The only thing I am unsure of is if 9.5 will fit in the front arches on a Z on full lock ?

Usually the offset is stamped in the back of the wheel somwere ?

Until I get my damaged tyre replaced my Z isn't going anywere :(

But I am happy too drive over to check them out for you, unfortunatley I can't check fitment :(

If it helps, a bit of googling suggest offsets to be around 35-38: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/242764-18-starcorp-impuls-wide-pack-cheap/

hiya pal , thanks for the other, i shall pm u if i need you to view them for me . is 35-38 ofset good for a z ??

I know 9.5 with a 35 offset fits nice on the rear, no idea how it is for the front though !

With the spaces that he had to fit the offsetts could be anything.

Assuming all 4 wheels are 9.5, that's pretty wide for the front and the one to check on a Zed.

 

The offsett though will be on the back of the wheel, as they are clearly off the car he ought to know mate.

Is 15 miles from me i could take a look tomorrow but i have 25mm spacers on the front and im not willing to take them off and disturb them. Could try the wheels on though and see what they are like but im sure he can find the offset on the rear before it becomes a wasted trip.

hiya mate , that would be massivly appreciated an if I could repay the favour in anyway in the near future I will :) I have sent him a message about having a look on the wheels , I shall reply here when I know more !

spoke to the guy he reckons no stamp , so if u could do me thw honors pal I would appreciate it ! he is flexible with times tommorrow and said to jus call him I will pm u his number! obviously you have spacers on but if u can try and gauge what they would ne like without is what am loking for really might be worth doing the front one , also might aswell advise me on general condition :) and please take a picture ha ha

 

anything else you magesty !! :)

The results. You will need spacers to fit them and to fill the arches. i have 25mm on the front but you could get away with 20mm or maybe even 15mm to tuck them under the arches. Nice set of wheels with good tyres on though. You can see for yourself how much clearance there was on the calipers oh and the offset is ET 36. I got my 4 hubcentric spacers for £125 delivered so maybe worth splashing out a bit more. Let me know if you want the details

 

Oh as well there is maybe just 10mm clearance from the caliper there so thats why i say you may get away with 15mm spacers

thanks again pal , I think they look the mutts nutts :) going to do a deal with the guy and buy them ! so is a 15mm spacer taking a chance ? or would 20mm make them stick out a little bit ?

i think 15mm may work and they would sit nicely and on 20mm there may be a tiny bit sticking out but will still sit well. I guess you could just give it a go on 15mm

So Kenz, did you get them, are they on and with what spacers if so ?

no mate , to be fair we agreed a price but I had a max budget that I was pushing to begin with , spacers was gona cost me 130 ontop :( think I am just going to hang on untill I find a set I really want
