I have a 95 300zx and some 17x8.5 wheels. Offset 30. Should I put spacers or should I be fine.

Best bet is to put them on, bolt them up, set her down, and see if there are any rubs and decent space from the fender, spacers put unneeded stress on the hubs and studs,

That size and offset you will be fine.

And spacers essentially do the same as a lower offset wheel. Some say its more dangerous, some say its just fine. It mainly creates a problem when using sub par material for the spacer and stud or if you add a spacer but keep the same size studs as stock. That's when it will add more stress than needed because less thread holding the nut on.
