Default OEM Wheels from other vehicles for a 350z

Does anyone know of any other cars that you can take the wheels off and bolt on to the 350? I know all about the traction control potentially getting messed up but I'm not concerned about that right now. A vehicle list would be great(if even possible)

Virtually every Ford or Chrysler car from about 1950 to the present day has the correct bolt pattern. I also think Toyotas, Tiburons, and Kias have the correct pattern. That doesn't mean those wheels will look good, only that they will fit.

Thats about it, you can't even interchange other 350z wheels among different 350zs. Also, the wider ones go in the front.

Why would you want to replace stock Z wheels with other stock wheels?

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that you can swap infiniti wheels to the Z. I feel like I've seen that on the internet somewhere. Maybe older Nissans? i'd check to make sure tho.

Thanks for telling me all the vehicles that have 5x114.3 wheel bolt pattern: Not what I asked

I don't own stock wheels. I have 20" wheels and I'm looking for a cheap set to put on temporarily to drive across the country when I move. The roads here are terrible.

So has anyone ever installed a set of stock rims on their 350 that was from another vehicle and they fit properly around the calipers/discs?

OEM 17's and OEM wagon wheels can be had for under $200 , sometimes with tires. Cheap and easy solution. I would just drive on the 20's , if you screw them up , who cares. Replace them with nice wheels when you get across country.

Lol I care obviously. Ill have enough expenses with the move so tagging on an extra $1000+ for something i can avoid would be stupid. Anyways ill have to try rims out myself off other vehicles to see if they'll fit. Thanks.

Alot of wheels will fit from different cars, but the issue is to see which ones clear the brakes. I think you should just try to find used Z oem wheels for cheap. Check craigslist as well as this forum. I got 04 Touring wheels with snow tires for $200!!

No attitude problem here. When I get attitude, I give attitude. If its not useful input, keep it to yourself.

SQualz- Yeah thats exactly the problem. I'll try out a few different wheels from other cars. Thanks for the comment

OEM wheels from another car other than a 350. For example, can I take rims off of a maxima and bolt them up to my 350? Im looking for a quick cheap set of rims/tires that I can get locally from another car.

Maxima wheels would probably be best.

But as I said before, I would look into used oem 350z wheels. You could put snow tires then have dedicated winter and summer tires, especially since you're in canada. Since the winter is over I am sure people are selling there winter sets for dirt cheap.
