Z-TARD Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I'm using the 10.5" cobra wheels on mine. With a 1.5" spacer, they clear the spring perch by about 1/2" on the inside, and stick out of the body by about 1.5". You might be able to tuck the 9" rims entirely under the fender lip with some 245 or 255 tires. It's possible you could use a 1.25" spacer instead of the 1.5" to gain some more clearance on the fender lip. If you already have the wheels, you can determine which spacer to use by just setting the wheel inside the wheel well and measuring the distance between the back of the wheel and the stub axle flange/brake rotor. Obviously it's not quite that simple, you'll have to make sure the angles all line up so you can get a true measurement between the two surfaces. Harbor freight sells some magnetic base angle indicators that work pretty well for that. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=34214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Howdy Z-tard, Do you have any photos of your wheels on your z? Thinking about importing some and want to know all the ins and outs. Wont be running coil overs with mine. Cheers, Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
