Guys, I need your help & opinion please regarding this wheel.

Car is a 92' S13- Stock struts with Eibach sportlines. 30mm Z32 calipers.

Wheel is TSW Nogaro- 17x8 +20 offset.

However, Got a couple of tech guys telling me to go for the +40 offset to clear Z calipers.

What do you think? Will this work with stock struts?

Thanks,

Kevin

You shouldn't need to have a different offset to clear z caliper, 17 will usually always clear. The +20 is your ideal offset, not +40. And for the rims, i dont personally like them that much, but it doesnt really matter what i think. It is your car and you should do with it what you want

Caliper clearance is dependent on spoke design and hub mounting face.

If you look at the application guide on TSW's site, they say the 17x8 +20 Nogaro fits the Z...http://www.tsw.com/details.php..._1990

if they dont, just slap on a spacer.. 17x8 +20 wont be flush with the fender anyways..anything ~8" wide, from my own experience, +17 is good enough flush

then again.. camber plays a big role.

do they offer those is 17x9 and up?

If the wheels fit a Z, they'll fit a 240sx with Z brakes.

They are good looking wheels. No 17x9's though...

I wish they did! 17x9 is THE size I want. I'd be all over them. I really am a sucker for 5 star wheels, but think I've settled for Enkei RPF1's. 17x9, & I know they'll clear those brakes.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have TSW's in a +20 offset, and they would clear 2 z calipers... there is insane space
