I'm looking at a set of (4) 17x7 Maxxim Ferris rims with a +40mm offset. i was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are a logical fit without investing in wheel spacers or what not to clear the caliper?

 

You can go on Zbum site and they have the dimension for these Z32 on there .. think +40 is a little high offset for this z32 but you can check with you local wheel dealers

 

couldnt find much and the local dealer pretty much told me my best bet was with OEM size tires and rims... not what im looking for.. Did come across a 18x8 Konig zeros wrapped with 225/40/18 and 48mm offset. everything seems right just the offset working with the caliper or might have to get spacers. Any insight is appreciated! trying to get this done asap

 

I think 7" wide wheels are narrower than stock.
NICO Club says NA are 16" x 7.5" w/ 45mm offset
Turbos are the same in the front but 16" x 8.5" 35mm offset in the back.

I use 1010 Tires to compare sizes: 1010TIRES.COM - Wheel Offset Calculator which says your 17x7/40 would lose 1mm clearance.
