stony Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anyone have a set of 15X12 Watanabe's ( or anything besides your typical drag wheels) that are 5 lug that could tell me what the backspacing is. I need something with 4.5 inch backspacing and the standard 5 on 4.5 nissan pattern. I'm considering wheels for the red car once its done and i want to maintain the old school look with over fenders and all but with much larger drag radials on the rear.

Clifton Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 These are drag wheels I guess but they look pretty modern. CCW has a similar wheel to it but more $$. Sorry if it's way off from what you're looking for. http://www.jegs.com/i/Billet+Specialties/135/RS035126545N/10002/-1 Fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney, Not sure if your into knoffs or have seen these before but if your looking for Watanabe lookalikes in 15"x12 check out American racings Silverstone custom offset option (401-custom). http://www.americanracing.com/browse_vintage.asp It appears that you can specify the bolt pattern and back spacing amoung other things on a custom order form. I suppose they then give you a price. Im going back and forth between this optiion for the old school look vs. the 17" Rota rbr option.

veritech-z Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Anyone have a set of 15X12 Watanabe's ( or anything besides your typical drag wheels) that are 5 lug that could tell me what the backspacing is. I need something with 4.5 inch backspacing and the standard 5 on 4.5 nissan pattern. The backspacing you need is 4.5", so I assume what you're really trying to find out is the offset for a 12" wide wheel with 4.5" of backspace. The centerpoint for a 12" wheel would be at 6.5", so you need to move this 2" towards the hub (in other words negative offset...out towards the wheel face would be positive offset). Offset is typically given in mm, so that means for a 12" wide wheel with 4.5" of backspace, you need a -51 offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I might be changing out my wheels to these....... 18x10 rear 295/35/18 18x9 front 275/35/18 I just borrowed these off of my brothers mustang for a test fitting and I know the tires were on the wrong side. If i use these wheels I would definitely need zg flares and either a larger spacer in the rear or coilovers. more pics..... http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z15/onebadass280z/black%20wheels/ Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmanout84 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I know Ive already posted tons of pics but Ill add one any way These are my Konig Rewinds 15x7 If these are Konig rewinds... why is there a Watanabe logo on the center caps? If there ARE rewinds, I'd be interested in seeing more of your specs (offset, etc) cause I'm looking to get a set of wheels to fill out some ZG flares. If they're Wats.... well then I guess that's just out of my price range... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
