Would these fit the 300zx...I do have a bigger front brake conversion. Any help would be grateful as I simply cant stand my 19 inch monsters. Cheers in advance.

I have seen with a set of rx8 alloys on, not sure of the offset though with an ET50, also centre bore 70mm so you will need some 66.1 to 70mm spigot rings

Thank you, forgive my stupidity...are these easy to get, are the expensive and easy to fit to the wheels?

 

Thank you again.

Just you tubed it....So I would need 66.1 to 70mm? Is 66.1 my wheel hub or the wheels hub size?

Nice wheels no good on a 300zx so don't buy them unless you have some storage space in the garage you wanna fill

66.1 is the zed centre hub diameter, 70mm is the centre of the RX alloy wheel, so the spigot ring makes up the difference between the two, however as Bob stated, not worth getting for the zed though, if it wasn't RX9 wheels i saw it may have been 350z wheels lol

OK, any reasons why....as they are 114.3s so presumed all might fit. Newbie to wheel selection....

I guess the offset is the issue

 

Effectively the wheel offset is also the distance from the centre-line of the wheel to the hub face. Therefore : If you put a wheel on the same hub with a bigger wheel offset, the wheel will sit further inside the wheel arch because the wheel's bolting face will have to move further in to meet the hub.

Thank you guys. Money saved for Lee as he still has my car..lol

RX8 wheels....look good on a Mazda 6, but a little 'low-rent' for a 300zx. If you want that style of wheel, then try and find yourself some 350z anniversary wheels, they do work pretty well on the Z32, although not something I'd go for either. Not that easy to find in the UK though.

 

 

These are nice and fairly hard to come by.

However these are my favourite if you want a wheel from the 350z/G35 era on a Z32

if I'm being honest, I'm just looking to swap my 19s out for something a little smaller and bola like. I like the 7twenty style ones too (type 49) but with the extensive work in im having done to it at Lees, something cheap for now is the option...or a swap of course. I like the 2nd image the best although not the style I'm looking for. Appreciate the comments. Thank you.
