Help!!! Another Offset question

Ok, so I bought a set of 18x8.5 +36 and 18x9.5+35 wheels from memoryfab.com, they show up and the rears are +42!!! They refund me back part of my money so i'm cool with the price. I really like how they look and they are clean. Will these even be worth trying to fit because I plan on a z32 brake upgrade with my 5 lug swap. Help me out. I know all about offsets for a S2000 because its my main car and I bought my 240sx and Sr20det for a toy so I could beat up on a car but now I want to make it really nice. thanks

I have a S13 as well if that helps

brake clearance is 100% dependent on spoke design, they MAY (probably will) hit your coilovers, nothing a spacer cant fix, though.

I understand that spoke design is a huge factor but i'm more worried about them hitting the struts and sinking into the fenders. A +35 offset like I had been told they were would have been almost perfect but +42 may look bad. They will fit my S2000 but I have a set of SSR Type C 17x7.5 +40 and 17x9 +40. they look perfect and fit a BBK so I don't want to change them.

Like Pank said.

All you have to do is get yourself some spacers.

I would say 15mm or 20mm spacer for the rear and maybe even a 10mm for the front just to be cool.

Whatever.

Edit: Oops just saw that your from OK, no wonder for the inability to understand what Pank said.

And yes I'm originally from Texas. Thus the mandatory hate.

I'm waiting on the circuit sports ver. 2 5 lug hubs with extended studs to be released and i'm buying them. You think 10mm or 15mm spacers would work? I didn't even think of that. Thanks for all the quick responses and while its being said, Down with the longhorns!! haha I'm an OU fan.

With those sizes, you need to drop the offset down to +20 to make them pretty flush.

Or I can use a 15mm spacer and not rub even If i drop it nearly 3 inches. I'll run around with it dropped like 2.75" most of the time though
