neverenough Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm looking for wheels for my 72 240 project. I am going to use all Arizona z suspension including coilovers 5-lug brake kit and the lower control arms and rear a-arms. I want to run 18x8 +20 fronts with 235-40-18 and 18x9 +40 rears with 265-35-18 . I need to know if the offset will clear. I have rolled the fender lips but no flares.

2003z Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 you might want to ask Dave at AZC, he should know if noone else here can answer it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vashonz Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The AZC front hubs move the wheel out a little from stock, You can effectively use a higher offset wheel. I will be running 16x8 +38 in front and 16x8.5 +20 in the rear. I may need to run a 3-2mm front spacer. In the rear it just barely clears the strut. I will probably run a 5mm spacer to give a little extra room. In a nutshell (look at me, I'm in a nutshell!) the fronts should fit just fine, the rears will need spacers.

So you think a +35 would be a better offset for the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vashonz Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 For a 16x8.5 +30-35 with coilovers SHOULD fit. Once you put the 9" wheel on there everything is different. I am running a 245 45 r 16 right now (still in the mockup phase). I'll try to get some photos up sometime this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
