I search high and low for a set of Wheels that I like enough to buy and when I go to buy them I find they only come in a +42 Offset..

Life just sometimes Sux..

 

Why not user spacers

 

I am a bit nervous about them.. I think a 5mm would work.. But not sure..

 

I can get a 6.3mm Spacer set for $30.. Will stock studs work OK there?

 

You should probably space out +42 offset wheel quite a bit more than 5-6mm...

You want to be in the 20-30 range ideally, depending on wheel width. I've even seen people going as low as 15 offsets on some wheels.

I spaced out the G35 RAYS on my Z 15 and 20mm with KICS spacers and they are 30-33 offsets to begin with. Looks perfect.

No problems either. What are you wary about?

 

Good Info There. Should I go with a Longer Stud and Spacer "Plate" or those bolt on jobs like the H&R? I can get the former in 20mm for $180ish and the latter will run about $250ish.. Just buying 6mm Spacer with Stock Studs will only cost me $60, but may not look as good?

What about brake caliper clearance? I have non-brembros..

 

i'm running wheels with a 42mm offset without spacers, unless nissan put spacers on there without charging me, which i highly doubt.

 

What wheels? Do you have any Pics?

Thanks,

 

 

Well.. Im SOL.. No place on the Internet has the wheels I was trying to buy.. Why is it so hard to get 17x8 wheels that look good?

 

Cuz 17X8" is a damn Civic, Integra, Celica, RSX, weaksauce size-so you'll likely find very ghey offsets. Man-up and get some 9.5" + wide wheels/rubber like a Z should have and offset in the 20's. You may not be happy, but at least we wont laugh at you....

 

Great, Send me a check for a Grand to make up the difference and i will do that Alberto. Since we are such good friends i know you don't want anyone to laugh at me.

 

The above was a joke, this is not: if you cant do it right why do it at all? Just stay stock or do some spacers on stock with wider tires to hold you off.

 

They are 17x7.5 42mm offset. The wheels are msr 122. Im selling them for $250 if anybody wants them. I know alot of people like to have a set of track wheels.

 

Thats cool man.. I am considering a set of 18's and tires.. i really like the ride of the 17 with the 50 series on them.. but if I cant get anything nice, I will just save up for something larger.

 

You look into like Axis Hiro's? You can get them staggered in 18" for under $1300, look good imo and nice and wide....
