nikoa808 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hello, I'm almost ready to get my 71 240Z on the road after some brake/suspension and ZG flare mod. So I have a concern and hopefully someone with a similar (or exact) setup can chime in and help me out. I want to purchase a new set of wheels from Watanabe but I'm not sure if the wheels I want will clear the front caliper as well as wheels fitting within the wheel wells of ZG flares without sticking out. The specific wheel sizes I want are F: 15x9 -13 offset and R: 15x10 -25 offset. I just installed a S12W front caliper upgrade with Arizona Z Car coilover setup ( with camber plates). The front control arms are currently stock with poly bushings. The rear is stock Drum brakes with Arizona Z Car coilover setup (with camber plates) and TTT adjustable rear control arms. I will also have Marugen Shokai OEM spec ZG flares. Will this wheels sizes fit without any issues (both front and rear)? I have a feeling the rear could fit.... but for the front do I have to go narrower and possibly add a spacer to clear the calipers? Any help is much appreciated.

ib_juan_kenobi_240z Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Any luck? I'm looking at the same set up. Any problems with fitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have the 16x9 -15 rota grids on my car with toyo 4x4 calipers, I went with solid rotors. I haven't had issues with it. Running 245 50 front with 255 50 rears and zg flares. You have way better set up then I so in theory I feel it would be fine. I did use a 1/4 spacer in the rear just for the look of it to be closer to flare tho. So completely for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikoa808 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I ended up going with the Star Road Glow Star wheels. 15x9 -28 offset and 15x10 -28 offset. A-disk fronts and O-disk rears. Fitment is good with ZG flares and Toyota calipers. Fronts can be spaced out 10-15mm to flush it out more but the rear is completely filled to the edge of the flares with -3 degree camber.

auxilary Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You can grind off the cooling fins for some additional clearance : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
