Default Looking for wheel help.

Ok so i'm looking to get the Z sideways as a side hobby at the local drift events but I don't wanna torcher my stock wheels, or the after market set in the garage. So I have a girlfriend who has stock 08 Altima coupe wheels from her car that she sold a few weeks ago. Anyone ever run these on a Z, I know the lug pattern is the same but dont wanna scoop em up if they wont sit half way decent on my car? Pics? Information?.....

Ps. Yes I searched lol

You will need very large spacers, just buy a set of $500 XXR wheels or some other crap wheel to beat up.

Those are small spacers compared to what you will need

16 or 17s? Altima stock sizes are better suited for a Honda. +45 x7.5 width even with a 27mm spacer it'll look like garbage.

offset doesn't matter much if you're only using them for track wheels. Their sizes and widths won't do you any justice though. If you don't have Brembos, then you can go 17's. If do, it gets a bit sketchy.

Any 18 inch wheels will do. Search your local craiglist for used stock wheels..nissan and infiniti. A solid choice amoungst local fare are MB Battles. Those with a set of used tires'll tighten you right on up for weekend duties.

Stock wheels are really cheap and can be found really easily, just use those rather than the narrow Altima wheels
