sorry it took me so long to reply but yeah i have a 1/4 in spacer in the front and i had to buy longer wheel studs but they are rota rb's 17*7.5 i do only have about a centimeter of clearance on the front though.. the back is fine.. 18racing.com states that they have 17x7.5 with a +4 offset but they don't as far as i know so call them and make sure b4 you order them from any website

okay let me correct myself its 215 45 17's thanks man i purchased wheels and tires for less than a grand so i guess i did pretty well keeping it within my budget

i'm running 215/40/17's i think.. if i'm wrong i'll post the right size later

yea i will hopefully be taking that ONE bumper shock off as soon as possible!!! i took the other one off and planed on taking the one on there now off when i took it to the hobby shop to drop the tank. BUT i ended up dropping the tank but not taking out the bumper shock.. so yeah i guess i'll hopefully be doing that sometime soon.. as far as the wheels looking HUGE.. i think they are just right.. in my opinion 17's are as big as you can go w/o lookin crazy... the tokico springs didn't lower it as much as i planned but they are still new so i'll leave them on there until i feel like spending more on some eibachs

let me know what you guys think

okay.... so i finally have the wheels installed on my car under STOCK fenders with only rubbing issues when i turn the wheels all the way to lock, they rub on the lower inner frame rail.. if i had more then a 1/4 SPACER it probly wouldn't rub at all.. also i had to get longer wheel studs for the front but the back is fine.. i have some pics uploaded up at hybridz.org i'll see if they will work here

i didn't post this info b4 but i do drive a 280z not a 240 and i think the wheels might work with a 1/4 spacer in the front and none in the back.. i think my issue now is trying to get them to fit without rubbing on the fender lip

so only one rim came in today and i'm thinking that i will def have to get spacers for the front.. i already had spacers for my old mag wheels but i think i'll need thicker ones for these but the back looks like it might actually be ok i'm not sure but i'll keep you guys posted

yeah guys thanks for the input.. i'm kinda nervous b/c i don't think i will be even trying to get these wheels to fit my car.. i think i'm just going to call 18gracing.com and send them back as soon as they get here and i find out that they wont fit

hey guys thanks for the replies... i talked to 18gracing.com and i was told that these rims would def. fit.. BUT i guess they were just trying to get a quick sale out of me

okay i posted in the open discustion forum "by mistake" but i'm just wondering b/c after a couple of searches i haven't really seen anything cut and dry... i have a stock suspension setup except for tokico springs/illuminas.. and i'm wondering if 17x7.5 rotas with a 20mm offset will fit

21 views and no replies yet???

is anyone running this 17x7.5 with a 20mm offset? on a stock setup.. all i have installed is tokico illuminas/shocks and i'm wondering if the wheels that i've ordered will fit my car.. the company that i ordered them through told me that they would fit but i'm not sure and no one has really given me a a yes or a no.. and if not what kind of spacers would i need to get them to fit?

my bad fairlady z

yeah my point exactly but i don't think the spoiler/air dam is perfect i would do something diffent with the turn sigs and i would def try to make it fit better around the lights, i guess i'm going to have to custom make myown By the way the blue car is mine i took the pic with my camera

oh yeah and to all the guys out there thas like to argue about stupid things like this, i don't want to fight anymore and i love you guys

ok anyways i like the airdam and i know there are many of you out there that feel as if the z car was just perfect from the factory, i love my z but the later models -- the 280z's in my opinion look like kinda bad with those huge bumpers comming about a foot off the front of the car.. what i'm trying to say is that the whole point to modifying a car is to make it your own/ to have a unique car.. and yeah it doesn't really dam' air, if you have a n/a car but think about putting an intercooler behind there, i mean the japanese did put turbos on these cars from the factory since its so ricy to think about such things, so back to the original question has anyone here seen this "air dam" on any other cars and if its off of a supra what year and what kit because i've been looking

omg what are you guys talking about i mean it looks way better then the cheap/tacked on look of the msa type 3 body kit and it goes perfectly with the body lines of the car, i admit the turn signals do look pretty wack but its not a bad looking front spoiler. i think it looks modern without taking away from the original classic lines

where the hell do you get this spoiler from and who makes it!!! i'm so frustrated now because i see something i love and i know i can't have it :mad:
