Hi is offset of 45 ok for a 8x17 wheel on a zed or am I going to have to sell these on??

You may have caliper or suspension clearance issues with such a high offset, you could try 25mm spacers making et20. With those sizes it should work all round. Your best bet if you already have them is to fit them (if you can) and then use an offset calcator to get them how you want it.

I pick them up on Sat. so I'll see how they fit,they were fitted to a Subaru SVX so I think they were a bit wide for that,Works 5 spoke they look like some TSW I had on a mk111 supra so a bit retro compared to the sharp edged types that are made now,they have 235 40 17 tyres so they might look a bit small with standard ride height.

If you haven't paid for these I would advise against them. The offset either won't work or will look silly without large (expensive) spacers, 235 is not ideal for the rear wheel width (less than stock, 245?) and I think you'll find the Subaru svx centre bore is smaller so the wheel physically won't go on...

17x8 +36 up front...

 

 

Mine is a import so has 225s all round anyway,but if they are et35 I think spacers are a must although mine are not dishes so they probably won't be as bad as the ones in your pic,so if the centres are OK the search is on for some spacers methinks.

Its going to cost you £150-£200 for a set of hubcentric spacers all round to fix the offset, and they are not very wide. Bear in mind most people fit 8.5" up front and 9.5" rear to the Z, and many go wider still.

 

If you've not paid I would leave them, otherwise I would sell them on.

Problem solved I paid the blokes ebay final bid charge although he was in need of anger management to say the least,and have gone for 350z wheels,please don't tell me these are not any good either.

Depends what 350z wheels you got the 17's are fine, the 18's require shaving of the nissan logo off your caliper or a 3mm spacer.

Subaru use 5x100 pcd anyway don't they, so they won't fit at all unless you get conversion spacers.

Pretty sure the svx is the subaru exception and runs 5x100... but all other subarus to my knowledge are 5x100 along with some 5 stuf toyotas ie altezza, 3s (2 litre) coronas, celicas caldina's etc.

5x100 wouldnt fit either mate z are 5x114 the 350z rays will fit, but the standard tyres your speedo will be out.

Do rays make the standard dimple 350z wheels? thats interesting... and i didn't mention 5x100 wouldn't fit as somebody had already mentioned that regarding having to use hub adaptors etc... to my knowledge the svx subarus are 5x114 though.

Typo

They are from a svx 8x17"-5x114+45 with 235x40x17 tyres all round,but as was said earlier the centre hole maybe wrong but being non original they may have a larger centre than the svx wheels,but with a +45 offset they might have been OK.but that I will never know as I cancelled the sale and got the 350Z wheels which are 18" and it has now been said these won't fit either without spacers GRRRRR

Maybe try researching before you buy the wheels rather than buying them, then asking if they'll fit! lol :thumbup:

I did look at all the other threads from others on the forum but didn't see any mention of clearance for 350z wheels,not much of a problem as far as I can see though,they are standard Nissan made 8x18 offset 30 in very good condition and only £100 with potenza 225 45 & 245 45s 5mm tread left so if it cost a bit more I won't complain.

Please don't laugh Joely P it is a minefield looking for wheels that fit 5x114 and a good width unless the misses has a big handbag to buy new ones

I love that blue

these are the wheels

Well the wheels are on with no problems at all the clearance from the spokes is about 12mm so I don't know what the scaremongering was that I would need 3mm spacers or grind some off the calipers
