nah its not bad, could be better though. +30 is safe (same as R32 GTR-clears all)
i say +30 to +20 is best though (and 'safe'-but id for less then +20)

Thats the only offset offered in that lug pattern and size.... It'll clear Z32 brakes, but worse case scenario, I might get a 5mm spacer to make them +30 all the way around.

those wont clear Z brakes just FYI, you have to run at least 12mm worth of spacer if you have 30mm calipers.

Otherwise, NICE WHEELS! :)

Ah.... thanx again. You gotta love Boltaflex. Looks like leather, feels like leather, and cost 1/3 of leather. :D
