BluDestiny Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 TRsome what suspension are your running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRsome Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just lowering springs. I'm clearing the struts fine with 4.5 inches of backspacing. Need to swap coilovers to close the gap on the front fenders though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8pipez Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 XXR 527's. 16x8.25 with 215/50-16. Eibach and Tokico. Got bumpers and new exhaust on the way. Bad cell pic, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanatc97 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) What's the offset and backspace of those wheels str8pipez? I tried to measure to see if the XXR 530s with 0 offset would fit my 280 with the stock suspension and 205 to 215 tires. Still not sure.

str8pipez Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The offset is 0, and the backspace is 4.5". No rub or fitment issues what so ever. TONS of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger280zx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Nice ride Rebekah, those Rotas make such a good fitment. Not too big, still pretty good street tire selection... jealous, I'm on 15's looking for some 17's and not excited about the look But all in the name of street tires.

xShodaimex Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 16x8.25, 0 offset, no spacers What rims are these? They look very nice btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmanatc97 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) So do you think I could run 225/50-16 on all four corners without any problems with the stock 78 280z suspension? I plan on running the XXR 530 16x8.25 0 offset and going to cut my stock spring to lower the car about an inch or slightly more.

BluDestiny Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What rims are these? They look very nice btw! Those look like the XXR 527's like st8tpipez is running, just in silver. XXR is one of the few wheel companies that have .25-.75 inch increments Gmanatc yes you can get away with it, unless you cut your springs a godawful amount and rub on bumps. Just buy some lowering springs, They're like a couple hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the effect of cut springs, but concerning the first part of your question.. "225/50/16 on all four.. stock suspension...". You could almost say "Everybody's doing it".

gmanatc97 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Cutting the springs is kind of a half thought at this point. If I can put the 225s on, then I am going to go that route and see how it looks like for now. Then down the road I will lower it. I don't plan on slamming it down, just get a little more aggressive stance (1"-1 1/2"). Thanks for the info on the fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock height: Eibach springs (approx 1" lower) Stock: Lower The springs have settled approximately another 1/2" since I took the above pictures.
