FN01R-C come in at least 4 offsets in 17x8 to fit our lug pattern.
the 35mm fit just fine over my brake kits, but with the cobra rotors, they will need spacers.

The wheels I bought off an old .org member that wrecked his car for $800, and then I paid another $320 for all 4 tires and had a friend mount and ballance them for free. Getting 2 new tires today because my front are completely smooth, not even 1mm of tread left, so thats another $300 (friend cant do it for free anymore

Yeah - that's the idea.
I'm going to replace all the rear lug bolts with longer ones as well, even though some say you don't have to with 5mm spacers - just to be safe.

Ummm.....
Spacers are only needed if you don't have the right offset and spoke design on your rims.
I was well aware of the possibility before I started my project.
And who cares if the pad doesn't rub to the center of the rotor. The pad itself makes full contact and stops like mad.
Look at a Wilwood BBK - same thing.

ill prolly do that too......H&R spacers for the front....NISMO 50mm Studs for the rear with 5mm spacers...

I'll find out for sure on Friday when they get here.

I just got 2 boxes - 1 for the 15mm spacers and one for the 5mm spacers.
Both sets came with new studs. (20 total studs)
I can take pics if you need proof.

Welcome to the 300ZX BBK club! I have a bit if a write up on my domain page 3 if anyones interested. I'm waiting for my second set of 15mm H&R spacers for the rear. BTW G35 18" coupe wheels don't require any spacers I tried one on at the dealer.

Just discs and seperate lug bolts.
I see now - there's several models sold.
http://www.optionimports.com/h-r-spacer.html
The DR Series does not come with bolts, the DRS (what my receipt says I bought) do.
Although that says 10-40mm, and these are 5mm....hmmmm.

Update:
Got them installed and WOW my braking power is so much better.
I expected it to lock up too easily and be hard to drive - but really it's not a problem once you get used to it....just brakes WAY more effectively in general....especially coming down from high speed.
One of the best mods I've done yet....
