OlderThanMe Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 search! and yes...you can run 4.5 backspace if you run a skinny tire... The diamonds have the lug holes cnc punched. I think it took about two months overall to get the wheels to me. mom'sz: those should fit nicely under the stock fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyman Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm planning on getting a set eventually, once I get some springs and struts on my 280z. I want to use them on the street, without flares, so I figure 15x7 will work, I'll measure the backspacing on my 14x7 mags and use that measurement for the new wheels to make sure they fit. Probably will end up the same size as the wheels mom'sZ is getting... Just thinking out loud, I like these wheels a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 yep. you could go 4.5 inches of backspacing easily on the rear but only on the front with like 195 or 205 width tires. I am running 225s al the way around and it cleared the front suspension by half an inch with the wider tires and more clearance in the rear with 4" backspace. I could use 5" now and 10" wide rims...anyone want to buy mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Count Grantleyish Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 15X10 w/ 5" backspace Diamonds. Only took a week or so to deliver. I called around and about the fourth tire shop I called had a balancer to balance on the lugs - they had really nice newer equipment. Thanks Cameron G'day mate, I got some question to ask, Is the 15x10 rims all round with 5" backspace? Or it's staggered set (narrower front and wider rears)? What size tyres and brand are these? And are these DOT approved tyres? How easy is it to get street radials for 15x10's? Thanks in advance. Cheers Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy85 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 They are Hoosier slicks size 22.5x9.5-15. They are not DOT approved and I've never tried to get any DOT radials on them since I run in Prepared class that allows full slicks. Yes I do run the same size all around.

jknc90 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I just ordered some wheels from them. I'll post pictures and what I think of them when they get here (around July 8th) if anybody wants. Thanks for the help Dan. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Devil Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I stretched a 205/50/15 on a 8inch wide wheel. I've only driven it around a bit(probally less than 50 miles) so I can't officially say its okay to use these wheels on the street with stretched tires. 205/50/15 gives me allot of 50-70$ decent tire options. Your also going to have to talk to diamond about cutting a 9 and a 9.5, because you will have to pay for a 10 inch wide wheel and then your going to have to pay to get it cut down to the 9 and 9.5. I'll probally be buying some 16x8s from them in the future so I have more access to decent bigger tires. I thought about running 15x9s or 10s but the cost of the getting the wheel cut and only having access to crappy minitruck tires persuaded me not to. Pusher, your wheels look Chrome.. is the finish holding up good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, DRW is very responsive and customer-oriented. I've bought a couple sets of wheels from them and never had a problem. They are an extremely well-established company in the racing industry.
