Hey i really want to buy a set a ADR Battle Exe 18" for my 300, i know the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 Offset +35. My question is will these work 18x7.50 5x100/114.3 i think the offset is 42, those number are very different, but the websites i keep finding these wheels on says the will fit the car, now am i going to have to buy wheel spacer's or what? any idea's or any info anyone has let me know. Thanks.

+35 is definitely the highest offset I would ever put on a Z32, and depending on how well they fit, I might get spacers to flush them out with the fenders. Also, If you're lowered, you'll most likely need to roll/pull the fenders to prevent rubbing, them being 18" rims.

The car isn't lowered as of rite now, i don't plain on lowering the car anytime soon, if anything im just going to beef up the suspension, IE better shocks and struts. But i will be going to a lower profile tire with a stiff sidewall to keep from rolling the tire's... All im wondering is if the rims will fit on the car or not, or if im going to need a wheel spacer, i really like and want these wheels, but if they wont work then i have a back up plain. I can always go down to a 17" if 18"s are going to be to much, and just lower the car around the tires.

Well, just FYI shock=struts, and if you are going for more aggressive springs, then you'll have to go lower, unless you do a coilover setup that allows for stock ride height while maintaining an aggressive spring rate.

But from strictly specs, yes the wheels will fit. They might not be flush with the fenders, i.e. "sunken in" but yes, they will fit. Shouldn't be any clearance issues with the suspension and will clear the brakes fine.

Ok then tell me what size should i get, that will give me an aggressive stance, that will flush out the wheels with the wheel wheels, and will look good IE. not to small or to big.

I realize the car already has an aggressive stance, i would like to enhance it with some wheels..

Im looking for help, not criticism but hey ill take whatever i can get at this point.

This is my first Z and im not going to rice it, i want a clean car.

No, those belong on a honda too, Check out Rimtuck.com and you can search for your vehicle.

With that width, I'd have to agree. Go wider.
