Wheels?

[Davestone]

Will these rims fit? I have a friend that is trying to get rid of them. 17 in. x 7 in., 5 x 100mm/4.5 in. Bolt Circle, 5.625 in. Backspace, offset of +42.00mm

5x100mm will not fit, our wheels are 5x114.3.

I'm wondering if the wheels from a 350z will work. I don't know the bolt pattern besides that it is a 5 lug. If it matters they are from a 2004.

if the bolt pattern is multi lug 5x100 or 5x4.5 yes it will fit.
5x4.5 is 5x114.3. nissans and most 5 lug sports/import cars have 5x114.3.
5x100 im pretty sure is volkswagen and i dont know what else.
though the picture shows a four lug wheel.

if you put the 350z wheels on, just make sure the wheels are the same diameter, are the same size tire (if your car is AWD). ive seen alot of 350z's and g35's with bigger back tires. i wanted to buy some used wheels off a 350z before but the tires were like that.

Those look like motegi racing wheels, I just put 18 inch motegis on my 92, they came off of 95 eclipse, just needed to get lug nuts with proper thread and narrow as aftermarket wheels have narrower lugnut holes. cost 30 bucks and look great!

5x100 is mostly what Subaru uses. That pattern appears on the Legacy, most Imprezas, Forester, and Outback.

So I ended up getting some 350z wheels that look pretty sick. Only problem is that they are staggered. Fronts are 17x7.5 and backs are 17x8. When I was putting them on I came to two conclusions. One the back ones don't fit on the back, and wouldn't it be better since I have FWD to have the wider ones on front. Will having staggered wheels mess anything up in the long run, and should I move the 17x8's to the back and just get smaller tires?
Thanks

Since you're FWD having different tire sizes front/rear won't hurt anything. You can run the wider tires in front for better launch but potential oversteer in a corner, or the wide ones at the back for better control in corners, but possibly more wheelspin at launch.

Wider in the back looks cooler.

Hmmm...Think they'd clear the back if you rolled the fenders?

Er...Actually, Id either roll the fenders or try to find someone who'll trade you a half set, so you can use the 7.5's all around, and they'll have 8.5's. I would imagine people would jump on that offer

[Davestone]

I'm just gonna buy different tires. I tried to roll the fenders and it gave me a little more clearance but not quite enough. I'm getting 215/45r17 and they were 235/50r17 in the back and 225/50r17 in the front. I will post some pics of the tires tomorrow once i get them all on and make sure they don't rub.
Thanks for all the input guys

Any rub depends on the offset of the wheels. I know LAN and a couple others are running 255 tires on 8" wide wheels without issues. You need 48-50mm offset for that sort of thing though. Assuming the offset is in the right ballpark, I don't think 235's should cause any rubbing issues.
