Need some help...

**ItZ MiKe 718** · 06-22-2010

Well my cousin has some ruff racing R279s that he had on his 350z long story short, the z is gone and he's giving me the rims... for free ! I've been looking up offsets, widths, bolt patterns and all that good stuff. There 18 x 8.5 on the front and 18 x 9.5 on the rear (staggered). The bolt pattern is 5x120 tho =( I have a 2007 pontiac grand prix base. I've heard of rolling fenders and having the hub "tapped" not exactly sure what that means. The rims are basically brand new and the tires are too... its costing me nothing to get the rims what can I do to get these rims on my GP? Any kinda advice would be great thanx!

Sell them and then buy some that work and will look better on your car.

**ItZ MiKe 718** · 06-22-2010

i could do that... what if i didnt wanna do that lol are there any alternatives? and how much do you think i could get for them?

**Bio248** · 06-22-2010

i would hope for a set that big youd be able to get at least $1200 out of them.

i would also vote for buying a different set, thats not staggered, and has a better width and offset for our cars.

Sell them... You coul play arround with bolt pattern converters, pulling the fenders etc. to make them fit, but its just cheaper and easier to buy the right set of wheels.

they cant be 5x120

350z have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

and yeah there going to look stupid, cuz Zs have a low offset stock and the aftermarket rims are even lower for them.

I would sell them as a set or try and just sell the 18x9.5 and buy some 18x8.5

**ItZ MiKe 718** · 06-23-2010

I could be wrong, the specs i read online gave me a bolt pattern of 5x120. i'll check the rims tomorrow and give an update, if there 5x114.3 i'll probably just throw them on and see how they look. pics coming soon.. !

**VDV18** · 06-23-2010

Please post pics when you put them on, I want to see this.

Well I took them to a local tire shop... guy took a look and said they'd fit but there gonna stick out a bit. I don't mind it, I actually like the look. Had him mount them for me... took some pics here they are ! tell me wutcha think don't be too harsh

**Perry125** · 06-24-2010

Sell them

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 06-24-2010

I think the wheel gap is too big, and that you should sell them and get the money. But its your car, so do what you want.

**ItZ MiKe 718** · 06-25-2010

had a feeling i wouldn't get good responses lol think 20s would solve it? I'll sleep on it and see how i feel in the AM.

**Bio248** · 06-25-2010

bigger wheels dont solve wheel gap and never will. you need to lower it.

listen to the guy. DROP IT.

**nawarkk** · 06-27-2010

Drop it no joke, you already got the rims for free. Might as well complete the whole set up and get some lowering springs. No joke, it would look so much nicer.

**Odi** · 06-27-2010

Get SSC springs from ZZP, they do the job on the 04+. You might have to roll fenders quite a bit so you wont rub (especially since you have 9.5 wide rim in the back)

**Bio248** · 06-27-2010

i would still just get rid of those wheels. they dont fit correctly and dont look right overall.

**Ridin ON Chrome** · 06-28-2010

I think they would look good with a drop and tire shine..

****. and now I think you should put the 18 x 9.5s all around.

Doesn't hurt to be different, instead of running the same **** everyone else has.
