If you give me a price, there is a good chance i will grab a set. In the gunmetal/polished It seems they should fit on my '78 260Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 why 0 offset? surely you aren't running a stock suspension. That rim will stick out more than an inch on stock fenders. I know because I have 15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing or 0 offset. I bought mine to clear stock springs but I now have coilovers. and there is plenty of space.

pete280z Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 4" backspacing on an 8" rim is more like -13 offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 4.5" backspacng is 0 offset on a 15x8" wheel... Not 4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Here are my new wheels and tires. Sport Max Racing 00215x8 225/50/15 zero offset No rubbing on the front valance but a 60 series probably would. 1/4 inch or less from tire to shock perch but no rubbing. Thanks to matt300zxt for the wheel info. I was worried about the gunmetal centers but I think there is plenty of silver so it isnt too dark. I really like them. Plenty of dish/lip. Modern with a bit of old school. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Those look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Aux, those look even better in the gunmetal over the black ones I saw at your place! Sweet! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Out of curiosity what does everyone do centercap wise with the Rotas? I got the Grids but can't think of what centercaps to use. Are center caps generally understood to be universal or must it match the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 There is a set on ebay that closes out tonight and he has dropped the price on the gunmetals to 299$. There were 399$ i believe and i think the ones with the black centers still are 399$ . I would jump on it but money is a little tight right now :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Any idea what the max width tire you could use with those rims? I would like to run 235/60/15's in the rear if I bought a set like those. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 you can run 245 tires on an 8" wheel, but unfortunately the selection sucks for 15" wheels. I am planning on using 225/50/15s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRTY260Z Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I Bought A Set Of These And I'm Running 225/50/15 Front 265/50/15 Rear And They Look Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
