tonycharger72 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 17by7 will fit easily, a 17by7 with a 0 offset (4" BS) would be about ideal, however finding a 17b7 with a 0 offset may be a bit tricky, You would probably only be able to find off the shelf rims in 6+ or 20+ offset in 17by7" or a much higher positive offset, like 35-40+ (dont know what it would be like for you in the states though, might get lucky), and if you want to keep the same rolling diameter (bout 628mm) use a 215/45-17 tyre, Some folks have even managed to squeeze 17by8" rims on there stock zeds, using a 0 offset with 4.5" BS, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binsayer Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 thanks for the info since you are from Australia do you guys ever try playing with the nissan patrol engine the 4.8 inline 6 that would be a one hell of an engine to use on a z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Largest width or diameter? 8 inch front fits the 240Z/280Z 9 inch rear. 195/70/14 is the stock tire size so 225/35/19 is only barely larger diameter. 19" wheels? Zero offset front and +10-15 offset rear. The 280ZX can fit 8.5 front and 10 inch rear inside the stock fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
