I put these on a while ago but never took any pics.
BTW car is dirty but spring time in VA is ridonkulous.






I would drop it in a heartbeat but im afraid of rubbing as the front wheels already stick out and the rear tires are even wider than the front.

Get some lower profile tires and drop it on TRDs, should be fine.

I would put lower profile tires but the roads that i commute on are littered with holes.

Lol, yeah I know what you mean. It just looks like a truck having the thick tires and sticking out some...lol.

how did you get the centercaps with the TRD logo on them? Also, did you have to buy centering rings for the rims? I was interested in OEM rims also, either from Infiniti G35 or some MBZs. Someone on scionlife had really nice G35 rims that looked great. Yours look nice, but they do stick out a little. Maybe offset issue?

the centercaps originally had nissan logos on them, so i just took them off and got some trd cap stickers from ebay. I never bought the hub centering rings because i didnt have any issues with the wheels nor have i had any yet, its been about 4 months without any problems and i drive it everyday. yeah they stick out just because the wheels are just too wide to fit on the car, but i havent had any rubbing so ive been happy :D

They stick out cause the offset is really low (for the car), not because they're too wide. I've seen 18x8 and 19x9.5 +45 offsets and they were tucking.

Anywho, I think those would look awesome with a lower profile tire and the xB dropped.

i've actually seen an xb with the nissan 350z 5 spoke wheel on it. i had to say that it really looks nice. more people should try it.

Your tires look beefy.. i gotta say.. it looks pretty good - leave it the way it is.

If you like the jacked up SUV look and bad handling, then keep it like it is; otherwise, go with 205/50-17 tires on the 350Z front wheels (17x7.5 +30), and drop the whole thing on Tanabe NF210's.

The tires will give you the sidewall height you're looking for, and the springs will ride better than stock, while dropping the center of gravity for better handling as well as giving much better ride quality than the stock springs and a better look.

Loosing 20mm of width on the fronts will stretch the tires from a look standpoint, but it should also pull the tread width in from the fenders so you shouldn't have any rubbing issues.

If you're OK with a stagger (and not being able to rotate, which is what you have now) then put the current 225/50 front tires on the rear in place of the stock 235/50's that are on the 350Z 17x8 +33 wheels. This will save you the cost of a new pairs of rear tires, and still work fine.

Feel free to PM me with any fitment questions.

They kinda look like the lexus rims minus the bb shot holes. Nice!
