This won't fit on any Nissan. Do not buy.

This will fit a 240sx with 4 lug wheels.

offset is measured in MM from the center of the rim. the +35 puts the "spokes" closer to the outside (lip), and puts more rim closer to your wheel well than the +12 mm offset. If this doesn't help you, just type it into google or somethin, I'm sure you can find some pics explaining it better.
