JustinOlson Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'm buying all of the parts to swap over to 5 lug. I am purchasing a set of MB weapon 17X9 wheels front and rear. They are offered in 17mm and 27mm. I think 27 will fit best up front. Will they clear without spacers in the front? I will be doing ZG flares. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelByBrandDetail.do;jsessionid=FBJFDV4Sb92L1c1T2y6DhW58Ym2wx918fsvzJCrgwLD4yxYQ84kT!-421345007!NONE?rc=ORPINT&wd=17&pc=53638&typ=&rcc=null&rw=9&bp=5-114.3 Front: 300zx hubs 300zx rotors ARP wheel studs toyota 4X4 calipers Coil overs with 8" springs New brake lines Rear: Drill Stub Axel for 5 lug 300zx rear rotors 5 lug ARP wheel studs 85-88 FWD Maxima Rear Caliper Flat Bracket- modified for S30 hub. 85-88 Maxima Calipers (similar to 240SX calipers) Coil overs with 8" springs Spacer?(What thickness will I need with 27mm offset?)

veritech-z Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Justin, you might have some clearance issues with the +27. The 300zx hub conversion spaces the hub out 3/4" from what I've heard, and 27mm equals around 1", so that wheel is going to fit like a +7 offset wheel. A 9" wide wheel with +27 on that hub would have a corrected backspace of around 5.25" or so, so depending on how much clearance you gain with the coilovers? I haven't heard what those numbers are, I know maximum backspace is close to 4.5" on a standard strut housing and hub. I have no idea if it will work in the back, I've only measured on the front. Hope that's helpful? Those wheels look good by the way, nice choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 the rear, in a 9" wide wheel needs to be -12 if I remember those watanabe & ZG threads correctly. so you would need the et17 with a 29mm spacer.... I know all this info has been discussed before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
