24OZ Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 A guy in my area can do me a deal on these wheels: They are 15x 10" at the rear and 15 x 7" at the front the inner wheel clearance is 352mm, the front have negative offset 1.5mm the rear have negative offset of 38.5mm The are Z bolt pattern and I am considering them for my 280ZX. How much wider would I have to modify the rear arches? Can I run them without coilovers? I am worried that it might not look good having such wide tires at the rear so I'd appreciate your comments. If anyone has any pics of a similar set up so i can see how wide it looks, it would be appreciated also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If they don't fit your application, please let me know. I might buy them. I have an Alpha 1 and my wheels are completely wrong for the new fender widths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24OZ Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 No problem Mike. Anyone else? What is the minimum tire I would need any issues with handling with wider wheels and tires? Thanks folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 81na ZX Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Min is a 255 or so. Atleast in BFG, other companies have other size reqs, but 255 is the smallest I'd go. You might have a small handling problem that can be easily corrected. IIRC more rear tire = oversteer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
