Slammed68 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I just seen that Rota had a 4x114.3 lug pattern on their website for the P45 series wheels.. problem is, how the heck am I gonna run them with ZG flares, without insane wheel spacers.. But hey, Im a noob with Datsuns/Cars.. so here we go. Fronts are 18x8.5 with a +25 offset.. with ZG flares, how massive of a number of wheel spacers am I going to need to run them flush.. Rears are 18x9.5 with a +30 offset.. again, with ZG flares.. how stupid is the amount of spacer I am going to need to run these flush.. Right now on this subject, I am about = to Also, what size of tire could I run with these wheels along with the GC coilover kit.. Again, thanks all for answering the probably most asked question.. ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You will need very very large spacer - I would look a different rims as you would be looking at a 30mm spacer for the front and a 50mm for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm running the same size rims without ZG flares. You can easily run 275's on the back and 245's on the front...maybe even a little wider since you'll be running flares. You can see the specifics on my web pages and then just figure out how much further you want to go out for the flares. http://mysite.verizon.net/ress1lhb/barts570z/id19.html BTW - Running wide spacers isn't a problem as long as they're well made.

Slammed68 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I know on S10's to run vette wheels, which many people have done, you need to run like 55mm spacers in the rear. Who makes some pretty good quality spacers for a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they can get the thickness you need, but give Gabriel a call at Techno Toy Tuning. http://technotoytuning.com/productdetail.php?p=356 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Awesome.. Ive been dying to have these wheels on a Z but I wasn't sure it would be doable. Hopefully they wont end up needing 10 inches of spacers lol.. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPD47 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 BTW - Running wide spacers isn't a problem as long as they're well made. That's totally incorrect, it puts increased wear on the bearings and studs. I dont like anything more than 20mm. There is a reason "large" spacers are banned from most track use!

rudypoochris Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Spacers and adapters... I assume you guys are talking about running 30mm-50mm adapters. I personally wouldn't, I would be afraid to personally, your much better off getting a wheel that fits correctly imho. In an 8.5" and 9.5" size from measurements I have taken on an 240z (also Watanabe uses this specification), I would think 4.5" of backspacing is ideal. That leaves you with -6 front and -19 rear... Adapting from a +25/+30 setup... that is a 31mm front adapter and a 49mm rear adapter. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
