Default Rim size for 2005 350z enthusiast

Hello I am looking at rims for my 350z enthusiast and I am wondering if 18x8.5 +30 in the front and 18x9.5 +40 in the rear would look good or not please let me know thanks!

No. There are plenty of threads here describing the proper offsets. Read and learn.

Why are there so many of these questions this week? Is the wheel and tire section broken? Hahahahaha.

If you are going for "look" as you worded, no, that setup you mentioned isn't going to look any different than stock. Front is identical to stock, adding 10mm of offset to the rear will just about even out the increase in wheel width.

You want the best sizes? Fine, I feel generous instead of ornery right now (for a change).

18x9.5 +22 front
18x10.5 +22 rear

OR 18x9.5 +22 F&R

Pair either set with 245/40 and 275/40 tires, done.

You could even go more "aggressive" with front and rear at +15 offset but for sure you'll need to roll the rear lips. (The +22s may or may not depending on your car.)

The rest of you lined up to ask the same question for the 6th and 7th time this week, don't.
