5zigen FN01R-C 17x8 +35 offset 5-114.3

Will this work on a my 4th gen without any rubbing. More importantly will this clear Z32 calipers with 13inch rotor brake upgrade (jeff92se's kit).

I assume i can run a 235/45/ZR17 tire no problems?

Nice choice! Very curious to hear the answer to this. Kinda hard to find 17's that will clear the z32 bbk with 13" rotors lol (im in the same boat). Kinda just trial and error i guess..

There's lots of space between the wheel and caliper w/ stock calipers, but I don't know if it's enough or not. You can certainly run a 235 as I run 245-45s on my 17x8 FNO1RCs.

I use a set of those wheels (in that exact size) for my track wheels and have test fit that wheel on my brake kit before.

I'd be worried about them clearing Jeff's kit, but I know they'll clear my kit. the Cobra rotors have about 3/8" less offset than the '04 Maxima rotors, so the caliper will need an additional 3/8" spoke clearance over what will fit my brake kits.... and IIRC, there was about 1/8" between the caliper and wheel on my setup..

As for tires, you can run anything from a 225/45 to a 255/45 and they'll be fine.
I've run them with 235/40, 235/45, 245/45, and 245/35... have 245/35 on them currently. they were a PITA to get mounted because of the short sidewall, but they fit on there.
