I bought a set of 350z wheels. they are 17x7 and 17x8 the 7 inch ones have 225 50 17 tires and the 8 inch wide rear wheels have 235 50 17. the tires have a lot of good tread on them and im wondering if they would work on my 240sx.

fit: yes.

do you want: no

Those sidewalls were intended for 350z's and g35's. Get at most 45 sidewall instead. The OD is too large for 240s, it'll mess with your speedometer and add more stress to your engine.
