Depending on the offset, they should fit. Anything higher than a 30, they not gonna work, no pun intended. 35 offset on 8.5" wheel with 245/40 is not even a finger tip clearance on my car.
I'll be honest. It's gonna be damn close. I mounted just the wheels up front today and it was a few mm away from the suspension arm. Even with a 5-10mm spacer it could work, but not sure how much it will poke on the outside edge. It may be too aggressive for the amount of driving I do.
It may be safer just to with a 18x8.5 +32 on the 245/40 in the front? At least then it should fit a little more proper.
I will be mounting 2 wheel/tire tomorrow morning and do another test fit to see if it's possible. If not, will bite the bullet and downgrade, at least I will have learned something then.

damnnn sorry to hear that man. I'd say give it a shot and see how it turns out. But if you want to gurantee fitment and not worry.. i'd say go with the 8.5. OR if they have it, maybe a 9.0 if they got it if you want to stay in the 9" category

That's what I was afraid of when I saw the size and offset. With the size tire you plan on running on there as well, I'm pretty sure it won't fit. If you have some spacers lying around..give it a try...just let the jack down slow (not sure what you are dropped on...or how low you are now)Originally Posted by bowzer

sell the set to me i wanna go aggressive haha i kid stretch tires?
I'm dropped on 350z h&r springs. I do have some 20mm spacers around that I will try with the test fit of wheel/tire tomorrow. Here is a pic with them and the 20mm spacer. As you can see it sticks out a good bit, but I will find out for sure tomorrow. The only way to have these fit is to prolly really stretch the tire, i'm not willing to go that far.

If you get the Nismo kit and get these wheels on its gonna be hot!

I was wondering if those other boxes said 18x9.5" too yesterday when I saw those pics. Those wheels won't stick out that much because in the pics, there's no load on the suspension.
