Default 350z nismo rims on a sc400

I know a guy that lives about an hour away from me. he has a 350z Nismo and he recently got some aftermarket wheels. he's selling the oems for a very cheap price and I was wondering how they fit on the car. they are staggered with 18x9.5 rim on the front and a 19x10 inch rim on the back. offset is +30 on both. I have looked at the wheel fitment guide for the SC 400 and it doesn't have anything close to this. these rims are kind of in the middle from what everybody else has done. The rims are a little chewed up but it is nothing that bondo and paint cannot fix

The offsets are kinda wonky but I say bolt them up man. Worst case at that price, you can just get your money back from someone else. I'd say almost any 300/350Z driver would pick them up from you. Kinda like how we are always after supra wheels, they are after those. It's a win/win for you.

What do you mean by wonky? Do you mean that the wheels will stick out too much because I've seen people with the same setup but with lower offsets and all they had to do was roll the fenders.
Or do you mean there may be some clearance issues with suspension members?

No I meant wonky like 18" and 19" staggered, I've never been a fan of it. I doubt you'll have physical fitment issues, I'm sure they'll bolt on without touching suspension. Being a +30 the front are going to be sunken in a tad but not bad at all depending on your taste, nothing a 5 or 10mm spacer cant fix. I don't know what to expect with the rear honestly, being a 19x10" wheel its going to fill the wheel well nicely but I would recommend another 5-10mm spacer and will def need a roll and pull with the spacer installed.

My front wheels are 17x8 +30 and they're perfectly flush. Offset doesn't tell the whole story, of course, but I wouldn't expect these to be sunken in.

The rims do looks nice.. the seller should've cleaned washed the brake dust off before takening the photo. The problem I have is the stagger size/unable to rotate tires and the rears will wear out faster costing more money in the long run.

Yeah it will be more expensive but its not a big deal. I just want it to look good and have something to work on. I RARELY drive my personal car because i have a company vehicle. I found these and i was thinking i could use these to teach myself how to use bondo....and if they look good then i will rock them. I was just wondering if they fit. But yes tires will be expensive in the long run. Good point! Thanks!

Let me see if I can help you out. I had some free time to photoshop it and this is what I came up with. IMO, doesn't look too shabby
