40+ Positive offset Wheel, will it work?

[Guest milmascaras]

I have a 1977 280z and have a chance to pick up the following wheels:

 

A set of Konig "Zeige" 17 x 7 wheels that came off a late 90's Honda Civic. They have a 40+ positive offset

The tires are Kumho ecsta 215 40/17

 

I know the 280z needs a positive offset in the 10 to 20 range. Would anyone recommend still purchasing these and fitting spacers or adapters? If so, any recomendations on where to find the adapters?

 

I will maybe picking up the wheels this weekend, if I here some positive news.

 

Thanks!

Buy some spacers... You need them.

I'm running 17x7's with 42mm offset and two piece 5 lug adaptors. I wish I would have ordered them with more offset so I could use a wider rim and tire, but I didn't have my coil overs yet...

E-mail or contact Ross @ Modern Motorsports. This link will get you to the catalog page. His spacers work excellent.

Wouldn't he need these? They are $30 cheaper too:

Phyte, the $30 dollar difference is between adapters from 70-78 or ones from 79-83. I own a 81 zx so that's why I chose that link I guess. I'm assuming the spacers have different thicknesses???
