Dont know if i posted in the wrong section,but im not a troll. I just purchased my car not long ago,dont know much about it. It might sound like a stupid question to you,but not for me sir.

A better solution would be to buy wheels with a lower offset to get the look/ride you want. Offset in the mid teens to mid twenties.

If you need a source for new spacers, start here.

You're welcome, we all start somewhere. I went if 18" Enkeis, 9.5FR , 10.5RR.
+12 all around, and I like the fit without spacers. Good luck!

The basic question.... hub centricity NOT spacers!!

73.1 wheels to 66.1 hub require a set of these:

If you do decide to use spacers (a whole different topic), get 66.1mm hubcentric spacers but wheels will still need hub rings (above) because the hole's too big.

Down, boys.

What wheels (not rims) are you looking at?

Oh no, that's what I was afraid of. regardless of the look, which is open to interpretation, those are just not wheels you want on your car. You need to consider build quality, weight, safety, size/offset, etc.

The offset, at 38mm, is too far off to correct with spacers, and frankly, those wheels are junk quality. Not for any Z, trust me. Please look at some of the threads in the wheel/tire section and get some better ideas.

I sure will thank you

You're correct about wanting 18's, but you want strong and light, not soft and heavy. And, offsets in the 15-20mm range. If you're patient, some nice used wheels may come along. Maybe a used set of Rays V1 track wheels? They're the best bang for the buck, and they're forged, super-light, and they fit correctly. I've seen the in the $600 range.

^^^^ This.

To add to that.... replica wheels are generally fine for light use (I know some might chuckle at MY saying that given my recent endeavor of trying to break a set unsuccessfully) but.... these aren't even replicas. And at $378 for a SET(!), well, you get what you pay for (or didn't pay for as it were.)

Try to avoid dual drilled wheels, e.g. 5x100 AND 5x114.3. You have to consider that this takes even more strength out of the hub area, which is the biggest source of loading on any wheel (and usually the SPOF).

It's a mfgr's way of cheaping out on manufacturing to meet too many uses.

And definitely get wheels wider than 8"

Be sure to check-out Enkei wheels before making a purchase.

Enkei wheels are an exceptional value, and are available in ideal widths and offset for the 350z.
