HIWAY ONE Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm a long time lurker who is trying to get his 260z on the road after a very long time. I recently bought some wheels and I seem to be having a wheel fitment issue. The car is stock. I have the Modern Motorsport wheel adapters to convert to a 4x100 bolt pattern. The adapters are 25 mm thick. The wheels I purchased are 16x7.5 40mm offset. The combination of the 40mm offset and the 25 mm spacer should result in 15 mm oddset which I have read on a couple of sites is the stock offset for that year z. I mounted one wheel on the front and the inside edge of the wheel is up against the perch where the spring sits. I'm surprised because I've read that people are running 16x8 wheels on a stock z.I could possibly get a wider spacer to push it out from the spring perch but it already appears to be outside the wheel well. Anybody have any insights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWAY ONE Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Does anyone know the minimum clearance needed between the back edge of the wheel and the spring perch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I've run them as close as 1/4" before. I never had an issue, but other wheels may flex more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
