The 350/370z club is a great place to hunt for widebody FD wheels.

check out RIMTUCK.com - Wheel Fitment Database

enter your car, wheel sizes, and it'll bring up other people who have done the same setup and you can get an idea of what kind of fitment you are looking for. if you find what you like on stock fenders just subtract 25 from the offset (i'd recommend 20, aftermarket fenders arent always 100% on size)
