I have found these rims which are 17x8.5 with a 32mm offset.
Link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/17X8-5-S14-S15-MUSTANG-300ZX-SUPRA-RX7-MESH-HYP-SILVER_W0QQitemZ270459259675QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ef8a0cb1b

I was wondering if they would fit on a 300zx. They have some sort of a sale going on, and i wanna get them buy have no idea if they will fit over the calipers. I need someone to reply asap who has some knowledge about rims/tires.
I have (2) 235/45/r17 and (2) 255/40/r17 sitting in my garage, which have great tread.

Thanks

on the rear they will sit more or less like the stock TT rear 8.5s but of course higher, rear shouldn't be an issue with Z32s at that width , the fronts, theres nothing a spacer can't fix really, but you have to look at clearing the strut/spring/coilovers up front as well not just the calipers.

the offset idk, as the stock 7.5 fronts are +45 iirc, again spacers.

So for the fronts, what do you reccomend? Is the offset to much?

click on setup number for particulars, for instance:

18x9.5 +20 - 255/35 all around

NOTES

- No spacers
- Fenders are rolled (and pulled for future wheel setup)
- PowerTrix SS Coilovers (6k/8ks Spring Rates)
- PowerTrix RUCA and FUCA
- Stock brake sizes

Thanks for the help man,
So in all honesty, you think i should go 8.5 all around with the +32 offset ? 95% sure it will work ?
