Hello all,

I was wondering if the following winter tires and wheels would fit my 2013 Nissan 370z touring sports coupe:


VMR Wheels V708 18x8.5 5x112 ET38 Gunmetal
Centerbore to 66.6
4 Tires Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 245/40/18

These were once on my 2010 Audi A5.

Thank You

The PCD, bolt pattern, is different so it will not fit unless you get adapters.

Nissan is 5x114.3 FYI

Thanks for the quick response.

If I do get the adapters, would that setup work fine in the winter?

18x8.5 is kinda narrow imo, especially for the rears

The recommended tires size for winter is 225/50/18 so an 8-8.5" wheel is fine all around. The offset usually sucks on narrow winter wheels but c'est la vie!

I run 350Z 18's for winter, with a 225 24 18 front and a 245 45 18 rear... no problems, yes the rear is way in the wheel well, but it keeps all the road crap in the wheel well, not on the side of my car.

Oh wheels are 8 and 8.5 rear.

Personally, I'd cry if salt ever hit my car. I bought a 2003 cavalier for $2,000 the same year I bought my Z...about the same you're all gonna spend on a dedicated winter wheel/tire setup. Keep the Z's clean and trash something else.
