2007 OEM rims on a 2003 fitment
Likely a dumb question, but will putting 2007 18” OEM rims on a 2003 with 18” OEM rims change anything in terms of fitment, handling or anything else?
The only difference between the two are that the 2007 rear 18” OEM's are 8.5" wide with +33 offset, while the 2003 are 18.0” wide with a +30 offset.
Am I correct in assuming that there will be no noticable difference with anything? I much prefer the look of the 2007 5 spoke over the 2003 6 spoke.
Thanks!!

Oooops.... 8" of course. 18" would be highly custom. lol
I was mainly wondering about caliper clearance and the +3 difference in offset, which seems like nothing.
Thanks for confirming!

Mike, you are correct. The Z33 does NOT require the 370Z shanked/washer lugnuts. OEM nuts from your '03 wheels fit the '07 wheels just fine. Added note: By the same token, do NOT use "tuner" lugnuts on OE wheels! Those are for aftermarket wheels that have a different taper configuration ONLY. They will not seat/torque correctly.
