wantabe offsets.. anyone?

[datfreak]

I'am looking at buying some beautiful rs8 wantabe(spelling?) 16 X 7 wheels but i dont know if they will fit.

The seller says that they are off a skyline and he had them on a silvia(both 114.3 hubs)..

looking at the rs8 japan website, that would make them +35 offset(or there abouts) with means they wouldnt fit my 240z..

is that right??

Any info, advise would be great!!

btw..

Is there any markings that indicate what offset the wheel is?

well if they are F8(classic 8 spoke), they could be +25, +30, or +35. If they are F8F (8 spoke, FWD offset), +27, +35, or +40. The offset should be cast, usually on the back side of the center - unless its a multi-piece/modular wheel.

a +25 16x7 would be a 4.5" offset

the wheels have a backspace of 130mm-- and they are 16 X 7 ...looking under my car it looks it would be very close to fitting..like 10-15 mm gap before the strut...

is that enough?

for any + offset you need spacers, either go 0 offset or convert to coilovers and get negative offset watanabes
