New Sportmax 501 wheels

[lorenzo]

I really like the look of these wheels and they are now available in 16x8 which is an added bonus, the only problem is the offset, they are positive 15. Anyone know what would be the smallest spacer I would need to slap these onto a 1976 S30 and not cause any issues? Also who would be a realiable source for the spacers interms of quality and price? I am thinking of going 225/50/16 in the front and 245/50/16 in the rear (which would give me an extra inch of height compared to the front). Thanks

Your link isn't working. Do you mean this set? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/16-x-8-0-Sportmax-501-Wheels-xb-240sx-s13-ae86-corolla_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43956QQhashZitem130079525053QQihZ003QQitemZ130079525053QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

 

The +15 will probably fit on the rear of a 280z without a spacer. On the front you're probably going to need between 10mm and 15mm to clear the spring perch.

 

I couldn't find a source for quality spacers so I bought some from Pep Boys and opened up the center a little bit to fit the front.

Yes those are the ones, thanks Pete, can not see why my link would not work but yours does so I will just leave it alone.
