Lazeum Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Have you look at carefully? There's plenty of info on the board... Anyway, I've been thru this process with my tires and rims. Take the stock size as reference (left dimensions) and compare with your wheels on the following link. Be careful with the offset too. Rims-n-tires.com For your info, I had 215/45-17 yoko ES100 with 17x7" rim with +42mm offset and 35mm spacers that fit right on my 240z.

Silver Mine Motors Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I would put either 215/45/17 or maybe 225/45/17 series tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooler Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I have a set on my car and I use Bridgestones G019 Grids in tire size 225/45/17. Work perfect and my car is lowered. Edited: Oops, made a fat finger on the tire size. It's 45 not 25.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooler Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I will this weekend with the rim and tire. Car looks like crap, it needs a paintjob. I have just about got all of my sheet metal in to get'er done but the funds are running low so that will have to wait a little while. I normally would do all the bodywork and paint myself but I don't have anywhere to do it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaniuk Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm running 17X7 with spacers and 215/45/17s. Car is the stock height, but the wheels will rub a bit when I'm backing up and really crank it a long way to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Whats the offset on your wheels trevor? What size spacer are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaniuk Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 +40 offset not sure on the exact width of the spacers. They're pretty thick - 20 or 30mm. They rub on the front of the wheel on the stock front roll pan thing. I think a front air dam, or lowering the car a bit would stop the rubbing.

Spooler Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 hey spooler can you post a pic of your car with the 17's? Sorry guy, I didn't have a chance to take a picture of it. I had to finish up some things and get it to the shop ASAP for new floorboards and a couple of more things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Like others mentioned MSA also reccomends 215 45 17 on the front and 215 50 17 in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerstar Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Trevor, those wheels look excellent. Definitely one of my favorite wheels on a Z, although I might go with a little thicker tire if it fits. Maybe a 55 on the aspect rastio or so:) bco6, those are also very, very nice. Which wheels are they? I'm interested in the size of the spacers each of you are running to get them to fit properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
