Possibly going a different route and need help

Guppy · 03-04-2013, 02:08 PM

As of right now I have Work Meister's on my 370 but I can get a good deal on some unique wheels that I don't think many people would even be tempting to buy or put on a Z, but I'm looking to do something a little different. The problem is that I'm somewhat lost when it comes to offsets. Always confuses me. I have the chance to snag up some 19" Ferrari Scaglietti wheels for very cheap and thought to myself why not? Same bolt pattern. But the fronts are 8" wide with 43.5 offset and the rears are 10" wide with 51.1 offset. And from what I think I understand is that the rears would be sucked in even farther than the OEM Rays wheels which are already not very flush. I just need some help figuring out if they will be sucked into the fender too far that it would take too much spacing to have it sit flush or if it would work decent. Thanks for the help!
