ZD44TT Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi guys, just a quick one - does anyone know if there is any difference in the offset of the 240z hubs vs the 280z hubs? pictured. Thanks, William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 the 240z dn h80z have the same offset for thw weheel they have different thickness which makes the rotors offset different, the z31 hubs have more positive offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 And the more positive offset is on the order of ~ 3/4" for the Z31 hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Monster Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 does this mean that i can install z31 hubs into my hgs130 (280zx) and run a more positive offset rim??? that also means running less spacers then i have now. will the z31 hub bolt right on??

Using the Z31 hubs on a S130 strut will result in the brake rotor being in a different position (the rotor offset is different). I also recall that the Z31 inner wheel bearing seal won't fit.

blueovalz Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 A different string about brakes indicated that the Z31 hub pushes the wheel and brake assembly outward by ~3/4". That said, IF you are using spacers to gain wheel-to-caliper clearance, this hub would not eliminate that spacer. If you are using the spacer to push your wheel outward without regard to any other part, then this hub should allow you to reduced the size of that spacer by this difference, but the spacing of your caliper will no longer line up with the rotor.

Z-Monster Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 ok guys, i got the answers i needed to make up my mind. i will stick to my ori hubs and find the right offset rims. no reason doing more mods to get suck little returns.. i need to shave off 2 1/4" of spacers from my hub to my rim!!! thank yall.
