Hi, all.
Like the question says, will 16"x8.5", 40mm offset wheels, fit a 95 Q45?
This would be used 300ZX TT wheels ... what is a good price for such used wheels in decent condition?

Yes! theey are ideal and cost the dealer arouind $300 each brand new...............if perfect $150 each [in 8.5" vs the more common 7.5" which might bring $100.
The problem is like all wheels after a few years [50,000 miles] they get out of round on the inside flange.I recently paid $300 [4-7.5"]had to drive to Bham, AL to pick them up and two will need repair say I'll have have $125 in each one when finished ...........still inexpensive compared to junky aftermarket wheels and they only weigh 16 pounds , the 8.5" weigh 17.5 pounds.

Make sure each wheel is good by mounting them alone on a spin balancer and making sure no lip requires more than 10.0 grams to balance to zero [3-5 grams would be better and roughly what they are brand new].
The standard 300zx 16 x 7.5" work fine also and should be around $80-$100 per wheel if close to spec.
Sometimes you go thru 8-10 wheels to get 4 suitable ones if used but that beats paying $1200 new with a discount.
Remember these wheels are directional there are left and right wheels.

That is what I was planning to do - just was not sure of how much to expect. Thanks much for the info!

Blow outside air on the rotors perhaps?maxnix wrote:Don't know what they would do rotating backwards.
