Wheel offset question

Im just wondering, because its all pretty confusing to me, what offsets will actually fit onto my Z. Its a 92 2+2. I know that the stock offset is 35mm, but what else will work? Thanks

actually on TT's the stock offset in the front is 45mm (7.5"wheel), and 35mm(8.5" wheel) in the rear.

and for the gazillionth time. offset isn't as imortant of a detail on aftermarket wheel design. it depends on the design of the actual wheel. My wheels were 35mm offset, and a spacer still had to be used. it just depends.

hopefully this will help.

So i found these rims for a great deal, they're 17x7.5 Enkei zr1's with a 40 offset. Anyone have anything like this on their Z? Or what about enkei RPM2's that are 18x7.5's with a 42 offset?

Either of those will fit fine according to the offset measurment. But read this thread to gain a little more understanding of the other measurments involved in getting wheels to fit.

This helps people from time to time as well for understanding wheels and offsets.
