Does anyone know this? Chimmike? Zac? Flying V? I think it's 45 but not sure and couldn't find it in my search. And what can I get away with for an aftermarket rim bearing in mind that I don't have Brembos?

I just did a google search and I am finding everything from a 42 to a 48mm offset. sportcompactcarweb.com says its 48 in the spec v comparo to a lancer ralliart.
And so it's 47mm. SportCompactCar and Nissan USA say so. What about spacers? If I bought some with 42mm or 45mm, could I use spacers? Would this be complicated? Would this be stupid?
What do you mean? The minimum is 42mm? The stockers are 47mm but can I get away with 42mm?
Yes, thats what it means.
If you're having a question, go to tire rack or another wheel/tire shop. They will be able to tell you all that you need, plus set you up correctly ( right offset, tire size, rim width) for your spec-v

I'm actually buying used. I'm afraid of buying the wrong wheels. I guess I could just try them on as the condition of a sale.
Now I have to say, for stock wheels on the Spec-V, Nissan did alright. I have been looking for some wheels but, i have had no luck. what i am looking for is some wheels that will have the "deep dish" effect. I don't even know if they make them for this car. i've only found them for five lug cars. i don't want like a beemer deep dish like 5'' or anything like maybe atleast two. do they make these? i found a really nice set on Ebay and i emailed the guy and he said the lip is only 1'' but, when you look at the pic they look like 2-2 1/2'' atleast! another difficulty i have is i have the Brembos' up front. if i knew it would be such a pain in the @$$ to find wheels for this car w/ these brakes i woulda got stock brakes. One thing that i am really kickin' myself in the @$$ for too, (you can kick me too) is i did not get the ABS!!!! I wish i would have now! they stop you a lot faster than the stock brakes but, if you really need to get on them, good luck trying to keep the tires from locking. it's really annoying! So anyone know some sites i can go to, to look at some nice wheels?

Ray's Engineering makes the Volk and Gram Light line and they of exceptional high quality and very light. IIRC the Gram Lights 57C and 57 Pro both clear Brembos. The Volk TE37s do as well but they are 600 a wheel.
That link that you sent poppinj was pretty helpful. some of those wheels were nice. just not exactly what i was looking for. i guess i can't have my cake and eat it too huh? lol i just want some EFING SEMI DEEP DISH WHEELS!!! ah! i feel better now, no, not really, i still need some wheels. hmm? i noticed a few people said that with some spacers you could put almost any wheels on. is that true? or would that just be a stupid move? if i got with 18's do you think i wont need a spacer or special wheels or would the brembos still hit?
Well, if you've been searching for rims to fit the Brembos then I'm sure you've noticed that there arn't to many to fit the Brembo's rediculus 45mm offset. If you fall in love with a set of rims that have a 40mm offset, then a 5mm spacer will not hurt anything. A 4-5mm offset would be fine, but I would be hesitant to go any wider than that.
05ser, please dont get 18" deep dish chrome spinners. Get some nice lightweight 17" racing/tuner type wheels. Its a spec v, not a cadillac.
