Default 350z 17in stocks rims on 92 sc300

I recently. Bought staggered 17x7 front, 17x8 rear tires for my stock sc300. Would I need spacers or will the bolt right up, the guy I bought them from said I wouldn't. Need spacers. Also what type of rotors and break pads do I need for these wheels. Lastly what type of nuts fo I need to fit the wheels, my understanding I need 5x4.5 lug nuts, but I'm not sure

you won't need to change any brakes or anything? they're just wheels and if you have stock brakes they'll fit. any lug nuts will work, dude what??? i'm sorry but do you know what you're doing? read the wheel thread it's a sticky.

They will bolt on with absolutely no modifications. Although, I do recommend spacers so they look more flush because the offset is going to be very sunken but that's solely for looks only, nothing more. Your brakes have absolutely nothing to do with mounting wheels unless you had an aftermarket brake kit. Post some pictures!!

I currently have 17x7's in front and they're perfectly flush. I don't know what the offset is, but I'm guessing somewhere around +30. lequanus27 said it's for a stock SC300, but I don't see any mention of them being stock rims. Mine fit over LS400 calipers with a ton of room to spare.

Downside of opening all unread threads at once and going through and reading/responding: you tend to miss the title of the threads. So, scratch what I said previously about there being no mention of stock rims. 350Z rims, right there in the title. Just not stock SC rims.

Yea, that's what I meant. Well my friend said I didn't need spacers but I asked on here and one guy said I did, if so size would I need for the spacers to fit the wheel

I believe there are a couple different sizes of 350Z rims, which might be part of the confusion.

Holy crap I hate how some people lack reading, comprehension, and research ethic. I also hate people who call wheels tires, and tires rims. Also, people who think these cars are Hondas and can't afford to make them right. I mean, my car is a total pile of ****, but the swap is proper.

But rant over, yes, they fit. You can space your tire all you want if you can figure out how that would work, but your wheels will not require spacers. Ls400 brakes for under the 7spoke 17 inch z wheels fine. they look decent enough too. It's one of my frequent wheel setups, I go through tires a lot because I beat the **** out of my car. Mk3 supra saw blades also fit with no spacer. Mk4 na 16s require a spacer. My volk 17x9 +35 require spacers.
