Lowest offset for 18 wheel to fit sport brakes?

mcwoowoo

I have a 370z w/ sport package.
I'm looking for get some dirt cheap 18" wheel and tires to learn drifting. I found some really cheap tires by Nankang for like 70 bucks each new. For the wheels, I'm thinking about getting used G35 or 350z wheels. However I'm not sure if the offsets will for 370z, and I'm hoping if someone can give me some advise.
Here's the specs for the G35 and 350z wheel.

G35 18" v.1
Standard G35 18" wheels
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Rear
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm

350z Touring 18" v.1 2003-2005
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Rear
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm

I think the rear should be ok, but I'm worried about the front wheel offset might not fit over the sport brake.

And advise would help. Thanks =)

I cant remember the offsets, but I believe any rim that came off a G35 or 350Z with Brembos will more than likely fit. I also believe that the second version of the G35 rim (05-07 about) will also fit and were forged as well. It was the twin 5 spoke version.

Go to the my350Z site and look in the private for sales. They have more things for sale there than in here.

Good luck.

Thanks. I think those twin 5 spoke version ones are in 19, so those won't for my case.
I found the 35z/G35 wheel spec here.

Seems like all of the front wheel offsets are 30mm, including the ones that fit Brembo brakes....

Sorry you were right about the G35 forged version.

Worse case scenario though...you could use a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers. Though its mostly the design of the spokes that make or break the clearance issues for the calipers. Offsets are partly for asthetics on how it will look in regards to the "stance".......well.....over simplifying it a bit...but you get the idea. =)

I found a set of used 350z wheels for $120, guess I'll just have to test it out my luck on the design. =P

So how did this work out for you, im thinking of doing the same thing and also making them my winter shoes.

you might need spacers on the front, might not. I do know that a rear 350Z wheel fits the front perfectly. On the rear, a rear 350z wheel needs a 15-25mm spacer.

These are 4 rear 350z wheels that I had widened to 9.5", but widening was to the inside, so unwidened would look exactly the same. No spacer in front and 25mm in rear.
