Will these wheels fit

[stony]

I'M going over to look at these wheels tonight. Anyone have any experience with 240sx wheels and what offsets or backspacing they run. these wheels are 17x 9.5 and look like they sit pretty flush with the sx fender. I'm assuming i will need spacers to get them to clear the struts on a 280z?

 

They are xxr 527s

These dont look like 17s but i think they look good on a Z

240sx's like positive offset. The stock 15x6 wheels are +40 offset. When you get to wider rims it gets lower, but its still probably like +10 to +15.

 

For reference just browse through a few of these threads, its the Zilvia-for sale- wheels and tires section. Click on a few of the wider rims and check out what offsets they tend to run

From the sounds of it these particular wheels are +25 offset and if i use a 1.5 inch (38MM) spacer it would put them at -13 offset which shout fit stock struts with 17 inch wheels correct?

 

At any rate i'm going over to check them out tonight and will post results.

Did you ever take a look at the XXR wheels? I'm interested in the same ones and also have the stock struts (for now) but will have 1.5" flares s well. It sounds like zero or negitive offset may be a better bet for me. Let me know if they worked out.

Thanks

Bump to this, my brother bought these (XXR 527s in 17x9.75 +25) for cheap and I was hoping they would work on my car. I am running Ground Control springs and KYB struts with ZG flares. So will these fit???
