17" wheels removed from a 2004 350z convertible.

This is an offset set of tires: Front 17 x 7.5" (30mm offset) with Bridgestone Potenza 225-50-17. The rear is 17 x 8" (33mm offset) 5 on 4.5" with Bridgestone Potenza 235-50-17.

My car is a 1999 Q45tAnyone have any pictures of these on there car?

I can tell you they'd bolt right up to a G50 (90-96 Q45), but can't say for sure about the Y33 (97-01 Q45). Some of the Y33 guys should drop in soon.

Yeah, they would, but a little narrow.

I think a better perspective is to look at what tires would fit correctly on them and how would they work? Rears all around would be better.

For 255 tire sections, I prefer at least 8.5" rim width. Best tire would be of 255/45-17 inch dimensions, provided speed and load ratings were sufficient and construction was strong, wear index was low.

I think the stock tires on my T are 225-50-17.Are the stock 17" rims 8"?If so this would be a pretty good deal for this rims and tires for $175.The rears would be a little wider......Mint

The specs for the 99-01 Q45t wheels are identical to the front 350Z 17 inch wheels, 17x7.5+30mm. The base (F)Y33 wheels are 7 inches wide with an offset of +40mm, so installing the 17x8+33 on the rear should present no problems. It would be nice if all four of your wheels were 8 inches wide though. When the time comes to replace your rubber, I'd go with 235/50's on all fours.

I just bolted on 18X8 with a 30mm offset with 255/45/18 on my 97 Q. Rears fit fine and the front 255's would also have fit except that my right front strut is bent and that tire rubbed. I bought 245/45's for the front.I went with 255/45 to improve the ride as this tire is slightly taller than the 245/45. But it didn't work.
