Help, might be getting 03 350z rims on my 00 maxima. Need help and opinions!

I have a 2000 Maxima GXE with the stock 16", 16 spoke alloys that look like hubcaps to tell you the truth. A friend of a friend in my area is selling the stock wheels off of his 2003 350z just like the ones in this link:

Does anyone have pics a maxima 2000-2003 with stock 350z staggered rims without a drop? These should fit fine and be a direct swap wince they are the same bolt pattern, correct.

The deal is $400 with tires for the set without anything wrong on any rim. The back rims have falcon tires and the front have some other popular name that I forgot. How will this look without a drop and staggered? Couldn't I just put the same size tires on the front and the back?

REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME PICS

The bolt pattern is correct, and the offset will fit and look nice. As to pics, I've never seen a pic of a 5th gen with no drop with these wheels - but because of the lower offset they will accentuate the "wheel gap" and not look very good, IMO. I woudl look into getting some used lowering springs (Maxspeeds, H-tech, Eibach, H&R are all good choices for a subtle drop) before putting the wheels on.

that sounds like a very good deal. Btw it's "Falken" - find out what model tires they are and what sizes, and we can give you more insight into how good of a deal it really is...

IMO, it will not look good.
They will not look "staggered" on your car. IIRC all 4 wheels are the same width, but on the Z they put wider/taller tires on the backs. I strongly suggest you run the same size tires on all four. The best tire size would be a 235/40/18 for the maxima on those wheels.
