franky240z Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) 14x8" plenty of sticky rubber that'll fit that size. Any larger than 16" just doesn't look right(IMO). Edited January 25, 2015 by franky240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I sure thought by now anti-matter would be discovered and we would be riding around on hovercraft. Go 18s. But, the only wheel I have found with our bolt pattern is a Rota Grid. Looks good on a 240sx, but a little wonkie on a 240z. If you don't think an 18 looks good on a Z, you haven't seen Mikelly's car. Looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If Rota would make an 18" RBR I would be the first to buy a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Due to the rules set forth by the vintage race groups (SVRA, VRG, etc.), 15 inch tires are available from many tire companies. I am required to run a non-slick so I opt to use Toyo RA-1s (the 888s are not worth the money and are like running on ice skates). The RAs are good out of the package and get better with time, until they aren't. Good in the rain as well. Of course if a 15-inch wheel won't fit over your brake caliper, it's 16s which I run on the street Z (245/45/16 on 16X8 BBS rims). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have to agree with Kenny- if you believe someone that says they know what the tire market will be in 10 years as far as sizes -well good luck to you. Your question is almost ridiculous so the answer you got was spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There are PLENTY of 18" wheels out there to chose from. You just have to be willing to pay the price for them ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eztexclub13 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm with Franky on this one. 16 is the sweet spot for the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
