rudypoochris Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yasin that looks AWESOME! By far the best 280zx I have ever seen. Really liking the wheels on that, what color did you end up going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks Chris...I went with the Hyper Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TRD 83 SupraDrifter Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Careful on fitting these wheels on a ZX....they work but require care on a lowered car. Yasin Yasin, Let me start by saying your 280 is amazing! I looked for a few minutes but I couldn't find the wheel size you went with. Also does anyone have a shot of the hyper black and graphite gray side by side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I got mine from Kim yesterday. Fast professional service. I'm going staggered. 17x8.5+4 front and 17x9.5-19 rear. Gunmetal with machined lip. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What made you choose 8.5" instead of 9" in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Good choice Pete - that's what I went with, although my choice was dictated by having front and rear flares that are staggered, and the fit is perfect. Post some pics when you get them on. Are these going on a non-flared car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yea I decided on the 8.5+4 in the front for these reasons: - 245 width tire fits nice on an 8.5" rim. - The back space is 4.9", which is perfect with coil overs, and tucks the wheel in nicely so that a huge flare is not needed in front. - It emphasizes the staggered look, which I like. Yes, I will be flaring the fenders. Not sure which flares yet. I have molds for the BSR 280Z front enders, I might use those. The rear is up in the air. I'm not much into the ZG bolt on look, so they will be molded in somehow. I have a contact for the guy that made the molds originally for BSR, so I may try and get the rear fender molds. I also have the front and rear spoiler molds, so I might use those also. This is what they look like: I'll run longer studs and use spacers to fill the fenders correctly if needed.

rudypoochris Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 how about rear I do not remember off hand. If you search back there are photos and probably the measurement was back there somewhere. If I had to guess I would say the 17x9.5 stuck out about 2"-2.5" in the rear.

RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Anyone have a pics of a lowered 240/260/280z with the 9.5 in the rear RBR. I want to change the rear of my car to 9.5 but they are already so close to my flares with my current setup and with my calculations its going to come outward another .5"...... Also, is there anywhere I can even purchase just two rear 9.5" rims(9" if I have to) or am I going to have to buy a set or are these not even available anymore. I've been stressing over this crap for a couple days I just want to either get it or get over it. lol Here is my current setup.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i have heard, if you stick with in the 245/40 tires size you should be fine with any rubbage and you can go up to 255 but you will here a little rubbing on the VG flairs. also depends on how low and soft your suspension is. you can probably get the best view of fitment on Myron's car on his thread here. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=135728 your car looks dangerous(badass) by the way. where in CA. are you?
