Guest Anonymous Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hey Hey, Does anyone know what is the absolute biggest tire/wheel combo that can fit on a 260Z two seater without any body modifications or suspension alterations? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc6wfs Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hi Gonzo, What size rim?? 14" 15" 16" I'm running 14/60/235's and it does not rub. With 245's it probably would with out removing the lip. Welcome aboard!!!!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I ran 245/45ZR16 on custom made (16" X 8") wheels on my '75 with stock diameter springs, unmodified fenders lips, and struts. I had about a pinkie's width between the spring/tire/fender. I used an slightly different offset between the front and rear wheels, but it was only about 1/4" difference. It never rubbed.

Guest zthang43 Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I am using 245/60R15's in the back, with msa springs that have 1/2 coil removed. I rolled the fender lip up, pretty easy to do with a hammer. It rubs a little bit when I hit a hard bump, but otherwise it is fine. I have about 1/8" between the tire and the stock spring perch.

fl327 Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 if you have nice paint dont do this the baseball bat rolling trick works really well on a z, that thin sheetmetal rolls up real nice. im only running 225/60/15 on a 7"rim, and i could maybe stick a lower profile 245 in there, maybe like a 50series tire. the fronts i cant get more than a 215/60/15, but i think i need some more adjustment up there though.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 hey is it possible to fit a 17 inch rim? That would open up a whole lot more tire choices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 17's and even 18's have been put on z's before (not sure at what point coil-overs become mandatory to do so though). Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 The tires I want to eventually get for my Z are 245/45/ZR17's or maybe 255, that should be able to fit eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
