Hey guys,

Today I bought some 300ZX wheels, 16x7.5 +45 and 16x8.5 +35 with rubber for $260. Now I've heard that with stock rubber, the front ones won't clear the strut, is this true? It's an S13 with stock suspension, it also has HICAS.

Now, if I were to buy the Circuit Sport 5 Lug Convesion Hubs with the 70mm studs, would I still have to shorten the studs to install a 20MM spacer, as I would do with the stock studs? Or is it possible to safely install a slip on spacer because the studs would be 70mm, not the stock 42mm.

i don't think so i don't see why the wheels wouldn't work

you don't need to shorten the extended stud. if it comes with extended stud, you can put the slip on spacers. if you have the stock stud then get the spacer that comes with studs on it.

why don't you just try to put them on? If they rub then you will need to figure out some spacers If they don't, then don't worry about it. Seems kinda obvious to me.

are you 5 lug now?if not, get the wheel hubs and open ended wheel lug nuts, no need to cut off the excess bolt you paid good money for.
