Midnight-280Z Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 my car is a 1975 280Z with tokiko springs and shocks. i have finally saved up enough to buy some rims. will 16X8 with a +04 offset fit?? or do i need spacers? also how big of spacers? PLEASE HELP BEFORE I SPEND MY MONEY ON SOMETHING STUPID. i have used this offset calculator but don't know what it all means http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html . I hear 0 is the way to go but can't find any rims affordable with a 0. 16X8 in a +04 offset is the closest i can find for the size i want. thanks for all the help.

100 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 +04 should fit with no spacers but the tire will be very close to springs/shock. Check this thread out. 16x8 +10 which means it is 6mm closer to the spring/shock then your 16x8 +4 wheels. They said it cleared with 5mm spacers. So that 16x8 +10 wheel with 5mm spacers makes it a 16x8 +5. Your 16x8 +4 should clear. http://forums.hybridz.org/showpost.php?p=659290&postcount=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderllama Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Are you sure you mean +04 and not +40? Because that would make a huge difference for one little typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 thanks. will be buying my rims today. Only problem now is that they have to special order them. but i will be putting a deposit today. I AM SURE IT IS 04 AND NOT 40 I know 40 would fit on FF cars but not on ours.

pete280z Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That's my car in the thread linked above. +04 will be very close, but should clear the stock spring perch. I don't think that backspacing can be precisely calculated from offset, so you might wind up with a very tight fit or have to run small spacers. Please post again to update when you get the wheels. I'm thinking of picking up a set so I have one for street and one for track days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I am looking at some Rota RB's in 15x7's with +04 offset for the front and 15x8's with +04 offset for the rear. Same should apply, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 That's assuming they fit. I'm interested to hear, perhaps he will post an update with tire sizes and maybe even pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
