luseboy Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Finally a real working setup! Tada! Definitely going this route. *snip* That looks really good, any idea what size spacers they're running? I want these wheels but i'm flared and I don't want to run massive spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanawhite Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I want to run these with flares too. But i'm not sure what spacers he's using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Even more than the spacer size, I'm more interested in the size of tires he's using. They have just a little bit of stretch, but nothing too radical or stupid looking--great tuck. Did ya get the dirt on the tire size by chance?

pr20de Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Any info on this cars setup? The silver one with the 526's without flares. Edited October 27, 2012 by pr20de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastermind Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Just saw this topic today thanks to Santanawhite finding me on facebook. When I get home I'll check all the specs and post. I can't remember off the top of my head because I built this setup right when the 526's came out. It must have been a couple years ago. -Owner of the silver 73 240z Edited January 10, 2013 by Mastermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Finally a real working setup! Tada! Definitely going this route. 1973 240Z, family owned since 1974. Original silver paint. 83,xxx miles. It sat for years with a blown head gasket in my fathers possession. Stance: Cosmo Racing adjustable springs with KYB struts (front) XXR 526 17x9 +35mm offset with 1" spacer Tire 215/40/17 (rear) XXR 526 17x10 +20mm offset 1/4" spacer Tire 235/40/17 For the rear I had to roll the fenders and find longer wheel studs. I did everything from mounting and balancing the tires to installing the suspension with new Energy bushings so feel free to ask questions.

RebekahsZ Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Dude, if that's you sitting in the car, you got nice legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanawhite Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Lol. That's awesome. I want to run these wheels with flares on mine. They didn't look like 10â€s on the rear. I guess spacer it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I was going to try and run a 17x12 with ZG flares but I decided against it. I didn't want to cut up a good car that is four decades old. My ZG's are just sitting in the garage for now. Those are my girl's legs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi mastermind, are you using coil overs? Also are the spacers used for keeping the rim from hitting the coil spring or for pushing the rim out to the edge of the fender for a better look? Thank you for the information.

kevinz Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I know this is an old thread. Does anyone know if mastermind had any issues with rubbing or bottoming out. I know he said he had to roll the rear lip but that's all that was said. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
