As far as I know they bolt right up, I've seen them used. I would get the 18's though and then do the Eibach springs to give it a better stance. Just putting new rims on a car wont lower it though. Its like these damn rice burners that put 85 in. mufflers that sound like lawn mowers going down the street and they think now they have 4 million horsepower. Oh man, I kinda went off there. Good luck man.

Don't forget to realign when you get the new wheels. Just like with any wheel upgrade get a realignment and you might need to get a camber kit.

I installed 17" 350Z wheels and they fit perfect. Here's a pic of my car with stock suspension.

Hmmm...silver rims, silver car. Do we have a theme going here or what? Time to paint the calipers to match now.

I was actually thinkng of getting some aluminum calipers and getting them polished. I'm waiting until I upgrade my brakes though. Originally I wanted to powder coat the rims gun metal but I like the way they looked once I put them on.

Aftermarket or O.E. aluminum calipers? The Nissan calipers were replaced on the early year Z's to cast iron due to warpage problems. With the larger wheels I'd figure you'd want to do a big brake kit of some sort. Brembo seems to be the brand of choice as of late. Although I'd say that Stoptech seems to be gaining.

Actually I'm waiting for Ginn motorpsorts to get some more their 12.75" brake upgrade kits, they are currently sold out. It uses the GTR R34 front rotors and stock Z32 calipers with a relocation bracket. And as far as the calipers, I was thinking of factory aluminum calipers. I don't see how the material of the caliper would have such a drastic effect on rotors warping. It may have been the early '90 model Zs with the thinner rotors that had warpage problems. Check out these kits also:

Actually I thought it was the calipers themselves that were warping not the rotors, since the calipers were also changed. Although I have met ppl with 90 Z's that have not had any problems. <<Shrug>> Oh well.
