mossy74 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Is anyone here or does anyone know if you can run watanabe 16x8.5 -6 in the rear and 16x8 0 offset in the front (no flares) on a 240z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 the 0 on the front will be fine, the -6 in the rear would need a flare. Here are 16x8 et7 front, and 16x8.5 et14 in the rear. 225-45 front 225-50 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoracer Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 How is the ride quality of the 16x8.5's? I'm trying to find out if I want 15x8.5's or 16x8.5's I have Flares and Coilovers so not concerned about clearance with right offset and ride height.

Contact Eiji at sales@datsunspirit.com Tell him I sent you. I believe he has a pair of 16x8.5. He can get you 15" if you decide to go that way. With the 16" you have more of a tire choice.

carusoracer Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 This is the look I'm going for with the watanabes, it wouldn't be anyones car here would it? So did anyone come to conclusion on what size and diameter rims these are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy74 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Going by 240ztt's pics maybe they are 16x8 0 offset, the rears do look like they have a bit more dish but it could just be the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willv260Z Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 225/50/16 16x8.5 -6 R Type Watanabe Hey man very nice Z! I was wondering if you rub at all with those 8.5" wide wheels at that offset? Do you have to use coilovers with that setup? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
