I have some wheels off a 1983 ZX that have a negative offset.  I
haven't put them on my car and will probably sell them.  They require
spacers and also really need long 12mm studs (thicker and longer than
the stock studs).

I believe a positive offset will push the wheel further out, whereas a
negative offset pulls them in.

I've got the wheels, spacers (may require additional spacers, though,
and the front hub hole needs to be enlarged on the spacers), front
roadster hubs with 12mm studs already installed, enough studs for the
rear and lugnuts for all four tires.  The rims have Michelin 195/50/15
wheels that still have some life left.  The clearcoat is cracking in
some places on the wheels but otherwise they are in nice shape.

If you or anyone else are interested in this package, please let me
know, otherwise "I'll put then on eBay".  I got them from Dennis
Currington but now have decided to sell them.
