there are several types of 350z rims of varying sizes and offsets.

If you don't have the money for properly fitting wheels, why are you worrying about "widebody" now?

Your gonna need a big, big spacer, something hubcentric with extended lugs (probably) if you want to get a stock 350Z wheel flush on a widebody S14. So much so I think its pointless. Just go with sunken battleship status until you do it right. 240s don't really have to worry about scrub radius much, but I think its just overkill to get a stock wheel flush on widebody.
You do mean stock wheels, right?

why rock spacers with widebody!
just fucking roll your fenders/pull if anything
only reason you should get over fenders if your rims are wider than 10.5 inches or if you have qp damage...
if not stick with stock body

People don't even like rocking stock wheels on stock body, You need something with a lip for widebody, save yourself the trouble man

g35 wheels do not need widebody
therefore you do not need one
fit you wheels first then fit a widebody accordingly
see the susp faqs in tech talk

aiight seems like i shouldve out some more info on here for people that think they just have for comment like an ass ... and ty to those who honestly did answered my question ...
ok now ...
so i have a s14 ... previous owner straight ghettoed the car in all aspects ive been doing my best to get it to a typical status ... but long story short ... looks like he took a bat and a towel or something cause fenders aint supposed to be rolled like that ... they're shit ...
wheel that came with the car are i think like 2005 track version 1?
i think spec are as
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 18.19lbs
Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 18.62lbs
why am i worrying about widebody ... im not worried about it i just asked for some fitment suggestions gosh dayam!!! haha regardless i got a really good deal on it ...
zenki going kouki ... needed front fenders someone happened to have em but wide body ... and had rears too which would fix my messed up rear fenders soooo ya ... like i said their 30mm ...
if u wanna make a smart ass remark at least be helpful i can take constructive criticism thank you ...
all im thinking is wide body would be the easiest for my body conditions ... rims can be done but whats it worth if i have jacked up looking quarter panels

so to be more specific in my question ... now knowing my wheels ... can i make them work with wide body (spacers??? how wide??? something?) or is it worth it to deal with sunken battleship status(lol) for the meantime till i can get down with some real wheels where i can pick my width and offset better

stick with a ghetto ass car
save up money
ride the rims you have already
sell your g35 / 350z rims
buy some 18x11 - 13 inch low offset rims
go widebody
camber
question answered!

A 25mm makes the stock 18x8.5 in the rear flush on a rolled slight pull fender. (Call it stock for intents and purposes) so if you add anothre 30mm wide fender you will need a 55mm spacer. Dont think they make them in 55 so get a 50 mil and a 5mm slip. But your bearings will curse the ground you walk on. I for one dont feel comfy stacking spacers. Ive had 2 bad expiriences.
As for the fronts you will need like 40mm of spacing to get flush depending on how much camber you run.
That being said. I am embarrassed running my Forged Rays Track wheels as track spares even with spacers on a stock metal body, as others said the wide body should wait.
Buy wheels first and fit the body to the wheels.

thanks for some responses everybody ... in your opinion then would it look funny if i had front wide fenders and just pulled rears?
50mm bolt on spacers... they work just fine! it may not be "flush" but when you camber it correctly you should be fine!

would i need extended wheel stud for 50mm spacers?

c'mon your reading comprehension shouldn't be that bad! unless you don't know that there is a difference between a bolt on spacer and a slip on spacer. But even then I can't assume your that dumb? I mean really?
I'll pretend you didn't post that since you're a fellow San Diegan
