Wheel Fitment?

I'm looking at Superlite Wheel, 15" x 8", 4 mm - Offset 4x110 all the way around. I will be installing the 240z flares so I want a wheel that will stick out and match the flare but will bot rub.

Will these wheels work?
Are these a good quality wheel?

thanks Chris

Good wheels, a bit pricey. Not sure if you need the + or - offset though. Read through my 'How To' in the archives on trimming out the fender lips. That's the only way you can fit 8" wide rims, especially on a lowered car.

I have read your How to, great info.

I looked into getting the RB wheels but they are only +20 offset. I would be happy with 15x7s if I can get some that have a good offset that work with the flares.

I don't want wheels that are skinny and stick out real far.

Does anyone sell a 15x7 or 15x8 0 offset wheel that has a similar look?

Try this website. You can plug in wheel and tire sizes to see what will/won't fit. I don't know how far the Z flares extend the fenders ofer stock, hopefully somone who has installed them will chime in.
