Careless Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi. Hello. Ciao. I had a short convo with someone who bought some mustang wheels for his 280zx and the wheels look pretty badbutt. (can we say @$$ here?). front 17X9 5x4.5 1.04 INCH lip 24mm offset rear 17X10 5x4.5 3.16 INCH lip 20mm offset the fronts could use a 10mm spacer on the 280zx to flush it up and move it away from the coil over. but on the z31 what am I looking at? I'll be using rear 50AE flares on the Z31 and sideskirts too. I just need to know if the sizes will work well on my z31 in comparison to the 280zx sizing.

tec280zx Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Input the specs into this website http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp and get the measurements for each wheel. Then go out and measure your z31. Thats what I did when buying the wheels. It helps if you make a cardboard template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ha ha, you are more than capable to work this out and then advise others whats right for the Z31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Everyone says it is indeed easy to work out a proper offset, but I don't have my flares mounted at all, and I don't wanna spend 700 bucks and then they're sunken or sit out too far It's just something I'd rather have a z31+wheel guru help me with. But I think the wheels will be fine with some spacers if too small in the front. Using an offset calculator is a little unreliable because I never had the stock wheels and I don't know how far out or how well to the fender they line up and what the difference would be in comparison to the new wheels... That's why I'm asking for anyones assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
