Message	During my build I added the Akebono brake kit to my Z. They look great and from all of the reviews that I have read should be a lot of fun. The downside is that my front wheels no longer fit. I have Blitz Type 03's 18x9 +41mm with 245/40-18 rubber. I ordered a 20mm spacer and it did push them out far enough to clear the caliper but also pushed my wheel out past my fender, and I really don't like the way that looks, plus I was worried about rubbing. So at this point.... 1) Does anybody have (2) 18x9 blitz 03 +22mm that they would like to trade for 18x9 +41mm ? 2) Any other suggestions on how to get my current setup modified to allow my current rims to fit? 3) What rims sizes are people running who actually have this setup? Thanks! My Space Red Point Fitness Madhatter10-6: 1991 Twin Turbo Stage: Sneaky
