    18 or 19"... offsets look in the right range, they are RPM wheels and sold in australia for twice the price.

    The only problem i can foresee is because of the 3" rear and 2.5" front lips they may not clear the calipers anyone run a 3"rear lip with 35 or 238 offset.... they do have a 2" front lip and 2.5" rear lip if the bigger is going to be a problem.

    $390 flat Baz.

    its cheaper than getting them here. I have asked a few of the guys on 300zxclub, only had a reply form 1, he said that he needed a front spacer... thats ok with me because i have been running one since i got the car, but many of the nay sayers will swear by not using one because they are dangerous.

    unfort he was running 8" fronts whereas the only ones they stock now are 8.5"... i dont think i can run 8.5s with dish and 35 offset.

    Thats probably why i wont get them, there is no way to test fit, they might fit without tyres but when i put tyres on they won't.

    Slip on spacers ARE dangerous, bolt on spacers are what you want.

    The reason some shitty spacers are dangerous is for the simple fact that you cant get the lug nuts on as far as they should go when you use slip on spacers. Unless of course you want a wheel flying off at 110kmph, that is very bad. They can also change the load on your bearings, and can cause them to wear prematurely.

    Bolt on spacers with longer studs is what you need to maintain safety, however I dont even think spacers are legal period.

    i have been told bolt on are... and thats what i run on the front. i have slip on spacers for the rear.

    i have been looking further and it appears that they might fit... i think i might just get a set

    9.5" rear 3" lip 38offset
    8.5" front 2" lip 35 Offset

    can always get spacers or roll guards if needed.

    AndyMac Better than you

    No spacers required

    The rear will fit fine with no spacers

    You won't want a spacer on the front wheel, with a 35 offset they may rub your front guard a little depending on tyre, but should fit fine.
