Offset Size??

Whats up fella's?? I'm going to swap to the z32 calipers here soon, however, what is the offset size that I need for new rims? Right now I have Hp's Evos 18x8.0 on the Max(97), and test fitted the z32 calipers but they rubbed the wheels even with a spacer. I was looking into getting news wheels like the axis se7en mod, or the axis spiders, but I want to know if those particular wheels would have the right offset to clear the z32's?? Your help is greatly appreciated...

Its not the offset that gets you in trouble with the 300ZX calipers, but the spoke design. For example: I'm running the BlehmCo front and rear Z32 BBK's. They fit with my 17x8 Konig Tantrums, and my 18x8.5 Volk LE37T's, both sets of wheels with +40 offset. Volk's are made for BBK period, so fit was not an issue. The Tantrums have the spokes out to the lip of the wheel, and have more clearance between the caliper and the spokes that the Volk's do. See Matt's web site for details. FYI, the white 5th Gen in the pics is mine.
