15x8 wheels and offset

[Wes]

I'm about to order a set of 15x8 wheels but want to check offset.
They are available in minus 8.

Is this going to be about right on a 240z? I don't want them to be to wide for standard but not wide enough for flares.

Cheers,

Wes

With 215/60 tyre size (Close to oem tire diameter) the package will stick out around 40 mm more than oem wheel. You should check twice.

Thanks!

For an 8X15 to fill the arches but not stick out you need to be in the region of zero offset

IMO

So -8 will stick out but prob not enough for flares!

Maybe, the other issue's could be, depending on how low your suspension is of course, is the tyre rubbing on the underside of the wheel arch when the car rolls during hard cornering and front tyres rubbing on the edge of the spoiler when the wheels are turned
