The wheels I like come in 17x8 and 17x10 in my own custom offset. Well I don't want the 17x8's because I don't wanna run the 245's up front. I know that 17x9.5's fit up front but could 10's okay? I do believe that some auto-x cars run 11's on all fours with modifications so that leads me to believe that my beloved 10's could fit alright. I just wanted to make sure that these would work.

10's should be fine. Some folks running 11's have to run spacers...not sure if you'd need 'em with 10's though... :)
What are these mystery wheels? :)

i have had 19x10's on the front of my Z.
If you do go with a 10 inch wide wheel, get 7 3/8's inches of backspacing....it should fit perfect. ;)

Awesome....do you have pics of the wheels so I can see how it would fit? Is it those HRE's or whatever you had?

my new set that i am getting ready to have built (in my sig. ZE Forged) will be 19x10 fronts and 20x10 rears all with 7 3/8's backspacing
i will note this......one thing that IForged and ZE Forged can do, is before drilling the lug holes in the wheel centers, they can machine off alot or a little of the mounting pad. then just drill the lug holes more shallow, thus pulling the centers of the wheels under the car further....in turn giving the whole wheel alot more lip on them. not many wheel manufacturers will go to that much of an extreme for a customer.
my new setup i will be getting (as previously mentioned) will all have a 2 3/4 inch lip on the face side of the wheel. :cool:
