I'm not positive but I think that all 300Z's had 5 bolt wheels. The earlier 
240/260/280Z had 4 x 4.5 inch bolt pattern. Most Saab's from that time period 
also used the 4 x 4.5 inch bolt pattern. Also the early Toyota Celica and 
Supra. Even the Mazda Rx7 but only on the 1985 GSL/SE. That was a fairly common 
14 inch bolt pattern in the 70's and early 80's. I don't think that bolt 
pattern was used much on front wheel drive cars, so the offset's were pretty 
good. Anyone who wanted to upgrade their cars at that time used 15 inch wheels 
on that bolt pattern.  Now it's a bit harder to find.
