kinda urgent wheel question
i plan to pick these rims up if i can get them before they are gone. thats why its an urgent question. but before i buy these i have a question. does anyone know if these are going to be sucked in really far or if they are going to be pushed outside of the fenders. the fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5 and they come stock on the 350z roadster. thanks

The way it'll look on our cars won't be too much different then the stock 17" or 18" G35 wheels. Lets put it this way, it won't be any where close to being flushed.
If you ask my opinion, I would pass on it. The rims are repainted (not professionally but spray painted, you can tell by one of the pics) and as such they will chip very easily, the tires are worn and one of the rim is bent. Also these ones are god awful heavy (~25lbs which is ridiculous for 18"). Also the widths on those rims are 8.0 and 8.5.

those arent the ones ill be picking up. thats just the only add i could find for them. i also fogot to mention that i have a sedan not a coupe. does that make a difference on how far they will be pushed out? do you know if they came in a 9.5 at alll? cuz the guy im talking to says they are 9.5 in the rear

The ones that are close to those measurements are either the ones that came on the later track models (9" and 10") or the one that came with the nismo edition (9" and 10"). All of the other 350z wheels are all 8.5" or smaller.
The sedan will make a difference but I'm not too sure of the offset on them. You might have to wait until someone with a sedan comes in. Either way I'm pretty sure it still won't sit very flush. If you really love the wheels you can always get a spacers. GL.

Not knowing the offset means we cant help and you not being able to tell us the exact wheel (is it OEM nissan or aftermarket?) means we can't help. All I can say is that if these wheels were meant for the coupe, they're offset will be greatly augmented once put onto a sedan. The sedans run higher offset values than the coupe, so if these wheels are fit for a coupe it may stick out more than you anticipated.
IF...IF they are OEM coupe wheels from the 350Z, they will fit the sedan pretty well actually. How well depends on the exact style. The OEM Nismo wheels would actually be pretty aggressive in the rear and close to flush, but still tucked in the front. The 35th anniversary style 5-spoke wheel will fit fine, but fairly tucked still for both front and rear (same wheel in your provided link, but they are not the size you referenced).
Give us the info for the exact wheel and we can help you out in more detail.
"18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5 and they come stock on the 350z roadster" do not exist on any OEM nissan car...ever, so you must have the wrong info or you are not buying OEM wheels.
