Evan Purple240zt Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have axis reverbs on my 240sx, so I can say quality is pretty good. I think they would look good. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 that's a nice rim. you think is't possible to get the nine inch rim to fit in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversix Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Those would look clean as long as you keep the sidewalls 30 or 35 series. You know, tire to wheel ratio. Also why not 235 or 245 front with another pair of ZG's just to complete the look? Would not be much more in terms of cost.

Bartman Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You could definitely go bigger if you wanted to. I'm running 18x9.5 on the back without any flares. http://mysite.verizon.net/ress1lhb/barts570z/id19.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRTY260Z Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I like your wheels too Bartman. Just wanting to go with a bigger lip. I'm also thinking of running same tire size as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Unless you have changed your bolt pattern they don't make a wheel that fits our car. I ahve called them several times and they did not have anything that would fit the car....Now things might have changed......if so let me know they are a pretty good quality wheel in the medium price range. I know lots of guys that have run them on their IS 300's ( which is what I had for 7 years) If you want some sick wheels you can try DPE wheels, i Forged, or J Line as well.........they cost some big bucks but the quality is unbelieveable......

Wedge Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I was checking those rims too a couple weeks ago they look really good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRTY260Z Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 As far as the bolt pattern goes, on their page it shows a 4x114 bolt pattern with a +20 offset. I was thinking of getting longer studs and a 1/2" spacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ya, watever you have to do to get the widest tire under your fender. i don't understand why people hate using spacers so much? tell me if i'm thinking about this in the wrong way. the way i see it is like this. lets say you have a rim that is eight inches wide, with 0 offset. so you have four inches on the out side and four inside. now you have a rim that is also 8 inches wide but it has a 40 offset. in order the make it fit you use a spacer to make it stick out so it fits like the 0 offset rim. so that rim with the spacer on it is now back to a zero offset. if the dimentions are the same then why do people say that spacers mess up the bearings? this is just somthing that i just don't understand maybe somone could explain.?

Careless Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i think having zg's in the rear only isnt going to look good with any wheel unless the zg flare is painted the same colour as the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ...then why do people say that spacers mess up the bearings? this is just something that i just don't understand maybe someone could explain.? Depending on the thickness of the spacer, you usually need longer studs with a spacer. The longer the studs & the more the wheel sticks out from the mounting face, the greater the leverage force exerted on the studs, which can in turn stretch or bend the studs... Usually on car with very sticky tires. That's what I understood from reading, I'm no expert on suspension geometry or anything. Hope it helped. To the more knowledgeable guys: Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
