Wheel NISSAN 350Z 17" x 7.5". Front wheel probably OEM for 2003 to 2005 but can be used on 2006 to 2009. The 17" use higher profile tires than the 18" and are a better choice for winter tires or roads with potholes. The front and rear rims have the same bolt patterns but are wider in back to acomodate a larger width tire. Also, the traction control requires larger diameter tires on the rears.
Nissan 350Z stock wheels come in two rim sizes:
- 2002-2005 350Z’s used a stock rim size of 17×7.5J ET30 front, and 17x8J ET33 rear
- 2006-2009 350Z’s used a stock rim size of 18x8J ET30 front, and 18×8.5J ET33 rear
Let us dissect this rim size. What does it mean, and what parts should you pay attention to?
7.5J – Rim Width – The first number (7.5 & 8 in this case) shows the rim width in inches.
17 – Rim Diameter – The most crucial part of the rim – the second number after ‘x’ shows the rim diameter.
ET30 – Offset – The stock wheel offset shows how far (inward or outward) the hub mount is from the wheel’s center.
