[18" Cobra Rims]

Torynich,

 

I too am trying to figure out what size wheels to fit on my 240z. I have already installed the 280 YZ and subtle Z fenders.

 

I am looking at 18x9 wheels with a low offset. Maybe +12 to +20. By my calculations that would require at least a 2" adapter.

 

What are the other specs on those Cobra wheels? What is the offset or rear backspace? What is the bolt pattern?

 

Maybe we can put our heads together and get each other's cars looking great!

[How to mount them there ZG Flares]

I have been working on mounting YZ fenders onto my 73.

 

I have cut the fenders all the way up to the top of the wheel well.

 

My question is how have others delt with the fender well "ceiling"? (I don't know what you call it) Have you welded one up out of sheet metal? glued plastic? left it unfinished?

 

Here is a link to my blog of my project:

This one shows the cut:

The YZ fender will cover all my messy work.
