Anyone Tried Z32 300ZX Wheels?

I found a cheap set of chrome Z32 300zx wheels and wondering what it would take to mount them on the FC? and wondering if it'd look ok. Anyone done this before? Pics? Photochoped pics?

Someone's done it before, I remember seeing a picture, i wanna say that the offsets are perfect too. Search on here for it, if not, try it, if anything buy some spacers to be safe.

Sorry to bring a post back from the dead here, but Z32 rims really fit? They're 16x7.5 with a 45mm offset front and 16x8.5 with a 35mm offset rear. When I ran the numbers, that sounded like it could cause some nasty rubbing (24mm less front clearance). People have run this without any issues?

You'll need a spacer in front, about 10-15mm. The rear should be fine.

You'll need to check to make sure the center bore is equal to or larger than the FC's.

This is my parts car.

It has Z32 wheels on the left side and steelies on the right side. I got it for 100 bucks. It's a perfect donor car to my black S5 T2. Also the perfect addition to this thread for pictures.

I know, it's the wheel from the other side. I only have 2. The car was sold to me like this ><. It doesn't have an engine so it doesn't go anywhere, as long as they hold tire pressure it's mobile!
