Mike Mileski Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I just installed a set of Enkei PF01 wheels on my '71 240 this past weekend. 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears. It is an awesome looking wheel. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Mike, Got any pics where we can actually see said wheel? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Here's a shot of just the wheel from Enkei's site. I'll take a couple of side shots of mine later and post them. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Looks too much like an American Racing wheel for my tastes. I much prefer the RPF1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 +1 for the rpf1, but those are still pretty sweet wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 They actually make it in a low enough offset to fit older Z's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have Modern Motorsports 5 lug aluminum front hubs and a Techno Toy Tuning set up on the rear so mine isn't stock. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I originally wanted the RPF1s but, after talking to the factory, I found out that there wasn't enough clearance between the spokes and my rear calipers. My rear calipers stick out a full inch farther than the wheel face. The PF01s are made with extra clearance for big calipers. Now I'm glad it worked out that way. Here's a side view of the right rear. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Very nice wheels, I like them better than my RPF1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonat240 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I believe this is the Arizona Zcar setup but is this the 13'' rotors or the 12.2'' in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's a custom setup, not from AZ Z Car, but the rotors are the 12.2" diameter Wilwoods. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistah mofro Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) In other words, not rotas/xxrs/etc lol. Btw how much does each wheel weigh? Edited October 22, 2011 by mistah mofro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 The 17x8 fronts weigh about 17 lbs. and the 17x9 rears are about 18 lbs. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonat240 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) What offset did you need to get that fit with your brakes setup? And did you need 8'' springs in the back to clear those wide tires? Edited November 2, 2011 by turbonat240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I did use 8" springs but 10" would have worked too. The closest point between the tire and strut is at the lower spring seat ring. My 9" rear wheels have a 48mm offset. I needed a 35mm offset for the front but they only made a 45mm in the bolt circle I needed so I used that wheel with a 10mm spacer. Front and rear fit perfect with no rubbing at all. I even think that a 275/40 would fit on the rear but the 265s are just fine. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in the height too. Those wheels look great. I have been considering doing this very thing but was planning on rpf1's. May change my mind now. I'm looking for how wide a tire can be put under stock fenders. Thanks, logr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 245/40x17 front 265/40x17 rear I'm using Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
