7MGFORCE Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Okay so I have a chance to upgrade my rear wheels to 17x10.5 with 6.63 backspacing. With the 2" spacer I would have 4.63 back spacing. I have search and people recomend 4.5" back space. But would .13" not make it on regular suspention?(I just got these new so I don't want to spend money again to change to coil over.) The tires will be 335/35 Or do I need coilovers? Ps: this car is just a 1-2 day a week cruise car so please spare me with the whole spacer thing.

NZeder Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Is your car a 240z/260z or 280z? ie 51mm struts of 55mm struts? I know my old 240z with the 51mm struts could take a rim with 4.7" of backspace with the correct rubber installed. However the same setup would not work on the front of a 260z (our local 260z is much like the 280z ie has the 55mm struts and front spring perch is lower than the 240z setup) Hope this info is of use - here is pic of my zed with the rims with the 4.7" backspace - they are 16x9 with a 225/45/16.
