    I'm having no luck trying to find a perfect set of rims.

    Im looking for some deep dish 5 spoke rims.
    Closest comparison i could make is like 90TTZ's.

    Where should i start.

    Anyone know what the min and max offset for 8" wide rims are for a '90 N/A?

    You could safely go anywhere between +25 to +45 with an 8" wide rim without any scrubbing issues. (and appropriately sized tyre to suite, like a 235)

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    UpGarage would be a great place to start as well. It's not in english, but for browsing purposes there're stacks upon stacks of good quality japanese aftermarket rims with heaps of designs out there. Many of them are cheap, too. Tempe's good to look at designs, but don't buy anything there. It's all cheap, china made crap. Shit build quality and high weight versions of good Japanese wheels.

    You can see benny's AMC's on there. If you find some you like, either translate the page (or browse on google chrome) or post the link here and somebody will tell you what they are. The offsets are almost always listed as well.

    How about D1R's? $1400 from Tempe for wheels/tyres. Nice big dish on the 9" and 10"

    That was the first and only one i looked at.

    Only thing is calculating if I could fit the 9"'s on the rear and what sort of offset I could get away with.

    Check out Yahoo Japan too! - browse via Import Monster as it's already translated for you! - then contact Jesse Streeter to buy & ship them!

    I bought ROH modenas for my Z! - not cheap though! :eek:

    You can fit 9s easy, depends on what tyres you want to run on it and how flush you want it. I had 17x9+35 on the rear previously... quite sunken though

    Shame, these look to be +35 all round. I'm after something more aggressive (eg. +12F, +22R).

    I've been a member before, but wheels didn't fill the guards. I'm just after a change & can't fit larger brakes behind my current wheels :(
    What offsets are you running again?

    Try the Skyline forums m8. The offsets are similar to the Z and some good bargains to be had...

    Good luck :)

    R: 19x10.5" +35
    F: 19x9" +15

    Perfection would be for me:
    F: 19x8.5 + 30
    R: 19x9.5 + 35
    Neutral Camber.

    Doable on 35 tyres?

    Or should I step it down and stick to some 18"s
