Z32 300zx wheels on an fc?
I just came across a sweet deal on a set of z32 wheels with tires. I've been looking to replace my old messed up wheels for a while now and this seems perfect. Has anyone ever run 300zx wheels on an FC before?
Would I have to run spacers? Offset? I don't know much about wheels.
Could someone post up a picture of how it would look like on an FC?
Thanks!

Well that depends on which wheels they are..
The TT(twin turbo) z32 wheels came in 16x7.5 +45 with a 225/50-16 tire front, and 16x8.5 +34 with a 245/45-16 rear.
I'm assuming they are the NA(naturally aspirated) wheels(which would mean they are 16x7.5 +45 all around)
I would go with either a 20mm, or 25mm bolt on spacer all around to be safe. Also, you may have to roll your fenders, but I doubt it.

Seller said they're 16x7.5 (the picture i posted is the actual set) with 16x225x50 tires. I'm at stock height but saving up for coilovers currently so I don't think I'll have to worry about rubbing

1: get z32 wheels
1.5:get spacers
2: get coils
3: look very good, for a decent price.
On a side note, I seen a set of Tein coils for less than $200 on ebay, get them rebuilt for another $3-400(assuming they're blown) and have $1500 coils for $5-600.

yes, you are exactly right..
steps;
1: get z32 wheels
1.5:get spacers

When it comes to fitment I doubt it could be worse than this. I'm just curious as to how those wheels would look on an FC.
Where are these tein coilovers?!?!

Who the **** do you think you are? He's putting god damn Nissan wheels on a Mazda to save money on new wheels anyway so why he **** would he care about spacers to make them look "good"? Here's an idea... spend the $130 you were going to spend on spacers to buy better wheels all together!
And second, what the hell crawled up your ***? "Who the **** do you think you are?" I could've sworn I threatened you in some way, with that sort of comment. Chill out a little man.

To the OP. These wheels SHOULD fit. The bolt pattern is the same, and if I'm remembering correctly, FC turbo stock wheels are 16x7+45, so they shouldn't rub on your stock suspension components.
And no. You will not need to roll your fenders to run these wheels on your stock setup.

My $.02... Not everyone on this forum wants your advice on how to slam their cars. This guy here is a prime example. ALL he wants to know if these wheels will fit AT ALL on his stock FC.

I was only trying to help the guy get a better look from some otherwise average looking wheels.
I'm sorry OP, I didn't mean to try and help you make your car look better.
kay everyone happy now?
for the record, stock fc t2 wheels are 16x7 +40 meaning the 16x7.5 +45 z32's will be ~18mm or 3/4" closer to stock suspension, and yeah they shouldn't cause any issues, unless you have an enormous tire or something.

I don't see why you guys have to make this a big deal honestly. I appreciate all your help. I'm going to mount the wheels and see how they look and go from there on whether or not I want to run spacers. Again thank you for all your opinions I got my answer and then some.

I agree but these will hold me over for now I guess. I can always sell them when I want to buy new wheels. They flow a little better with the car than the old wheels did

Honestly, the rear looks like it could use some spacers.
