Guest Avalanche Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Despite all the info here telling you how to match sizes or whatever. How come there is no direct link to sites that sell rims for the Z cars? Perhaps its all going over my head but I cant figure out what I need to know to buy rims for a 82 280ZX.

Matt K Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 For the people with deeper pockets who want something truly specific, this company makes custom wheels to your specifications. A tad pricey, but worth it for hard to find sizes. http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/prices.html Please feel free to add other similar places to the list!

uccreepanddrums Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 avalance i got rims for my 1981 280zx from www.discounttiredirect.com you should check it out i believe the bolt pattern was 4X114.3 pm me if you want to see my rims (i had to get spacers also) or you can check www.zcarparts.com they have some old school looking rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bry593 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 1972 240z, Sportmax 16x8 0 offset wheels, 225/50-16 tires. Car lowered slightly. Rear tire sidewalls rub on uneven terrain and during bumpy corners. Will adjust ride height up and add rear sway bar to stiffen. If that doesn't do it, will move rear springs to front and use stiffer in rear. UPDATE 051107 Ride height adjusted up .6". New trim height is 26.1" measured from ground to fender lip at wheel centerline. Added Suspension Techniques rear sway bar (nicely engineered btw) Rear springs are 170 lb/in Verdict - Still rubs on extreme bumps. Will move rear springs to front and use 200 lb/in in back. Notes: *Taiwan origin, but what isn't these days.... *Finish is not great, but acceptable for the price *Wheel caps don't fit 240Z dust covers (do they make extended caps?) *Lightweight wheel and tire only 44 lbs (wheel is 16 lbs) - my old nissan 14x5.5 with 195/70-14 is 43 lbs *Rear fender interference may not be an issue on stock height Z, but likely on lowered cars *Rolling rear fender lip will not eliminate tire contact, but will minimize tire gouging *Braking pressure increased, although wheel and tire lightweight, mass concentrated farther out on diameter nice aggressive stance, totally changes the look of the car the wheels and tires are nearly flush with outer edge of fenders this is the problem area... clearance on rear coilover is 3/4", +12 offset would be ideal.... no spoiler interference no interference between front tire and fender lip clearance on front coilover is more than 3/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveosupremeo Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 will those 16x8 sportmax wheels fit with stock spring perches with tokico springs on a 77? thanks, very curious but don't have to money to buy them on chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 77 280 Z Christopher Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I am putting the entire YZ kit on but will be using it strickly as a daily driver. Without modifying the suspension just yet, other than 5 lug hubs, what backspacing, size, and offset should I be looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
