Get NA z32 rims. Relatively cheap.

16x7.5 and they clear all the z brakes. they aren't 4x114.

You can run OEM s13 SE wheels. They may not clear the 30 mm z brakes. They'll clear with some spacers. You also have to be careful of the type of SE rims you get because some have a different spoke design on the back that don't clear. Search to see how you can tell the difference.

Lastly, I don't think there is an oem 16x7 or 16x8 rim from Nissan in the 4 lug pattern. You'll have to go to other manufacturers to see what the offerings are. Then you need be sure the center bore is large enough to clear the Nissan hubs.

Long story short, conver to 5 lug. If you want to stay cheap, find the right se rims, and be happy with a 6" or 6.5" wide rim.

I'd personally go 5 lug, so you never have to deal with redrilling rotors again, and you'll be able to use a wider variety of rims.

Merry non denominational holiday.

thanks for your thoughts, i was thinking on going 5 lug but its not needed right now

im looking for stock rims cause i dont want aftermarket ones really, i like more casual looks

the sentra se-r spec v ones that clear brembos will clear my brakes, i dont got the 30mm i got the 28mm, helps a little, my stock s13 rims clear them, but barely

i just would like a wider stance than 7" and im just not a fan of 17's either

thanks for the info though

If I were to remain 4 lug, it's hard to say really. I love the P45R's to death, but they are so overdone now. I'm really into the idea of mixing and matching wheels, to be a little more original. So I'd probably go with:

17x9+25 P45R in Hyper Black.18x10+30 Motegi Touge in Gunmetal.

Concave in the front. Fat lip in the back. Minimal work (if any) needed to fit these and you can run meaty tires if you want. And depending on what kind of coilovers you have, you might not need spacers to clear upfront.

Is it hellaflush? No and I don't care. I can run 245/40 and 275/35's if I wanted and still tuck them under stock fenders with relative ease or I can stretch tires/slam like a piece of cake. It might not appease the forums... but who cares? It's good enuff for me.

Is there any difference between NA z32 rims and TT z32 rims? Both clear coilovers just fine right?

Yup, you're right.

OP, you're not gonna have any luck finding OEM 4 lug wheels in that width. 4 lug hubs were used mostly on economy cars or small sport compacts, so they came from the factory with narrow wheels. If you go aftermarket, you can find some nice inexpensive 4 lugs, or you could go to 5 lug (definitely recommended) and have many many many options on OEM wheels.

WHAT?!! You're not looking hard enough.

I got mine for $260, that's two 16x7.5 with 225 tires and 2 8.5's with 245 tire.

Why the different wheels? Just to get the 18" vs 17" in the rear? 17x9 and then 9.5, both +12 would be fine.

Of course I'm not too picky and am just running the 17x9 +12 front and rear. If you worry about looks and 'played out' then get them powder coated to your pleasure to 'stand out'.

I like to stand out w/o being flashy or gaudy. Pairing wheels like that makes a statement that I knew precisely what I was looking for and didn't just buy some random wheels without knowing anything about fitment.

From looking at the two styles of wheels, which compliment each other while still being notably different, you can easily tell that the owner is a pretty particular/picky about certain things.

But I do want to powdercoat a set of RPF1's in gold chrome... That's not too flashy/gaudy is it? Right?
