Wheel related questions.

Hi there.

I don't have my 7 with me, so I can't measure myself, that's why I'm bothering you guys

I took a pic of the inside of my rotor wheel, and it says the size is 13x5.5 with a 25 offset.

Could someone please tell me how much clearance do we have between the wheel and the shock/coil?

The other thing I would like to know, is the distance between the wheel and the fender. Not upwards, but to the outside.

Thanks in advance!

PS forgot to ask. Anyone running 240z fender flares could please tell me how much width they gained?

I have Konig 15x7 with a 20 offest, I'm running Dunlop Direzza II 205/50x15 on them now.
Everything clears except the front fender inner lip rubbed a bit on hard cornering. I ghetto rolled
them and pull the lip a bit and that cured it. My suspension is riding on RB springs
with one coil cut.

Probably if I didn't have the coils cut, it would not have rubbed.

I also run 15x7 (+20) Konigs with Hancook 205/50R15's, on RB springs. They're even with the fender lip, and the fronts ride about 1/4 inch off the strut. I have no rub issues.

Thanks guys

I wanted to run 3 inch flares, and I´ve been offered a set of 15x10.5 with 0 offset.

Trying to figure out if I might be able to make them fit under the flares

This topic confused the hell out of me - and I wasn't comfortable buying anything until I found some members who had what I wanted, and had pictures of how it fit. I used the tool at this site - which helped reassure me a bit:
