If you've ever wondered...

What 350Z wheels look like on an MKII, here ya go... kind of.

Trying to fit them on: (The front is just haging there. Didn't clear the spring)

How it sits now:

Super flush

The only down side :/

My dad is gonna go to a tire shop and see if 215's will fit the front wheels. But does 215 clear the springs or rub?

P.S. I spent no money on this, My dad repo'd a car that had these wheels on them.

Those are 18's? And how much do they weigh?

David · 08-04-2009, 04:46 PM

Yeah, 18. Not sure how much they weigh, but after I was done putting them on, I moved the 14's out of the way, and they felt like feather's. I need to weigh them sometime.

Medusa · 08-04-2009, 04:48 PM

Oh god if they are that heavy then you'll kill your gas mileage and handling.

Personally, I've always cared more about handling and function over looks, but those are some good looking wheels.

David · 08-04-2009, 04:53 PM

It just looks like a donk because of my crappy camera phone. Looks soo much better irl. Deffinately worth it if I get front tires that will clear everything.

jc5spd · 08-04-2009, 07:56 PM

id rather roll proud with my 14's..
couldnt live with myself if i would add that much more weight.

but hell its free

Maruki-kun · 08-04-2009, 09:22 PM

didn't you sell the 2?

oh, and if you get 215's, it would have to be 215/30/18 or similar, so get 205/35/18

David · 08-04-2009, 09:42 PM

Thanks. I didn't really sell the MR2. My dad owns a used car dealer, so he's constantly going to auctions, and he got a 240 at one of them, so I told him I would trade him, so now the MR2 is his, and the 240 mine. I still work on it, and detail it, and do mechanical work on it. But now I get money for doing all of it.

EL PAALO · 08-05-2009, 09:02 AM

215/35 18 will clear the spring perch.

RePete · 08-05-2009, 11:47 AM

At least we have pics of them now, always wondered how those specific versions would look on a Mark II. But I know they are indeed heavy, most 18s are quite a bit of unsprung weight for an MR2 which will not only affect handling & ride comfort but increase braking distances too.

MRohe2 · 08-05-2009, 11:56 AM

really doesnt effect the handling. I got 18's on mine and can still hit a 90 degree turn at 50.

my friend running the 17" 350z rims and looks nice

David · 08-05-2009, 02:04 PM

Eh. I probably won't keep them. I posted these pics on a local nissan forum, and a lot of people are asking how much I want for them. :/
