I have Rotas Tarmacs 17x7.5 in a 5lug. It doesn't clear 26mm calipers with out getting a 10mmn spacer.

"300zx brake conversation".. I never knew brakes could talk. :keke:

oh yah i forgot one thing...

ARRRRRRRRR I'm a rim pirate!

Seriously try for a wider wheel with a lower offset (atleast 8 inches wide with +15 or so).

7.5'' wide isnt to bad, but the offsets rotas come in hurt my face

if you can get a REALLY good deal, you can spend $200 on some spacers.

i think i changed my mind since the offsets suck at Rota....
i admit i dont know crap then it comes to wheels....
i am now thinking about a 17x8 wheel, what offsets are good for a 1995? some people tell me to run 17x9 but i think it is a little extreme... i want to use a 225/45/17 tire (i think).....
someone send me some cheap rims links and help me out

2 words for you.

Ford Mustang.

17x8 +22 and only about 200 for a set with tires occasionaly. Not the best looking rims but they definetly work. Cobra's came with 17x9er's I believe.
