I always though 350 rims were 18s?

No one year of base model z's were 17's. Just use stock size for them. That should work I believe.

The tires in the picture might have 40 series tire on them.

I have 45 series tires on mine.

Ugh... I disagree.
Wheel Specifications - Nissan 350Z & 370Z Wiki

Those wheels are 17x7.5+30 and 17x8+33. An S13's apect ratio is gonna be all kinds of fucked up if you use the stock tires that a 350z would use, which are 225/50/17 and 235/50/17.

I'd say use a 205/40/17 for the fronts and 215/40/17 rears.

If you're worried about if these sizes are stretched, heres a 215/17/40 on a 17x8 on the front on this NSX:

Here's a 205/40/17 on a 17x7.5 on a 2002 Accord.
