I was wondering what the lug pattern was for a NA 1990 300zx, looking to get some new wheels, i'm not sure about staggered or not or even what size.

I'm looking at 3 options: 17s all around, 17s in front 18s in rear, 18s all around.

I'm wanting to avoid wheel spacers too, what type of offset will i need in order to do this, currently i have stock NA brake rotors and calipers, but wanted to maybe swap up to the TT calipers and maybe a brake rotor upgrade, not a big brake upgrade but just a better setup than stock, wondering what i need to do now to avoid complications later. Also plan on lowering the car on some tien s-tech springs.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

:tantrum: SEARCH :soap: SEARCH :argh: SEARCH. depending on how wide your wheels are your offset will change. the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 (same as 300gt, mustang, 07+ subarus, etc, etc.....) Many wheels will fit. do some searching then use this site: http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp to figure out what your new offset should be. and for gods sake SEARCH!!!!! this has been cover hundreds if not actually thousands of times.

The Nismo Rays in 18 are pretty fresh to death too.
