briann510 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 yes we will most likely be buying custom wheels, altho Jason wants to go black, so they arent real expensive. found quite a few for under $100 a piece in the 4 bolt pattern all the way up to 14" wide. i think your wheels are 4 bolt or did you go to 5 bolt?

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 You'll should check out Jay Hitchcock's car. He's running 18X11.5 (305/30-18) in the front and 18X12.5 (335/30-18) in the rear: http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12636 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I was hoping that someone on here with the YZ rear could measure from the inner body to the inside of the flare, the overall width that will fit in there. I'm at 13.25" and need atleast 15" fender to body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifton Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah. I have some older 11.5" FA rears that have a 12" tread and are about 13" wide overall that would work but I just got another set of new take off Yoko FA's that have a 13" tread and are almost 15" wide. I can make the 11.5's work with my current flare but they are on the hard side and the Yokohama's are like new and can get more if I need. I can also get some NOS (few years old) Goodyears cheap but they are 12.5 and need more flare too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah, I looked at those rear Yokohamas way back when and was thinking no way in hell is that going to happen. That's a 350mm wide rear tire!!! You might squeeze it in with the YZ flares though. I was just curious if you felt you needed 15" for the FA rear. I was hoping to squeeze the FA rear under a 3" flare. I think that's what you have currently on the white car, so it sounds like you've already done what I am planning on...

Clifton Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I don't need the 15" (13"ish tread) but I do need something alot wider than the 9.5" FA front that's on there now. Even with my boost all the way down (18 psi) it is spin city and that's with the E070 (really soft) Goodyears. The 11.5 would work but I can get the yoko's for free or 12.5", 2 year old new Goodyears for less than I was paying for used tires. I think the flares I have on now are 3". If you are planning on running them, you'll have to move the strut in a little to get the tire closer to the body. I was going to shorten the LCA's or go with azc and shorten the halfshaft an inch. I'll send you some pics as I do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tube80z Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah. I have some older 11.5" FA rears that have a 12" tread and are about 13" wide overall that would work but I just got another set of new take off Yoko FA's that have a 13" tread and are almost 15" wide.

I can also get some NOS (few years old) Goodyears cheap but they are 12.5 and need more flare too. Yokos are slower than the GY radials, even though the GYs are narrower. But if you have access to a bunch that are cheap why not use them. You probably already know this but you need to run stiff springs to really make those tires work. And the setup is going to be different between the GYs and the Yokos since the tire stiffness is different. And to make the rears work you will need to think about droop limiting or you will see high inside tire temps that look like too much camber. It's caused by inside tire roll when you put the power down. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifton Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I went over to John Washington's place (Reaction Research) and held up one of his YZ flares on a S30 he had and measured it. I didn't have a camera with me but it was exactly 15" from the inner body to the inside opening of the flare. My stock fendered 240 is around 11" from body to fender opening and I fit a 275mm with a 17x9 wheel. The pic below is my flared Z (not YZ flares) but is just to show were I measured at. Hopefully this will help someone later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
