OEM 350Z wheels fit an FC?

okay...to my knowledge this is what they are:

Fronts are 17 x 7.5 Offset 30mm
Rears are 17 x 8 Offset 33mm

Stock tires, if they come on the wheels, are:

Bridgestone Potenza RD 040
Front 225/50/17
Rears are 235/50/17

My biggest question is about the offset...will those fit propperly? Also, has anyone seen them mounted?

If those offsets are correct, they will fit fine.

I am very skeptical of those offsets, I was looking for the same answer as you a couple of months back. I'll see if I can reconfirm the offsets.

Those are the offsets and sizes listed by Nissan for the stock 350Z wheels.

If people can fit 17x8" 30mm offset Mustang rims I'd expect you'd be able to fit 350Z rims. You'll have to experiment and there might be some limitations for you. I'd suggest the OEM tires might be a problem. I managed to fit the 16x7.5" Mustang rims with 225/55/16 tires. More details: http://www.geocities.com/jeffguilfoil/mustangrims.html

me p-car is still with me. its going to be stored for the winter. since i have been driving my 7 ive gotten quite fond of it and when i drive my p-car i notice how much it needs a new power steering system and other things. hopefully ill get enough money to work on it in the winter. plus maintence on it cost a lot more than the 7.

ditto on the cost. The only thing the porsche saves me is gas money (odd...lol). She's reserved now for trips to and from lubbock to see my girl. Either my supe or bikes go everywhere else.

924's are nice.. I've always liked them. same with the 944 series.

There's an FC in waterloo with what looks like 350Z wheels on it, if that helps out.

Get the last couple issues of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine. All the challenge FCs run used 350z wheels because they are cheap, fit, and perform well.

Plenty of pics in there.

These V8 powered FCs are dominating this thing for the past few years.

I cant seem to find a picture online.
