40mm offset clear z32 brakes?
I already searched online and on the ever confusing twinturbo.net forum. So maybe some of you fanboys can help me out...
I am looking at the 17 x 7 40mm stock OZ/Enkei rims that came on the S15. I cannot find the offset of my stock z32 wheels anywhere, and I don't have a driver's manual for the car.
I am pretty sure I am going to need spacers, but does anyone know off the top of their head what offset the N/A z32 wheels are? Or if this size wheel will clear my brakes?
Even if they do clear, I'm probably going to want spacers anyway so my stance is aggressive enough.
Here are the wheels:

The stock size from what I can find, is +45 front, and +35 rear. So you shouldn't need any spacers for the fronts, and maybe a 10mm spacer for the rears. I'm not a Z32 wheel expert by any means though

Yeah I was just gonna say I found this on another forum..
1992 Z32 Twisty Alloy Wheels (Non Turbo) (1991)
16x7.5 with a 45mm offset
1992 Z32 Twisty Alloy Wheels (Turbo) (1991)
16x7.5 with a 45mm offset - Front
16x8.5 with a 35mm offset - Rear
But I have Non-turbo wheels (as far as I know.. unless they were swapped previous to my ownership). So they might be fine?
We'll see if they look stupid and if I need spacers or not just for aesthetics. My current wheels don't quite come to the fender so I might want them a little wider.

they sound like they will be conservative.
my friend with a zx-tt was looking at +30 to be pretty flush with a 9.5 rim and running (I think) a 275 or larger.
you should be fine and you can ALWAYS space out, but not in
hope this helps you get slammed ridiculously.
