how can i get this to fit?

I know I might get some flames for this, but I don't care. I actually like these wheels and they look good to me. How can I get them to fit though?

Wheels Here

Brand : ADR M-Sport
Bolt pattern : 5 x 114.3
Size : 19 x 8.5(front) & 19 x 9.5(rear)
Offset : 35mm(front & rear)
Lip size : 2.5" (front) & 3"(rear)
Finish : Hyper Black With Machined Polished lip

I know ADR's aren't the best but they do look good on 350z and I've seen them in person on other cars plus one Z. They don't look bad at all.



With the 35mm offsets, can I get some spacers to get them to fit without rubbing? Would I have to roll my fenders? What spacer sizes should I run? 20/25? 15/20?

I really like the flush look. Also my car is NOT drop at all, but MAY (just a maybe) drop in the future with 350z H-techs.

Thanks for the help.

Not to thread jack, but if it's a 35mm offset and you get 20mm spacers, is that essentially equivalent to a 15mm offset?

I believe so. Also I have the Brembos, this should clear them should they not?

I would go 30mm spacers all around and roll your fenders

30mm? that's really big. Why would you do that? And would that be safe?

Because that is the size of spacer that would be need to make those wheels flush and look good IMO. The offsets are horrible to start with, so extreme measures would be needed to get them to look good to me

let me guess...u saw those on ebay for $650 right? take a look at those RUFF wheels, u can get a +20 offset & they almost look the same if not better. but i am not sure about the weight on either of these, if that might be a concerne of yours. just seems like alot to go through to save a buck.

What RUFF wheels?

Like I said in my orignal post, I like these wheels and I've seen them before. They do look pretty good. I did some searching and looks like a lot of people are running 25mm spacers. How well will that make it fit with brembos? Again, i'm at stock height.

Ruff Racing wheels... they make a lot of styles and they're inexpensive - probably because they're heavy and not very good quality.
