Default FX45 20' rims

Would the FX45 20" wheels fit on the Z? I think it might be cool to see a Z with the FX 20's on it...

No one has thought of doing this or knows if the 20's from the FX will fit on the Z?

Just make sure you dont use the stock FX tires. They are waaaaaay too big.

Definitely you would want to use different tires, and I am sure the FX 20's are very heavy. I was just wondering if anyone has done it that’s all!! And if you are one of those people who buys an automatic sports, car who cares if the rims are heavy your more then likely not worried too much about performance anyway... j/k he he

Hey dkent2 I just got the FX45 same color as in your pic. Thats berylium with the burnt orange. Your right the wheels are pimp but the factory tires wont let me try it on my black touring.My kid was making fun of how small my factory wheels on my Z are when we were washing the Z and the FX next to each other. I will say one thing else about the FX it is rocket they really made a total package suv.I washed my Z and garaged it while I play with the new toy.

I think its a good idea but it may not work for a Z....Here's a pic of them on a G. I'm not sure but I think these are the 20'FX wheels.

Oh yeah My opinion....NICE!!!!! I think the G has more space to play with than the Z. This G even looks like it was dropped... No photochop....

The FX wheels have 8 spokes....you're right. They must've dropped that G about 2 inches and put on some reeally thin rubber. Looks nice though. For some reason these wheels look too large to be stock.

I'm starting to think its a photochop...I think it's crazy to go that thin on tires. It looks like its almost riding on the rim.

Why would anyone want to put truck wheels on a sports car?

I dont think they would look good on a Z. I would love to see a pic of it though.
