brianZortiz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 socorob, thanks. I've read good reviews of Muteki lug nuts, I'm on the search for some that can delay the process of a thief and/or give up on stealing my investment.

JPN_Garage Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Shakotan, really nice. What kind of lug nuts are those, who makes them? Those are NRG lightweight lug nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I got my XXR 527 in 16x8.25 +0 yesterday. It's a tight fit, but I think I can fit 225x50x16 tires into the Z with only rolling the fender lip. I also weighed one on my postage scale. 16lbs 12oz each, seems fairly light for a wheel? (no complaints) Also, the centercap they come with snaps perfectly and securely into the 280ZX snowflake wheels....an option for those with missing centercaps if you could find them!

kiwi303 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Boyd Coddington Billet alloys. 17x7 with 225/50R17 on the front and 245/17ZR17 on the rear. The reason the front is so high is because the 302 Cleveland that will be weighing it down in future is currently sitting in the shed on a few blocks waiting to be built. The tyres are bald freebies from a number of tyre shops around the nearest town, bald and non-legal, but they did fine to size up the tyre fitment and check it all works. Once it's all together and on the road once more I think I'll be going 225/45R17 on the front, a 225/45 would match wall height to a 40/245, 225/50 is a bit taller.

tyson Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 XXR 527 16x8.25 +0 offset. 225/50/16 dunlop direzzas (non r compoundl). I want to flare the car so I can run 255s all around, maybe next year. The tires have a very slight stretch, I'm not a fan of it but it's not very apparent. I also couldn't find black tuner lugs anywhere locally, so I'll be ordering a set. Also, the centercap does not fit on the front due to the hub. Drat.

tyson Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Tires actually rubbed a bit, and I had to raise it up some more. I think I'm going to rent a fender roller and give that a shot. I think the springs or shocks may be getting a bit tired as well. There is no interference with the tire while turning.

m1ghtymaxXx Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Just good post production. Probably shot with a 5D mark 3 Simple post production involving desaturating and adding contrast to the background. Also it was taken with a Nikon D5000, not that. Wheels are most certainly enlarged in Photoshop, but tech junk aside, that is a beauty of an S130. I'd love to see an un-doctored photo of it. Given the amount of editing, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not even orange in real life, but it sure looks good.

seb280z Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I got my wheels a few days ago. I ended up getting 15x8.25 0 offset, because of my budget. IMG_1534 (600x800).jpg IMG_1533 (600x800).jpg I was told on this forum by roger280zx that I could run 225/50-16s on all four corners, but whats the most you can get away with without any rub issues on a 15" rim? There is very little gap between the wheel and the shocks with the car on jack stands, so how much room will I have with the car on the ground? IMG_1510 (600x800).jpg IMG_1511 (600x800).jpg I think I can only get away with 215/60-15s on all four, am I wrong? Did you ever get these rims mounted?
