starion wheel fitment with z32 brakes

[autox615]

I tried to search but came up with nothing, I know the +18 offset wheel will not fit even with a 20mm spacer. Has anyone fit the -10 wheels on the front, maybe with spacers?

inform me again the specs on Starion wheels? I could have sworn they were like 16x9 +0 or something...

btw, good luck fitting 9" -10's up front on stock fenders... yikes

I did a little more research, 16x8 -10, & 16x9 0, Sorry about that. I am trying to keep on a budget as much thats the main reason im looking into them, and im trying to do something a little different than the typical S14 . Also, they look really good for a stock wheel and are decently sized. I did a little bit of calculating, with a 16x8 -10 in the front and a 10mm spacer the outside of the wheel will be about 84mm farther out than the SE.

honestly, trying to calculate the offset does you no good man... because its not the offset that determines the brake clearance, its the inner spoke design that does.. cuz hell, certain models of s13 se wheels clear z32 brakes, and they're a 6.5" +45 or something like that...

and you know... I really doubt that they'll clear, but its nothing spacers wont fix.

btw, a 16x8 -10 with a 10mm spacer effectively makes that a 16x8 -20... which is gonna be tough stuffing that in the front stock fender.

I'm running starion wheels on my car 16x8 +11 in the front and 16x8 -10 in the rear i clear my zbrakes with a 25mm spacer in the front, and the -10's clear fine in the back. Hope this helps, also i believe the 16x8 +11 are sorta hard to come by, but good luck you might be able to find a pair. O yea and roll your fenders, it's a must and run a some negative camber. 205/50/16 fronts and 205/55/16 in the rear.

sorry for bumping this old thread, but i really didnt want to take up server space and start a complete new thread

so has anyone tested a 16x8-10 on front w/ q45 calipers? i know ill have to pull my metal fenders, but im doing it before paint.

at this point in life im making my car more practical as a dd and not so much show anymore. i plan on selling my full 30mm z32 calipers and 350z rotor upgrade kit to buy new q45 setup.
