CrayZ Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) What "spare" wheels are you guys using? Im curious what are common wheels that can be used for a burnouts, slicks, yada yada. Common sizes from vehicles that can be had for cheap and have worked well for you guys in the past. Edited January 28, 2013 by CrayZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3VO 3VOM Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I know people use 280zx wheels as spares. I have a 280zx inflata-spare as my literal spare wheel to save weight. Ha. I tried to fit my steelies from my 240sx but the hub opening was too small; I have alloy wheels on it now but i havent tried to put those on the z.

siteunseen Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've read where a guy uses a 2000 Altima spare in his 280's hatch so I'm guessing they have the same bolt pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 280zx turbo rims,either the snowflakes or the swastikas. They are 15x6 so they have many tire options, slicks included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Oh I have done quite a bit of searching here and there on this subject so I think I can lend a hand. I think the swastikas are 15x6.5? My set was 100$, very cheap, good offset. If you have stock rear drums, you can run Toyota Supra/Celica rims at 14x6 they are very cheap only downfall is that they don't fit the fronts. A lot of American Racing rims came in 4x4.5 with near zero offset. I believe some old mustangs also had the 4x4.5, old mustang rallye rims are usually 15x7 or 8 steelies with near zero offset. I check the local AE86 forums (usually 15 and under) and Drifting forums (usually 17 and up), it's where I find some pretty good deals, and some I kick myself for missing (2 watanabe's for 200, a set of eagles, advan oni's etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
