I'm planning to pick up a set this weekend, I'll be on stock suspension with full z32 conversion brakes front and rear.. tried my search but no dice since almost everything that pops up is the regular 16x7.5s up front.. anybody have pics?

found these but r32s are 16x8 with similar offset, I assume...

R32 gtr's are 16x8 +30 and the Z32 8.5s are +45 I think. Depending on what suspension you have, you probably don't have room for the extra 21mm of wheel on the inboard side compared to the GTRs. My R32 GTR wheels are pretty damn close to the coilovers, maybe 10mm at the absolute most.

300ZX Twin Turbo came with 16x7.5 fronts and 16x8.5 rears. N/A cars came with the 16x7.5's only. Here is a couple pictures of my car with the TT rims.

Probably doesnt help you much though...

edit:

Offsets are: 16x7.5 +45, 16x8.5 +35

I'm currently fitting a 17x8.5 +30 on my S13 now, so if anything you should be good with a 5mm slip on spacer.

Yeah I saw your car from the google search, it looks great! thanks! but I need to see how the rears on the front would look.. I just bought the wheels last night, I'll upload some pics soon.. I read somewhere, the rears will fit on the front, but I will need a fender pull.. now that I've gotten that figured out, does anybody else have any pics of what I'm looking for?

Like I said, I'm running a 17x8.5 +30 on my car right now, lowered 1.5 inches, about -1.0 camber and I didn't pull the fenders. You should be fine. I added a +5 slip on spacer to the front and the wheels sit flush with the body.

edit:

This is 17x8.5 +25 (with 5mm spacer).

Since the TT rims are 8.5 +35, just imagine my wheel but 10mm more inside. I would get a 5mm slip on spacer for desired results.

so I should be fairly flush then huh? I'm planning to cut my springs for a week or two until i get some agx shocks and I'm looking to tuck as much meat as I possibly can.. what size tires should I run?

It's a Xenon Lip and has been sold long ago haha.

For tires I'd probably go 215 up front and 235 in the rear. Or if you want to do all the same do 225's. 225/45
