Need help with new wheels

Just scored these wheels on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=595879657&r=0&t=0

 

They are 15 x 6 with a +35 offset. I know that the bolt pattern is correct but will I need spacers for this offset?

 

I was looking for the 15" swastika's but this is a good deal for 5 rims. If they look like crap on my 260, I'm sure I can get my money back out of them at the 240sx site. The kicker is he comes to Charlotte every week, so he is going to bring them to me icon_wink.gif Sweet!

 

Waddya think? Fit or not icon_confused.gif

Sure you'll need spacers. Z's are right around zero offset so you'll need about an inch minimum up to 1.5" spacer. Nothing that bolts on 90's cars bolts on Z's. If their were more options we'd stick with 4lugs and no spacers.(I bet 'spacer' would get a lot of hits via the search engine icon_smile.gif)

 

If you really like those I have spacers at $210/set to bolt 'em on, your 'deal' dynamics change obviously.

Ross,

 

How safe are the spacers with V8 power. Not crazy V8 power, only about 300 rwhp?

 

Are the studs on those or what?

 

Let me know.

A spacer properly made is no hazard at all. Your hazard is the same without spacers, keep your lugnuts properly torqued (proper/not overtorqued...can be as bad or worse than undertorqued) and you have NO worries IMO. I run 1.25" slipons up front on ARP 1/2" studs and out back I run 1.5" bolt on adaptors with OEM Nissan studs.

 

All 3 local V8 z's doing track stuff use spacers and they've been common on porsches for years (H&R got started doing that marquee I believe). You'll find 2.25"+ bolt on spacers for porsches.....they do have a larger bolt pattern and thicker studs but we're not doing Lemans in 930's either icon_smile.gif

 

I'm slowly planning a new rear brake setup for my own ride and will be going with 7/16's studs....what drill size for .580 knurl ARP's? 9/16's seemed most appropriate at 0.5625 for the .580 knurl on the ARPs (37/64's is .578 so too large....~10 thou or more pressfit generally correct?).
