I also had to have 25mm spacers made with 320mm discs, with rim spokes touching the caliper.

Ok so....
After so much looking for 4x114.3 wheels i decided to go for 5 stud. Can always fall back on 350Z wheels OEM skyline etc.
So 5 stud hubs on the way.
DriftZ helped me out with some mags. 17" 8j +45 5x114.3.
Going to have to make a small spacer otherwise the tyre is going to touch the coilover on the inside. 10-15mm
Have some awesome wheels coming in 4 weeks.
RB25SX helped with an ignition module. As soon as gary is back we can finish this long project.
