[mr_denner]

Hi all

 

I had bought this wheels before 2 years ago and I decided to install them now on my 240z, they are centerline 15X8.5

the rims:

 

 

my 240z:

 

 

But, before installing them on the car, Iam going to install Eibach Springs and they may lower the car about 1"-1.5" .

 

Any one have an Idea about tire size or recomendations before installing them??

 

Also I have zg fender flares and Iam not sure they will look good after installing this rims.

 

Also, I may paint the rims with black color excloding the lip, is it good?

 

Finally, that is my 2jz 260z project,not finished yet,:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really need your help and your ideas.

I really need help with tire size.

I did serch but could not understand what is going on.

Is any one owened a centerline (15X8.5) before ???

I do not know about my wheels only they are centerline 15X8.5( I do not know about their offset or backspacing or nothing), I found some information in centerline website but I could not understand it.

Those will fit but you won't be able to lower the car without flaring it. My friend has them on his 280z, the rears stick out about 1-1.5in and the fronts (which are 7.5s or 7s) end up a little less then flush with the fender.

 

You'll have to flair the car before installing them.

(Unless it's a 280zx, these fill the rear PERFECTLY)

 

On tires, it depends what kind you run. Right now his car has 225/50R15 and they look a little stretched (Hankook street tires). He used to run BFG Drag Radials (same size) and they sat perfect on these wheels.

 

Most places have recommended wheel width size for their tires, I'll see if I can find it.

I've seen a more general one out there... According to them 225s on an 8.5in wheel are too stretched.
