Aftermarket Wheel Size---Please help!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

    I have located several topics regarding maximum wheel size on my S30. Unfortunately, the information is all over the place and hard to decipher. I own a 1976 280z with stock brakes, Tokico lowering springs with Tokico HP shocks. Additionally, I order the ZG style 3" rear 2" front fender flares that I plan to install. I am currently interested in either 16" or 15" wheels and am trying to obtain as large of a rear tire as possible with a staggered front wheel/tire size. I am not trying to push the limits with size to an uncomfortable level and realize that their are some manufacturing tolerance differences between cars. Does anyone know approximately how wide a wheel, offset, ect and tire combo that I can use with this set up without running into issues? Thanks for any information!

Your descriptions are far too generic. I've run a 245/50 on 16x8 +10 wheels with similar shocks and struts as you without flares.  If you are going flares but not coil overs, you can run a wider tire/wheel combo but you will need the right offset.  There is just not enough information to guide you in the right direction.   The picture below is on 245/45s with the same 16x8 wheels.
