280z"Vador" Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 shika805, your car's coming along clean. i dig the color stance. mine will look really similar. i got lazy and decided to just keep my chrome trims original. i guess to match the wheel lip and give it that classic chrome. the black on gray looks sick. 280zvador, my wheels originally had the same star centers like yours. the previous owner switched them out for the mesh design. it bolts right up since simmon's only made so many designs. if you ever come across a cheap bent up set of simmon meshie's in 15's for cheap, it worth the buy just for the center meshes. interchangeable!!! Great! Thanks for the tips! But I will need a set of 16" simmons meshes not 15" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks Drax for the wheels! Simmons wheels 16x9 front 16x10 rear DAMN! Look way better on your car than they did in my shop. Really glad to see them used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8zzman Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I thought I would share a few pics of my wheels on this thread. They are Rota RB-R 17x8.5 with +4 offset in Royal Hyper Black. What size tires, and is that with stock suspension with the 8.5 rims width? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8zzman Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Rota RB-R's Went with the royal bronze.. I still need suspension REALLY bad, but I am ordering it within the next few weeks. What size wheels are on you white z? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srbigbutt Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Those are 225/45's and yes they are 8.5s all around. Very tight fit in the front but no rubbing at all. Little bit of rubbing in the back when hitting bigger dips. Rolling the fenders might help. Here is a better pic once it was lowered.

Would you go the 8.5" width again, or would you stick to the 7.5" if you were buying them again? I do not really won't to roll my fenders?

crazyoctopus Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 hahahahhah, amazing that you do it right after we complain about it. and v8, roll your fenders. more tyre on the ground = more traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srbigbutt Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I would go 8.5 again. At first I wanted to get a better staggered fitment. Maybe a tad bit more offset. Maybe 7.5 in the front with 8.5 in the rear with +5 or 6 offset with a good staggered lip look. But its was just not available unless you go with flares. But i'm definately happy with what I got.

240hoke Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) I had to join the club.... I really like the wheels, I am happy with the finish, quality, and fit. They aren't as vintage looking as my Wat's were but the sticky 245/275 Azenis RT-615's are worth it. I was disappointed about the center caps not fitting...and without them the car just doesnt look finished. I plan on making a set out of plastic or aluminum, with Z emblems. I dont know how long this will take me though...my current project rate is incredibly slow. There is more then enough room for 275's with standard ZG's. In fact next time I need tires Ill probably try to find a 295. I am also using Blox Extended aluminum lug's, which are decent for the money but not as nice as the KICS R26's I was running before.

Nelsonian Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 "I was dissapointed about the center caps not fitting...and without them the care just doing look finished. I plan on making a set out of plastic or aluminum, with Z emblems. I dont know how long this will take me though...my current project rate is incredibly slow". I for one would love a set of proper caps as well if you come up with a good design and care to make some more. I bet there are others here that would jump on a set if offered, hint, hint....
