Anyone use 300 ZX rims on their 4th gen

These are 5X114.3 bolt pattern 16X7.5 rims. I can't find any center hub bore info but does anyone know if these'll fit on a 4th gen. I found someone selling snow tires on these rims cheap and was considering them for winter beaters.

No pics, but they will fit just fine. Same center bore & lug pattern.

they fit.
In perspective, the offset is different, they'll likely stick out further than stock.

Please, when you ask a question like this, specify the year of 300ZX/car. I think we all assume you mean a Z32 but......

You're mistaken.

But thanks for playing.

Yeah, but they are only 7" wide. So the 16x7.5 he was referring to are Z32 wheels. I hate being wrong, I'll settle for half right.

I found the site to buy them for $189 for 8.5" width. Heres the link to the site http://catalog.thewheelwarehouse.com...x&cPath=42_481. I am about to replace mine stock SEL rims with these 300zx wheels and i have question if 8.5" in the back will require the wheel spacers and how big they should be?

i think there the N/A wheels.. Also you do guys know the wheels do get mounted on the tire a certain way. The smaller fin spoke is suppose to go against the wind so it cool's the brakes down

Yeah I did. Function > form, I wanted the 245s up front where they actually did something. And as for lighting, those were driving lights, not fog lights (only came on with high beams) and I tucked them away pretty well.

Later I got rid of the extra lights and had the wider TT rear wheels all around though.
