I have a set of 370z 5 spoke wheels I would like to put on my stock 2003 coupe.
They are: 18x8 +43 front and 18x9 +15 rear

Will the offsets work? Will I need spacers to make it look good?
Will 225/45 18 and 245/45 18 be appropriate sizes for stock height car?

I looked for posts with the same wheels and the pictures are gone.

Thanks

I'm running G37 19" wheels, and spacers are definitely necessary. Not sure if 370 wheels are the same but I bet they are.

 

Never mind. I checked the rear wheels on my car and they would poke too much...poke a sorus rex. I put them on CL and will get something Blue Dream approved.

 

LOL WTF??

Don't sell them too fast, they'll work just fine on your car if you put a 30mm spacer on the fronts and install the rears as is. A 9"/15mm offset is actually pretty mild for a coupe rear but would require some serious massaging on a sedan. These would definitely be Blue Dream approved as they look great on just about any car but I'm curious as to what else you think I would dig.........

 

That's what I thought, then I put the rear wheel (no tire) on my car and it looked like it was poked out past the fender. I will get some 30mm spacers and tires...225/45 18 and 245/45 18. At stock height will they rub?

There was an 18" wheel post and you gave the Blue Dream Approval to a coupe with stock 18' 7 spoke sport wheels.

 

Did you lower the car onto the wheel (with wood or something underneath)?
The wheel would go inwards as the suspension compresses. My wheels are almost an inch proud when the suspension is hanging but they tuck perfectly under compression. I checked by pulling the spring out - one bolt work - and jacking that corner suspension up with the wheel on.

 

I did not lower the car with a wheel on a block...Thought about it...didnt to it.
