Definitely make sure on next purchase that they will clear the Akebonos. I'm not sure what the minimum measurements are for that (someone here might know), but if it didn't

I'm not sure what the minimum measurements are for that (someone here might know), but if it didn't come off of a sport package Z, its 50/50 at best that they will fit yours. I'm sure you'll be able to re-sell -- good luck!

As others have stated, I would not bother running these wheels
Too many times I have seen sellers assume that wheels can fit the buyers brake setup. It's up to you to do the research prior |

Well i wouldn't exactly go that route, you just have to do more research like you said and really just ask for pics of what they came off. $2500 is a lot to spend on used rims IMO and I know your pissed to have these sitting up when they should be on your Z, but guys tend to flock to these wheels so they should go pretty soon, more than likely after the holidays.

well considering i run them right now on a sport packaged z I think you'd be okay but yea always have to do extra research when buying used.

Enough that you need to get one of these to run them:
SPL Pro Suspension Front Camber Arms **PRE-ORDER** Your stock front arms are very limited in adjustability Like I said prior, you were told the wrong info from the seller. Just sell them to someone else and cut your losses |

just make sure you buy slightly more conservative offsets. Like if the fronts are 9.5" go with +25 to +30 so that if you need to put a spacer on you can.
Most of the time you wont see a seller put the disk type because they dont know either. Just hop on google next time you see a wheel your interested in used and find out from different pics if that wheels fits over BBK or sports brakes. Youv learned the hard way but youll never make the same mistake again. |

It would look weird though without doing a similar setup for the rear and you would wear out your tires both quicker and in a less normal fashion. Just forget it, not worth it |
