S30 SPL Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 These are in 17x8 +6 and 17x9 +13, what does everyone think about this look? Will it fit the Z (S30) well? Will it clear the stock fenders? My car will have coilovers on it and the 5 lug conversion. Cobra brakes in front, GT500 (Mustang GT) in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think the wheels look nice but, to me how they fit under the fenders is just as important. Some spacers might fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310z Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The wheels look great. Fit may be an issue. May come down to the exact tire you run. With the front wheels turned the clearence at the lower valence could be an issue. With coil overs, those rears just might fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30 SPL Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 From reading people's posts, it seems that the Rota 16x8 +4 fits pretty flush up front. From Bartman's fitment of 18x9.5 with a +19 offset, that is definately flush. I think the front should be close since it will sit 2mm further in to avoid the front valance or air dam. The rear, I hope will fit since it is 1/2" narrower and 5mm further out than Bartman's setup. I think I will use a 225/45R17 or 215/45R17. For the rear, either a 255/40R17 or 245/40R17. But saying that these will fit and sit pretty flush with the fender, what does everyone think about this style of wheel on a S30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 One opinion for them looking good on a S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I used to like that look on the S30, but I now think it is a little too complex and out of place personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCchris Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 One opinion for them looking good on a S30. Plus one! Will look good on an S30. I like this type of wheel design but prefer the ones without the center cap that covers the lug nuts. Guess I like my nuts exposed.......

S30 SPL Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think exposed nuts and the lack of a center cap cover is better too... less parts to go obsolete and not be able to find... I guess I'll go check if they clear the Cobra brakes and get them if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You should be able to make them fit under rolled stock fenders. Clifton is running 17x9 on the rear of his car without flares. His net offset is about 25mm with 8" springs. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=119352 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they don't hit the calipers up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
