zedevan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 offsets are generally measured from the midpoint of the wheel, so the numbers you've stated make more sense as a measure of backspacing, i can't remember the required amount for a zed but an offset of close to 0 is desired depending on the width of course so the offsets on the rims would be +6 on the front and -2ish on the back, so they would fit fine from my understanding of a 280zx (their rims are interchangeable with a 240/260 i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZG302 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 If that is the backspace measurement, ie from the back edge of the rim to the mounting face then they should fit fine. I just had a set of 18x8's made with a 95mm backspace to fit my suspension which has lowered spring seats on the struts and I can go a maximum of 100mm for backspace so you should be OK if the car has standard suspension or coil overs.
