19x7.5 wheels??

Will 19X7.5 wheels fit under a 1989 280zx? Offset is 45...
They are a really good deal!

as long as your tires are the right size and you mean 79 not 89

Yep... you'd need spacers. And 19" wheels on 280zx would be horrible... It wouldn't look good, and you'd need crazy low pro tires to get them to fit right.

I guess if you want the "gangsta mob blades on an old Datsun" look...

Thanks Nismo! I dont want that! lol. I know that 0 offset is what we are looking for, but do you know how high of a +offset we can do without spacers?

Highest I was able to go was +18 without spacers on a small 15x7 wheel. I don't know if that will change as the diameter increases. I did run a +38 16x8 wheel but that required a 25mm spacer. I think anything +15 and below should be fine.
