slownrusty Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hi Gang, These are 17"x7" Tenzo wheels with a +42mm offset but with the right 4x114.3 bolt hole spacing. Ross Corrigan from Modern Motorsports provided the hub adapters to bring the wheels back down to a zero offset. For rubber I am running: 215/45 Front - Yokohama Parada 235/40 Rear - Yokohama Parada The spokes on wheels are gunmetal are offset the white on the car - so in this regards I think looks pretty tight. The polished lip is 3" wide. The wheels are 18lbs each which is pretty good for a 17" wheel and the hub adapters with the 8lug nuts per corner add another 2lbs. So figure 20lbs for each corner without the tire. I spent the entre afternoon re-arranging and testing my rear coilovers and the car drives and handles superbly - before it was very harsh and a bit "darty". Enjoy! This was the car before coilovers - when I bought it a few years ago, bone stock and high like a Jeep!: After the coilovers: With the new boots, taken in Colorado at the foothills of the Rockies: Regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j260z Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 nice clean lines!! looks really good with the 17's and lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Those 17's with it lowered (coilovers)really look nice. I'm partial since your paint job and decals are the same as my car . I bought the centerline's 17's went 225 front and rear Falken Azenis Sport. Really love the feel and ride. I did shade tree technique of lowereing by cutting 3/4 of a coil off front and back. Lowered about 5/8" need more thou. By the way someday I plan on repainting her. Since she is white I've used Wal-mart white spraypaint for touch up a little to much . Do you know where we could get the replacement turbo decal we have on our cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Thanks for the compliments guys - much appreciated! Len - The turbo decals can be done by any reputable graphic vinyl shop. It will cost a bit - but worth it if you want to keep that look. I actually painted the rear portion of mine as a big section was missing when I first bought the car and I made a template just using simple masking tape. It was a very long tedious process - so you have to be very patient. Hope that helps - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Thanks Yasin. Sooooooo many things need to get done before that point. Just hoping somewhere they sell them premade. I guess if you own a Z we are never that lucky! Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 The car perfect stance with the coil-overs! Just beautiful IMO. The wheels are extremely nice looking and bring the whole thing together. Gun metal was an excellent choice BTW Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
