Guest NismoRPS13 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I've used the search engine and never came across a good answer so here it is. I'm looking for a set of wheels for 240Z, and I was wondering if anyone knew any stock alloy wheels that will fit the offset. I just want a set to roll around in (15" or 16") and something that won't cost me much. I was thinking S14 240SX base model alloy wheels, but I have no clue if it even fits. Any ideas? Thanks '93 Sapphire Blue 240SX fastback '97 S14 SR20DET, Zeal Function B6, Apex'i GTspec Exhaust, Blitz LM FMIC . . . etc. '73 240Z in mind . . .

auxilary Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24343 see #2. s13 had same bolt pattern as 240z, but positive offset. Z has 0 offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NismoRPS13 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 So . . is there any other people with helpful comments? Because someone didn't read the first line of my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vashonz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I think toyota wheels will fit, one of my parts cars came with a set of steel wheels that were exactly like the ones on my moms (toyota) van. They were not very wide, and kinda heavy, but you can probably find a set really cheap. I think the mk2 supra had the same bolt pattern. you might check that out too.

Deep Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 The MKII Supra, all RWD Corollas, the 4 lug 240SX's, some Mazda's and some Mitsubishi's used the 114x4 bolt pattern. Just be aware of offsets, they vary widely, though Toyota offsets are close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 RX7 (4 lug), Fox body mustang, with the same caveats as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I doubt 200SX wheels would work as the backspace is more, like the 300Z. I bought a set of 15" x 6-1/2" 300Z wheels and changed studs to Qwest and used two 1/4" Pep Boys spacers at each wheel. I had to grind one in front about 1/16" on the ID to clear the hub and drill a couple 1/8" holes in them and tap in tension pins to hold them together. In the rear an O ring fills the gap between the spacers and the axle hub. It looks like this will accomodate 215/65 up front and 235/60 in the rear, but I still need to buy tires. They came with 225/60 which fit in the rear with 1/4" clearance but are against the spring up front. By the time you add 16 studs at $2.25 and 8 spacers at $6.50 it looks like Toyota 14" wheels may be what you want. Starion and Conquest are 15"x6-1/2" with the right backspace, but rare. And don't forget a set of early Datsun Z mags. Should not be more than $100. Check the chart at the bottom of the web site below. http://kmhafer.datsun510.com/wheelFAQ.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 stock offset for 240sx is fwd style wont work. any 70-83z-x wheel slaps right up, biggest stock wheels were 15x6 turbo swastikas or the snowflakes toyota supra early year four lug wheels fit but hub too small for front. mustang 4 lug mags that are dual drilled for z lug pattern will work sometimes.

Guest NismoRPS13 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Thanks for the input. I''ll try and see if I can find some wheels out of the selection everyone provided. Phil1934 - Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 This might help in finding an unknown offset, though most are stamped on OE wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 DEEP, so if I have this right...mount surface moved toward the street side is positive offset - mounting surface dead centere of the wheel zero offset - mounting surface moved toward the car side negative offset. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
