- Hang on tight to your Tomei's because we are back with
another episode of The Build Sheet and specifically today,
what wheels fit your Nissan 350Z.
(mechanical parts clatter) (suspenseful music)
But of course before we jump in,
I have to hit you with the disclaimer.
(clears throat)
The following wheel specifications require
rolling your fenders at the very minimum.
Other fender modifications may include fender pulling,
modification, complete removal of fender liners,
or requirement of additional specific components.
The following information is brought to you by
426 Nissan 350Z's currently sitting at fitment gallery
at fitmentindustries.com.
(trap music)
(exhales)
(laughs)
So you just picked up your 2005 350Z
and after fighting off the internet
on whether or not your DE is better than the HR,
you take a look at the wheels that are on the car
and realize that it either A: Has the ugliest,
convex style wheels from the early 2000's,
B: Has enough wheel gap to fit all of my waves,
or C: All of the above.
We've been in that position, it's not fun,
but that's why we're here.
We're here to help, that's what we do.
So, when we get into talking about what wheels fit a 350Z,
we are for the most part going
to be talking about a staggered setup.
It's what we see 90% of the Z's in our gallery running.
So moving forward, the following specs
are going to be based around a staggered setup.
Staggered? Staggered. Staggered?
Stay-ggered? Stah-gerred.
We always get made fun of for how we say staggered.
Stay-ggered?
Staggered.
However, if a staggered setup isn't your thing,
we also have plenty of squared setup
Nissan 350Z's in our gallery as well.
Fitmentindustres.com, that's the plug, let's get into it.
So for your 350Z, your boring guaranteed fitment range
is going to be diameters of 17 to 20 inches,
widths of seven and 1/2 to nine, and offsets of 35 to 25.
Wack.

So starting off, if you're looking to do a tucked fitment
or a somewhat semi-aggressive fitment,
a little more on the conservative side,
you're going to be looking at sizes ranging from 18 to 20
inches in diameter with lifts of 9 to 11 inches.
And as far as offset, they're sitting right around
25 to 15, depending on the size and width that you go with.
So, some examples of this fitment include,
but are definitely not limited to:
18 by nine and 1/2 plus 22 upfront
and then 18 by 10 and 1/2 plus 22 in the rear.
A 19 by nine plus 20 in the front
and a 19 by 10 plus 20 in the rear,
and 20 by nine plus 15 in the front
with a 20 by 11 plus 15 in the rear.
Now, if you're looking to get more of a nice,
flushed fitment, or nearly flushed fitment,
we see for the most part that the nine and 1/2 width
almost becomes standard for the front wheels.
With that offset dropping a little bit
into the lower offsets, to push that wheel
out a little more to the outside of the vehicle
to get a bit more of that flushed look.
As far as the rear goes, 10 and 1/2 and 11 inch wide wheels
with offsets dipping down into the 20
and even the plus eight range,
are what you're gonna see.
So some examples of these sevenths include:
An 18 by nine and 1/2 plus 15 up front
with an 18 by 10 and 1/2 plus 15 in the rear,
18 by nine and 1/2 plus 10 in the front
with an 18 by 11 plus eight in the rear,
19 by nine and 1/2 plus 12 in the front
with a 19 by 10 and 1/2 plus 12 in the rear,
and a 19 by 10 plus 20 in the front
with a 19 by 11 plus eight in the rear.
Now, of course, there are the ones
that always take things to the extreme,
so if you like to live on the edge,
get some camera goin' with some stretchy boys,
and wanna play with some really aggressive
offsets and some widths,
we have you covered as well.
There are plenty of aggressive setups
that we see in our gallery.
Some of those setups include:
19 by 11 plus five in the front
with a 19 by 12 plus eight in the rear.
A 19 by 10 negative three in the front
with a 19 by 11 with a zero offset in the rear,
19 by 10 and 1/2 negative five in the front
with a 19 by 11 negative two in the rear,
and finally an 18 by 11 with a negative 10 offset
in the front, and an 18 by 11 and 1/2
with a negative 20 in the rear.
So, the 350Z really does make a fantastic platform
to run a lot of different wheels,
and wheels that come in a variety of sizes,
a lot wider sizes can run really low offset
make 'em great candidates for Cosmis racing wheels,
Enkei RPF1's, for stowin', ESR's,
and pretty much any work we'll imagine,
even the Emitz, which I would've never thought
would end up on a Z of all things,
but damn, do they look good?
All this paired with either lowering springs from Eibach,
tannered BC racing coilovers, or even air suspension.
You can dial in the perfect fitment
for you with your 350Z.
