z ya Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hey Pete can you tell me what your wheels backspacing is in inches on the rear of your Z? I can never figure out the millimeter thing! I am looking at some 17x8 rears with 5" bs. I have 10" coil overs. The tires were 255/45/17 that I kinda wanted to use. Do you think I can squeeze them in??? The tire had a section width of 10.3.

fastzcars Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi Zya. They should fit fine I have a set of 17x8 centerline's with 5 inch backspace. with about an 1 3/8in space to my coilover's adjusting collor. Although I did have to roll the finder lip in the rear to get it to clear. I'm using a Kumho 712 tire 255-40x17, I hear different tire manf.dimensions are not all the same.

z ya Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 Yeah, I looked on his web site. It did not give his bs in inches just milli offset. Thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
