I have no idea when it comes to wheel fitments but wondered if these would fit. Quite like them.....

Nothing wrong with using hebcentric spacers Dave if need be.

 

You need less than 45, perhaps around the 30 mark, you'd be better spending some time by the sounds of it taking your front and rears off and seeing/measuring what you have now in relation to how they sit in the arch, clear your calipers, etc.

Thanks Andy, will do;)

Have a read of this Dave. I was struggling with offsets so hopefully this will help you http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?181017-Offset

Thanks Tom, that's really helpful:)

Pop up some pictures of your current wheels and how they sit bud.

These are the most recent pics I've got Stephen. I've not got the car at the moment as its being resprayed.

 

They are the 350z Touring wheels, 18" x 8J all round... Not sure on the offset. I do like the style tbh, they are a bit marked (nothing major) I suppose I'm thinking they are gonna look tired next to the car when it comes back. Looking at them, the front wheel definitely needs to come out abit.. Maybe 30mm and the rear maybe 15-20mm?

 

 

That is a nice wheel you were looking at on that ebay post. If I am not mistaken those are replicas of the OZ Futuras, a beautiful wheel indeed.

 

As far as what offset will work on the Z, you need to be looking at either +35 all around or a combo of +35 or +27 for the front and +40 to +44 on the rear. Another factor that plays a role in choosing the right offset is wheel design.

 

My current setup is 18x8 +37 front and 18x10 +44 on the rear.

 

I have another set that is 18x9.5 +37 front and 18x10.5 +44 on the rear. I have yet to mount tyres on this last set but I have test fitted and have no issues on the rear. I have to use a 10mm spacer in the front to clear my BBK (the spacer is already being used on my current set)

Quite like these....

 

Front Axle 18 x 8.5" 5 x 114.3 ET35

Rear Axle 18 x 9.5" 5 x 114.3 ET30

 

 

Yeah, they look smart. I'd run those.

Now that's more like it. That is a good looking wheel. Very similar to the LMGT4's

Fronts would benefit from 15mm huncentrics but yes, they would look [emoji41]

I've got those

 

You can't use a spacer on the front if you've got Meister'R' or other coilovers and are running lowered suspension

All my suspension is standard at the moment.... I do like them alot. Just need to do a bit of saving. My current tyres should fit according to a chart online for tyre sizes - they are on the minimum recommendations though. That will save me quite a bit of cash in the short time.

I'm running

 

8.5 x 18 Fronts with 235 40 yr 18

9.5 x 18 Rears with 265 35 yr 18

mine are slightly narrower but should be ok if I do get them... 225 40 18 & 245 35 18

Regarding offsets, I'm running +20 on 8.5" (245/40/18) at the front and +35 on 9.5" (275/35/18) at the rear, you can push them out a lot more than some people are recommending in this thread! Depends how low you are of course, and I did have to move the coolant bottle, but still. And my rears could go to +30 happily. I wouldn't want to run narrower tyres on those sizes though, not much protection from kerbing as it is.

 

Regarding those original wheels you were looking at, you can get 9.5s in 112x5 so you could use wobble bolts. Lots of discussions go on about wobble bolts, but you can get TUV approved ones so they obviously can't be dangerous!

Pretty much identical to what I was running on my old wheels and tyres. Fronts were the same and the rears I had a +30 on a 9.5". I did have to roll my rear arch lip ever so slightly though. The front did catch slightly on one of the arch liner tabs, but it all fitted just fine.

Thoughts anyone? I'm torn between these and the Rota GTRs I posted earlier.

 

I can get these in 18's with 8.5 at the front and 9.5 rears. Also offsets ranging from ET30-45 for fronts and rears so I take it from previous posts that the ET30s should be the best fit?

 

Anyone had a set of either of them or can anyone provide feedback if good or not?

 

Think it'll be between the two now... Been looking on many sites all weekend!

 

I've got those

Have you got any pics with them on?

I'll do one tonight for you

Thanks Tony... torn between the 2 now and need to see some pics:)

 

Do you have these offsets?

Front Axle 18 x 8.5" 5 x 114.3 ET35

Rear Axle 18 x 9.5" 5 x 114.3 ET30
