Silver Mine Motors Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 hi everyone i found a pair of rims made by sportmax and they are pretty cheap. i was wondering if they would fit on my car or not? go to this link to se the specsifications http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/?ID=2849. i was planing on getting the 18 x 9.5, but i dont know if they would fit on my car. i know i will definatley have to cut my fenders, but is that all that has to be cut? i was also planing on putting the ground controll coli over kit. if the rims are to big what would be the biggest size possible. also if anyone knows another rim company that is about the same price and size pleas give me their link. thanks for your help!

naviathan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 They have the proper bolt pattern, but the offset doesn't look right. I think you'll end up hitting the springs. Especially with a coilover setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yea they're FWD offset it seems. You want something with 0 offset if you don't want to run spacers... Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 does anyone know of a rim company that has rims about 9.5 inches wide with a different offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I know of lots, but they are all pricey. Truthfully to fit our cars it pretty much has to be custom made unless you want spacers. 2 piece or 3 piece is the best way to go, finding a one piece will be really hard, and will probably cost an arm and a leg.

DavyZ Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 You want about 5 inches of backspacing with coil-overs. You would have to use spacers for sure. Time to measure, measure, measure, and figure out what would work for you with some spacers/adapters. EDIT: I'm getting myself hopelessly confused trying to figure out offset and using spacers. This may or may not work at all. Talk to them and see if they have anything that may work for you. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Offset is actually pretty easy. If you need a 0 offset and the offset the rim has is +40 you'll need a 40mm spacer or 1.5". Spacers are bad juju on wheel bearings and stub axels. Puts more stress on everything then what it's designed for. but I don't have any experience with them on a Z. I'm sure someone else here uses them or has at some point. They may be able to chime in with any pros or cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 good point, maybe i can fit those rims after all. i dont know if im alawd to ask this but does anyone know where i can get those plastic things you put on youy fender to make them wider while still looking good. i think they are called fender flares or something like that.
