In the picture above post #36 those are RS Watanabe R Type. They also made the A Type and RS-8 to name a few.

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/userspage_new/nissan.htm Scroll down half way to Fairlady. Most of the pics when you click on them give you size, offset and what model.

I purchased mine from: http://www.wheelchoice.com/

Here is another one that has them that I dealt with also: http://takumiproject.com/brand.asp?brand=RS%20WATANABE

What I meant by the 9" statement was for the 255/40-17 tire I am running you could use a 9" rim also (because I am using a 9.5" rim in the event I want to go to a 275mm tire).

Because you are only going to a 235mm tire you maybe able to squeeze the 8.5" rim in the rear. I know that I've used a 245/45-16 tire on a 8" rim without flares. The limiting factor is the 5" backspacing with coil-overs. You don't want your tire/rim combination to look like 240zTT in my opinion, especially if you plan to race your Z.

The picture of my Z you referenced does have a rear flare (about 1"). I made the flare follow the factory lines so it isn't obvious (I guess it worked!). The other picture of my Z you can better see the rear flare http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=13913

HEY THANKS FOR YUOR HELP AND EVERYONE...

IM LOOKING TOWARDS FOR THAT 1" FLARES, BUT DONT KNOW YET ALSO WITH THE 0" OFFSET HOW MANY INCH WOULD I HAVE ON THE DISH, OR IS THAT ANOTHER THINGS I HAVE TO LOOK FOR. OR DO THEY ALL COMES IN THE SAME INCH WHEN YOU GO BY OFFSET...:stupid:
