So for these wheels your wanting........i would say buy a 25mm spacers........
40mm(offset wheel) -minus- 25mm(spacer) = +15mm overall offset.
40 - 25 = 15

Thanks, someone mentioned that it'll be out of spec, but wouldnt require a camber kit with this setup?
I know that they are the same bolt pattern but my concern is the hub size. Since these are not hub-centric it wont have a problem coming in contact with the rim but what about where the spacer comes in contact with the hub? I dont have any experience with an actual spacer so I wanted to make sure it works out before I pick them up.
Some pics from a meet last night.
Rear is 19x9.5 +10 (after 15mm spacer) with 285/35/19

the hub would have to be 66.1
the stud length about 25mm, etc..etc...
check everything, test fit them, etc, make sure they will work for you...

I just bought a set - fronts are 23.xxlbs and rears are 25.xx lbs. I don't believe that's all that heavy for a 19' wheel?
Like I said, not trying to be a troll, just don't want anyone trying to sell a set of z34 wheels to have to deal with this unfounded claim that they weigh as much as two moons a piece.
and because your threads are so awesome and informative, when i actually get around to mounting the wheels (read: purchasing tires) I'll post all the photos you want, running 20mm spacers up front, nothing in rear.
HI, I have the stock 17 inch wheels on my touring edition 350.
its currently lowered on DF210's.
What spacers do u suggest to fill up this gap i got here. would prefer to not have to roll my fenders or have any rubbing action. thanks for your assistance!

Honestly not trying to be a troll, but I just wanted to point out that the post you eventually reference to that lists the stock weights for the Z34 wheels is incorrect. You should note that the weights listed for those wheels are the only specs typed into that post and not from the scan of the Nissan spec sheet. I suspect THOSE weights include tires... probably filled with lead.

Can you get any pics of the wheels on a bathroom scale????
in for pics...
-J
I dont suppose you would believe me if I told you I just copied one of your earlier posts eh? 
I will post pics on a scale as soon as I can find an accurate one - the one in my house is over or under (can't remember which, haven't used it since seeing it.) but I will certainly try and find one.
The wheels likely wont be going on until the spring (Canadian winters, I'm not buying over $1000 worth of tires to just have them sit) but I PROMISE to take pics when they're on - least I can do for all the time you've spent putting together these awesome threads.
