Hi Clifton!

My name is Jayson, and I've been working on a 1977 280Z for a while now. I noticed on the "Wheel Show!" thread that you had the exact wheels I was eyeing, and I wanted to know if you had done anything to fit the 17" x 9" wheels in the stock wells. I currently have the complete set of Arizona Z car suspension parts front and back (including coilovers), along with the 5-lug disc brake conversion and big slotted 13" front rotor with 4-pots on all wheels. Dave at Arizona Z Car said the 5-lug conversion adds .5" space to the front and .75" to the back.

I want to put the 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 wheels with +35 offset at all 4 corners , on 245 or 255 tires. Do you think this setup could work with the 280? Will I need to roll the fenders? I'm going to keep the stock fender width (i.e. not put in ZG flares or wide-body kits).

Thanks for ANY advice you could give me! Your car is incredible btw.. I LOVE the grey super-sleeper idea. Got myself a 7M supra turbo in the garage too
