I put 300zx front brakes on my 97 240 the other day and noticed that the stock wheel will now no longer fit because the rims are rubbing the brakes. I need to know if anybody has some suggestions on what rims would fit for my new setup because i have to get the car out of my garage asap. I also would like to know if anyone could explain the whole offset thing when it comes to rims. Thank you guys for your help.

stock s14 se wheels wont clear z32 brakesyou HAVE to run spacers.

if you MUST get it out of your garage.. get some washers and stack them to clear for the time being.but be warned.. it HAS to be temporary because its not safe.

please research before you speculate.

Damn I didn't really want spacers because i didn't think it would be safe enough, but if that's my only option I guess i'll have to do it. Thanks for your time.

You can run 5-7mm spacers on stock studs safely. Beyond that and you'll want extended studs.
