300TT rims on FC?

Hey guys. Well one of my friends just got some Racing Hart M5s on his 300zx TT. I am sure he will let me use his stock rims if I want. I was wondering if anyone knows what the offset is on those. I know they are 16" and I think 16x8(or 7, not sure). Also does anyone have a pic of them on an FC? Thanks.

How's this? This is my 10th AE with the 300ZX TT rims. They fit fine, although I had to use a spacer up front. I'll try to measure it later to give you the correct size.

I'm running 225/50-16s all 'round. I might end up going larger in the rear though.

Thanks alot. Those tires look alot thicker than I would run though. I would like to not have to use a spacer if possible. Hope I don't need to.

I think the turbos were 16" x 8" and the non-turbos were 16" x 7"?
I believe the 8" wide offset was around +35mm, which would make them slightly too deep for the front - 8" front with 225 wide tire is ideally +27mm offset for FC.

Ryde or die,

To make a long story short. My dad has a 86 300t, and a 92 300tt. He put some rims on the 92 and left me with the stock ones. I was pumped. Those stock 300 rims are one of the best looking stock rims. Anyways, just when I was going to put them on, my ma took them to a scrap yard. I was pissed, but all in all most definately put those rims on. I was going to powder coat mine black, and oh yea there much wider. I think 16 by 8 is correct.

BTW Ted, the rims are from the TT, and they're 8.5 front. 9.5 in the back. At least, that's what the tire shop told me. I haven't actually measured them yet.

Well I have 2 friends with 300TTs both have been running 225s up front and 245s in back. I would want to run them with no spacers if possible. Think they would look real good. I'll see if I can use them and see how they fit.
