The ZX came with +12 offset 15x6" rims. You can do the math to see how your Enkeis compare.

Ok so with the help of my friend I was able to get the suspension compressed and these numbers. The rear will require a spacer of 3.175 which was 2 washers on each stud that measured out to 1/8. Still pretty close to the rear control arm but not touching anymore and the space between the wheel and control arm was about the thickness of one of the lug washers I used. Not sure if the rear will require longer studs since its not a huge spacer but I'm open to suggestions.
The fronts will require a spacer the size of 12.7 mm to work and longer studs. The front fender will require a little more of an aggressive roll than what I have now. But yeah I believe i can make it work. Also if any one has a heads up on where I can buy these parts that would be great.

Thanks
Vince

1/8" spacer is an ebay item for <$20/pair and may not need to be hub-centric depending on the height of the rear hub register.
The 1/2" spacer will require longer studs and will need to be hub-centric, so make sure to measure the register on the hub, and find out the center bore of the wheels (probably on the sticker) before you order them. You may have to have a custom set made, and it'll get tricky if the hub register is larger then the wheel c.b. For a custom spacer send a P.M. to Mattndew76.

Thank you S15DET just the type of answer I was looking for.

510 rear has no register for hub-centric. Fronts vary somewhat, but have only the slimmest of registers, as shown in your picture on page 1. But slim is better than none.

Please do post pictures once you've got them mounted!!

So do to the rear being so slim do you think I would need to add longer studs like the front?

Lots of variables, even how thick your new wheel mounting flange is compared to old. You're going to have to see when you get the right parts together.

And rear has zero register, front's only slim.

There is a register on the hub, but I believe you are saying that it's all used up by the drum? I chucked my hubs in a lathe and turned the register to what I need for my set-up, sorry. The front register is thin, that's why you'll need a hub-centric adapter for sure.

Some will argue that it's not necessary to run hub-centric wheels, that once the two faces are clamped, it's the frictional forces that counter the vertical load, not the hub register OR the lugs, but we won't get into that (although technically it may be true). As a mounting aid is reason enough for me.

Yes, or the disc if you convert. Rear disc is definitely using the register to center the disc, but there isn't anything left over for a spacer or wheel to locate off of.

Install the rear rim desired with the required spacer and count how many 360* turns of lug nut thread engagement you have. I would not run something with less than 7 turns of thread engagement.

Let us know if it'll work out for you.

Will do thank you. Still trying to locate the 1/2 inch hub centric spacers for the front. Once I get those I will order the rear set. But first I have bigger fish to fry. I am swapping out my cross member and rear end for my new set up which includes CV axle upgrade and LSD.
