Haha yea I know I really messed up with the offset on the rims. I bought these wheels awhile ago, not knowing wat I was doing. I plan on getting new wheels down the line but at the moment its not an option. So my question still is what is it going to take to make these work with 30mm calipers. I was told that a 10mm or 15mm wheel spacer would work... What do you think?

my weak setup has 40mm w/30mm calipers, i needed about 1/8inch or ~3.2mm before i grinded down the "Nissan" lettering.
Given that, you'll need at least another 10mm of clearance and also longer wheel studs. you can get the nismo studs at courtesy nissan. i agree with JDMxDrift about the wheel spoke design playing a HUGE role.
my suggestion to you is the most obvious one TEST FIT THE DAMN THING:
remove your stock 240 caliper, mount up the 300zx caliper on the 240 rotor, then mount your wheel on the car. you can even get different size spacers from Pepboys for test fitment [get a refund after you're done]., then simply try to rotate your wheel and see how much damage is done.....bottom line is you'll probably end up selling your "gay" wheels.
problem solved. go home and try it and then come back and ask questions...."NO MORE ANSWERS FOR YOU!" until you try that.
we're all curious to see if your wheels fall off OR will they fit.
sincerely,
"The Wheel ****"
