18" wheels for 04 sedan

Alright, im trying to find a set of 18" wheels i can run on my sedan. Yeah i know, pretty obvious question, HOWEVER, my sedan has the akebono BBK on it. So i need to find a set of wheels that clears the BBK and still fits on the sedan and doesn't look half bad. Ideally i would like to run a square set up for rotation purposes.

I've read that the Enkei NT03 in an 18X9.5 with a +27 offset clears the brakes on the 370z but i am not sure about them fitting on an 04 sedan up front.

Thanks in advance!

Coupe 18's all the way. Great quality wheel, simple design, lightweight and clears all BBKs.

Looks great Tim. Imho they are the best looking oem rims on a sedan. I used to have those too. Again, I'm sorry to see what you were goin' through.

The great and mighty Adler makes an appearance.


Thanks brother, I'm shifting my focus to a set of chrome coupe 18s to replace the Gravis1s. I'm loving the ride too much to go back to 19's.

i like both of those, but with wanting to run a square set up will the rear wheels clear the front bbk? since the rears are wider i would like to run 4 rears all around.

She's on a square setup(18x8.5 +25), just staggered tires. Too bad you're not local, I have an extra set of the 350z v.1 track Rays

Coupe 18's will fit over a Rotora BBK (6/4)? I didn't think they would. I'm guessing coupe 19's would fit over a Rotora BBK as well? Sorry to thread-jack.

I run a square tire size on the 18's even though the rears are wider and I rotate them. Difference is hardly noticeable.

are the v1's clearing OEM brembos? The guy i bought my car from said he tried to fit the V1's over the akebonos and the front wheels didnt clear the caliper, this is why i was wondering if the rears cleared the fronts.

I've got these on my G35X non staggered with 245/40 R18 Yokahamas. Had these cheap-o wheels on for about 5 years and they're fine. Cheap to replace if you mess one up.

even cheaper in black
