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.

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.

Looks OK, looks pretty much stock except for the mild drop.

Just because you can't tell it by looking at the exterior, doesn't mean it was stock.
