me.

coilovers off a 911 for your Z? oh dear God, save your money and wait OP..

You do realize that a 911 has the engine in the back and the spring rates would be completely different due to the difference in weight distribution on a 911 versus a 350Z, right?
I'd suggest you talk to some of the folks in the Z club there in Tampa. There are some folks that can lead you down the right path. Just because a guy is selling parts off his 911 cheaper than you can find for your Z doesn't mean they will work or that it's a good idea.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you ought to hold on to your money and either find a trustworthy shop, or read and learn a lot more before you start modding your car.

Just my $0.02 worth, but I would avoid the wheel adapters big time!!! I have used them once before (not on a Z) and they were nothing but trouble. Keep shopping around and you'll eventually find a deal on something much more suitable for your Z. I just bought a set of NISMO LMZ5's new in the box (staggered set) yesterday for $800. Ya, that's about 1/2 to 2/3 of the normal price, but the point is there ARE deals out there --- especially if you will consider used wheels too. Some of these guys change wheels like normal people change underwear, which means there should be plenty of sets of lightly-used 350Z wheels out there. Just be patient and keep digging. And as to the 911 coilovers --- I won't go into that other than to say that they would be a very bad idea. Yes, they may physically fit the car, but the ratings would be all wrong due to the weight distribution of a Porsche. better to spend a bit more and get a good set that are made specifically for your 350Z.
The wheels and coilovers are meant for a different car. Don't do it OP, your Z deserves better. Be patient and check out the Marketplace, it's only a matter of time before you find a better set of wheels with tires.
i didnt even think about the weight distribution factor on motor placement. Coilovers are out thanks to all you who put in contructive criticism.
I will still be purchasing these rims and tires as an investement towards better rims and tires. price im getting them is outrageously cheap.

+1 what Ruthless said...but if you do want adapters these are the best guys around http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_adapters.html
Just buy the 7series bmw rims i seen them go for 1k-1300 with tires and adapters, i even found a pair for 400$ on CL they are a million times better looking then these. I would not pay a dime for those rims unless they were given to me for free good luck op.

OP how can you be on this forum for for over two years and not list the specs of the WHEELS and only the tires?
Complete waste of time until you find those specs, wheels are not attractive at all anyway....
