Anyone know if the Blitz Type 03 +41h offset 18x8 rims will fit the OEM style S15 fenders with the required 15mm spacer to clear suspension? The fenders I ordered are frp so they can't be rolled if they are going to rub. My rims are gonna be a few months before they are ready.

it's going to look sunk like a battle ship. +41, your wheels rubbing the fenders are going to be the least of your worries. if you've got coilovers, you may need more clearance than just a 15mm spacer with that horrible offset.

When emailing phase with my questions regarding the blitz rims this is the email he sent in reply.Also I'd like to add my car is almost stock. In my spare room it looks like a warehouse. I have quite a few parts, but missing this that and the other so I havent put anything on yet. Intake, test pipe, and full 3 inch catback is all i've done. Conversion hubs, s15 conversion, paint, etc etc is all stacked up in my spare room. My 240 is at stock ride height and i plan on relocating the wiring harness out of the fenderwell and hide it up higher in between the fenders.Anyone who has these rims or knows about fitment your help would be much appreciated Also any help on S15 conversion install.Parts I have:Seibon S15 Carbon Fiber HoodS15 Drifter BumperS15 Oem Style FRP fendersS15 Type X Headlights-yet to order core supportI noticed stock 240sx core support is held on with spot welds.It looks like i can drill the welds and remove the stock core support.Anyone kno if I can just spot weld the S15 core support back in its place?

-----------Phase2 email follows------------------

Sorry for the late reply, the email got lost with a bunch of other SEMA-related emails...

First off, we do not have any wiring service for VG30DETT, and I would personally highly recommend AGAINST that swap. It will be a gigantic nightmare for you... if you want 6 cylinder turbo performance, go with a RB25DET swap. Much easier to maintain, too...

As for fitting the wheels:http://www.blitz-performance.c...3.htm

The "H" denotes high disk, which is required if you have Z32 or any 4 piston caliper setup (Nissan or aftermarket). The low disk offset will work with your stock calipers. Ideally the fitment would be:18x8" +3218x9" +32

If you want the wheels to clear front big calipers, you will need the 18x8" +41 and run a 15mm spacer (KICS or H&R) to clear the suspension.

MSRP is $740 and $760 respectively for the 18x8" and 18x9". Your price would be $625 and $640. This price is based on the regular silver color, if you want the Blitz Silver color (shinier silver) then add $40 to each wheel price.

Usually Blitz does not have these in stock, we have to order them and they take about 2-3 months to arrive. Since it is special order, we have to request a 50% nonrefundable deposit. Let us know if you want to get these wheels (or if there is another wheel that you are interested in).

For your information we also distribute Work Wheels.

Thanks.
