Sorry it was for the question about modding the car to make them fit. Not at your response.

And wait are they 15x7 of 15x9? 15x9 is a different story in fitment Just ignore me.



Bluemonkey do you need a pic of the front or the back of the fuse box?

Ideally just facing the top of the fuses, the lower left connectors and the top right corner. The wires come off the steering column area and one jumps into a line near the top left connector and the two quick connects are on the bottom left connectors. One is a fat white wire, forgot the other colors though.

Just got my weapon r intake manifold and ill be ordering a p2r intake manifold gasket soon. Can't wait to install. I'll install my valve cover I painted blue and a valve job at the same time. I'll also get it tuned. Can't wait to see the gains.

Depends on offset, if I find some cheap adapters, I'll be running 17x9 215/45

With adapter should be around -10 offset or so, wheels are +15 but 4x114.3

How is that honestly possible? Do they rub when you turn? It just doesn't seem like they would cause any problems.

TR 15x7 +42 with the star specs in 195/50/15. its been a lil delayed due to the scam that the guy tried to run on me on craigslist but if any of you guys know someone who wants some 2005+ 350Z wheels in near perfect condition, lemme know

The only issue from anyone that has attempted to run these, jdmchris, said you might need a spacer because on a 15x8 with a 225/45 it rubs his sway bar at full lock, well I have aftermarket custom endlinks and my wheel is NO where close to it, I also am not hella dumped, and I have -3.0 degrees camber in the front. I also, a long time ago, did the fender liner trick where you pretty much push it further up in your wheel well. I am using NO spacers on the front, my fronts are NOT rolled.

Lucky..? Lol

Have you tried posting the Z wheels up on a nissan forum? I know a guy that those on his 240 and they look great. Maybe a drifting one or even ebay. For shipping just take one wheel and have UPS estimate the shipping cost then x4. Or you could always sell them one at a time.
