hey guys , looking into getting some new rims, just wondering, whats the offset i can get, ive heard stock are +45 but all the rims i can find are +35 rear and +25 fronts, eg: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-R...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories and they say there for 300zx but im not sure, i can also find those in 42 offset, but im not sure what fits and wat doesnt. looking for 18'' if that helps at all.
Here's a good guide: http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=935775 Those offsets are a bit too aggressive for the advertised 8.5 and 9.5 widths. Spoke design is another important consideration.
I have been using +35 offset rims on the front of Silver, 3 different sets, 17's and 18's Car has been very twitchy following the contours of the road. If the road camber has been to the left, the car would pull left. If the camber has been to the right, it would pull left. It's been very annoying, especially as the convertible goes straight. Last week I put some stock wheels +45 on and it is now behaving exactly the way it should. I read up a bit on wheel alignments and found it is related to the scrub radius, ie distance between wheels centerpoint and steering axis. It is non adjustable and changes if you use wheels with the wrong offset, or different diameter. I would go for the 42 rims if they fit
