Offset/Centerbore for these Nissan and Non-Nissan wheels?

I'm trying to get an idea of OEM wheels that would fit our car.
Any opinions on what looks good? I recall that Lexus GS 17x8 got rave reviews but apparently has a smaller centerbore.

Please correct any mistakes, and if known, weights would be great

Maxima/I30 15x6.5, 40mm offset, 66.1 centerbore
Maxima/I30 16x6.5, 40mm offset, 66.1 centerbore
Maxima/I30 17x7.0, 45mm offset, 66.1 centerbore
Nissan 300ZX 16x7.5, 45mm offset, 66.1 centerbore
Infiniti Q45 17x7.5, 45mm offset, 66.1 centerbore
Infiniti Q45 18x7.5, 45mm offset, 66.1 centerbore

Mazda RX-7 16x8.0, 50mm offset, 67.1 centerbore
Mazda Millenia 17x7.0, ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Lexus GS300/GS400 17x8.0, 50mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Lexus IS300 17x7.0, ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Acura CL 17x7.0, ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Acura NSX front 16x7.0, ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Mitsubishi 3000GT 16x8.0 ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Toyota Supra front 16x8.0 ??mm offset, ??.? centerbore
Ford Mustang Cobra 17x8.0? 32mm offset?, ??.? centerbore

Any others?

Anyone know the offset of Ford Mustang wheels? Cobra rims look pretty nice.

Would you happen to know the offset of a '95 240SX SE (with 5-lug rims as opposed to the lower trim's 4-lug wheels??)

Thanks, it would really help me out!!

If I'm not mistaken, these are the 16x6.5" 5-star wheels.
I don't know for sure, but I'd be very surprised if they were anything other than 40mm. AFAIK, all the other Nissan wheels of that size used that offset.

They would probably look very nice on a Maxima, as a change of pace from the 97-99 or 2k+ 16x6.5" wheels.

40mm offset is correct, I have them on my '95.

So does this mean that I should be ok if my aftermarket wheels (17x7.5) have an offset of 45mm or would I be better off trying to find a 42mm version?

I'm thinking of putting the 240SX rims on the Max..since the 240SX is on 15inch steelies with snows. However I don't want to put increased wear on the tires since they seem to be pretty good. Luckily both cars have the same tires (Michelin MXV4 205/55R16 on the 240SX and MXV4-PLUS 205/65R15 on the Maxima).

Re: Re: Offset/Centerbore for these Nissan and Non-Nissan wheels?

The FAQs say 35-40mm, but there are plenty of wheels used with 45mm offset. 300ZX rims for example.

Re: Re: Offset/Centerbore for these Nissan and Non-Nissan wheels?

Hence the thread...
I'm trying to make sure of the offsets and such so that we have an idea of what could fit the cars. I'm fairly certain that the Q45 wheels were 45mm offset. Those 2001 17x7.5 wheels were available in the same style 17x7.0 for the I30. I'm pretty sure that they were 40mm offset
