Nissan 350z (Z33) || Fit Check

If you are someone you know has a Nissan 350z make sure they watch this video of Fit Check where we cover all fitment options for the Z33 platform.

In our Fit Check series we cover a range of fitment options in three categories, “No Hassle”, “Slight Flex”, and “All The Wheel”. We break it down in these categories so it is easy to identify what kind of functionally suits your needs. If you are just looking to use your car for casual street use and commuting, the No Hassle fitment may be something you are looking for. If you are looking to do some light mods but still only use you’re car for strictly street use but like to look more aggressive, Slight Flex might be a good fit. If you are a person who brings your car to the track or car shows, All The Wheel would be a great way to show off a bit while still being completely proper and functional for the car.

The 350z has a lot of different options that can work. The number one thing you should consider when fitting your 350z is whether or not you are looking to run a square or staggered set up. If you are unsure what that means check out our video breaking down squared vs. staggered set ups.

Yes there will be people who run wheel and tire specs that we don’t specify in this video but may need some sort of body modification to avoid rubbing or inbound clearance issues, but this video is to talk about the fitment options with no body or suspension modifications.

No Hassle Fitment

If you want to keep your OE tire size, We recommend wheels that fall within widths ranging from 8 inches to 8.5 inches with an offset of 30 to 35. This sweet spot allows for a clean, flush look without rubbing or modifications. Remember, a lower offset pushes the wheel further out, creating a more aggressive stance. Explore the variety of Konig wheels within these fitment parameters and discover the perfect set to transform your 350z from stock to show-stopping! If your 350z came with 17″ wheels and you want to keep the OE tire, we would suggest a 17×8.5 et38.

If we had to narrow it down to an exact size… The 18×8.5″ ET35 wheel size is a favorite for a reason. This wider width enhances your 350z’s stance for a more aggressive profile, while the ET35 offset ensures the wheels sit perfectly flush with the fenders. It’s a hassle-free way to achieve a show-stopping look without worrying about fitment issues. 

Suggested Fitment: 18 x 8.5” ET35

Suggested Wheels: Ultragram, Ampliform, Hypergram,

Slight Flex Fitment

Ready to push the boundaries and truly personalize your 350z? Look no further than Konig’s “Slight Flex” fitment options! This category caters to enthusiasts who crave a more aggressive stance without sacrificing functionality or venturing into modifications.

Imagine your 350z with wheels that fill out the wheel wells perfectly, creating a bold, head-turning presence. Konig’s “Slight Flex” options allow you to achieve this look with a range of wheel widths from 9 inches to 9.5 inches, paired with offsets of 25 to 35. The wider width fills out the gaps, giving your 350z a planted, muscular look, while the offset ensures the wheels sit close to the fenders without causing any rubbing.

Konig understands that modifying your car isn’t for everyone. That’s why our “Slight Flex” fitment perfectly balances bold looks and hassle-free installation. We recommend starting with a staggered setup of front sizing of 18×9 et25 and a rear sizing of 18×10 et25 OR 18×9.5 et35 front sizing and 18×10 et25 rear sizing, a popular choice for its ideal balance of style and practicality. It’s the perfect way to achieve a head-turning stance without any unnecessary modifications. Most of our Flow Formed wheels will cover this recommended “Slight Flex” fitment option. 

Suggested Fitment:

Front: 18×9 ET25

Rear: 18×10 ET25

Suggested Wheels: Hexaform, Dekagram, Countergram

ALL THE WHEEL Fitment

For the true stance enthusiast, we offer the “ALL THE WHEEL” fitment for the 350z. This category is designed to push the boundaries of style, creating a show-stopping look that fills those wheel wells.

We recommend a front sizing of 18×9.5″ ET25 and a rear sizing of 18×10.5 et25 setup for the ultimate aggressive look. This combination boasts a wider setup over the Slight Flex category by half an inch at each corner really filling out the wheel wells and truly making this all the wheel the car can handle without modification or rubbing issues.

Be aware: Due to the aggressive nature of this fitment, modifications like camber adjustment or fender rolling will likely be necessary to avoid rubbing. Konig strongly recommends consulting a professional installer to determine the modifications needed for your specific setup.

Suggested Fitment:

Front: 18×9.5 ET25

Rear: 18×10.5 ET25

Suggested Wheels: Heliogram, Neoform, Ultragram
