Default will this offset work for my 350z I want BBS LM replica

Unfortunately I only have these in 5x112, 5x100, 5x120. The only thing is that close to this pattern but with a straight lip in 5x114 is 18x8 and 18x9 M2s.

The front comes in a 38 ET and 18 ET.
The rear comes in a 18 ET and 21 ET.

I have attached a link to the picture for your review. I don't think you would like 18s though.

my bbs rgr wheeels have a 22 offset all the way around, and if you do some looking around you can find the real ones at very good prices, my set was only 1600.

Get the 38et in the front, and run a 15mm spacer. That would be an offset of 23 in the front and 21 in the rear. Thats close to what you want.

Or, save up and get a nicer set of wheels. These are probably cast and heavy. And authentic BBS wheels aren't rediculously expensive.

Those are some unusual offsets for rear wheel drive. Why not consider real BBS wheels manufactured specifically for rear wheel drive.

I've always had expensive wheels but I use to auto x and race alot. My Z however I purchased it for cruising and taking women out. I just want good looking wheels.

Real BBS LeMans are like 1000 each.

will the bolt pattern work

bolt pattern needs to be 5x114.3

As far as offsets for a 8" front and 9" rear
front: +4 would look flush
rear: +16 would look nice, but not too aggressive

so the offsets he offers would look a bit tucked

Use an offset calculator and compare the current wheels with the new wheels. With a tape, check if you clear the strut housing, brake caliper and fender.
