Need some help...

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!
 


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?
 
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
 


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.. !
 
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

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.
 


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)
 
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.
