Also think about resale....Z owners change wheels a lot. You'd have a hard time finding a new buyer for those if you decided you didn't like them.
They should fit...maybe...but that offset is really high for those widths....you'd be tucking like a motorhome. Those offsets would be tolerable on much wider rims...but I'd steer clear of those. They're a good deal for a reason.

so if they had less offset they would not be so fare in under the guards?...
i can get them new here in Assie for $2000 at the moment old stock...whereas a set of GT-C will cost close to $6000 aus at the moment with the Aus $ compared to the Yen right now...
thanks buddy...

in a 9" wide rear, look for something below a +20 and for the 8" fronts, you look for something possibly +15 or lower
your help on this is very much appreciated ..because once i purchase them
you cant return them..so i'm looking for some GT-C at a reasonable price now....thanks mate..

I just ordered these 18x8.5 +32 and 18x9.5 +42 Super Advan SA3s and TireRack recommends 225/45-18 (f) and 265/40-18 (r). I also have Track Brembos installed. Any objections to that? No suspension mods done yet but I was thinking of going with some Tanabe NF210 springs for a subtle 1.2 inch drop because it's a daily driver and I live with speed bumps daily. Any insight would be great!
