Sonethirty Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I know there is a wheel forum, but this is more zx specific. Anyone running something like a 15x8 -35? I got a line on a very nice set, but I cannot find anything in the wheel forum with a fittment like this. Think I would need flares? Im thinking these should be pretty flush. Ive been looking for a wheel fitment guide but cannot find it. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for the newb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurePontiacKid Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 would not need flares, just put them on the car without tires and see if you need any stretch/roll/pull on the fenders You can fit 15x10 -44ET with enough stretch under 280ZX fenders without flares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonethirty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I remember socal-s130 having something like this on his Z. They stuck out like crazy though. Im staying away from any type of fender roll. I wouldnt give it a seconds thought on my old s13. Im too scared to mess up my Z trying something like that on it though. 15x10 -44 would be insanely awesome. Unfortunately 2k for a set of wheels is not in my budget. lol.

PurePontiacKid Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 lol 2k for a set of wheel that size... anyways, here's a website that might interest you: http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp with those specs, it doesn't look like you should have too many problems fitting the wheels. (compared to 15x8 0ET wheels I've seen, the lip is only 1.4" wider) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonethirty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ok I guess these are 15x8 with a similar offset. And the set below will be on my Z soon. Well, just not in neon colors..ill take care of that fast. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurePontiacKid Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The neon colors are cool though, just as long as your car is slammed lol put one of each color on each side, and front to back, like in the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(compared to 15x8 0ET wheels I've seen, the lip is only 1.4" wider) Im just sayin, most of the stuff I see in that size are epsilons, wats or etc. Edit: Right now my car is 4x4 status. A set of stances will cure that this summer. Thanks for the link. I think I got this figured out. Mods close er up or delete. Thanks!

KnightoftheRound Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 15x10 -44 would be insanely awesome. Unfortunately 2k for a set of wheels is not in my budget. lol. 15x10 -40 Rear, -33 Front. Rolled fenders, 225/50/15s I just had it aligned yesterday, I believe the guy said I had -1 3/4 camber or something, but it definitely wasn't -2 or more. /end pic whoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VernonZ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've got to see your ZX Knight, I am in Hampton. 15x10 -40 Rear, -33 Front.

KnightoftheRound Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've got to see your ZX Knight, I am in Hampton. Yeah, I'll drive it instead of my TT to the next meet/show, whenever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Where did you get those wheels? I like to get this same set of wheels for my ZX because it will have an LSx very soon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VernonZ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 For the 757 area, I usually look at vadriven.com and look at the events section. Usually Sumospeed (nissan guy) has meets. But you usually have the honda, bmw, and acura guys posting also. There is also weekly meets starting in the spring at Bass pro shops in Hampton, and at the Freedom Car Wash in VA beach. Yeah, I'll drive it instead of my TT to the next meet/show, whenever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightoftheRound Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 @ Vinh: Saw them on ebay, paid 2500 for them shipped. They are SSR Longchamp XR4 wheels. @Vernon: Yeah, I went to Freedom Wash a couple times...now I just go there to wash my car, there were WAY too many idiots there drag racing down Independence in front of the wash, and people doing burnouts in the parking lot, and otherwise being obnoxious. I have heard of the Bass Pro thing, but those kids are still street racing out there, its only a matter of time before the cops start watching that area too, like with Freedom Wash. I'll have to check up on VAdriven, I don't check it as often as I probably should, but I'm usually busy with work/school to do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurePontiacKid Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I DEMAND more pics of your car, it is lovely lol now with the 225's will the wheels tuck up into the fender? or do they rub? And how much have you lowered your car? did you do anything to adjust the rear camber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathhh Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Im sorry i dont understand, but how come the wheels are looking as if they are tilted outwards from the car? Like it has horrible suspension or something. Im unaware of any good reason for this right now, so i am just curious why they are like that.

PurePontiacKid Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 tilted like positive camber? anyways, here's my car with a 15x10 -44 Eagle Alloy wheel on the back (front suspension is out of the car right now lol): first pics with no spacer: the last two are probably closer to my final ride-height and these are with a 1/4" spacer (I think I'll order my wheels with this offset, just to one up my friend now ): wheel specs: 15x10 -44---205/60-15 and I bought these for $133 happeh birfdeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Looks like you are going the bozozuka route??? Seen that a lot while i was stationed in Japan. Hell I even had pipes like that on my toyota chaser at one time. Really loud though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurePontiacKid Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm just going mild boso, mainly just the wheels and exhaust (which is for show only, I'll take it off when I'm dailying my car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Im sorry i dont understand, but how come the wheels are looking as if they are tilted outwards from the car? Like it has horrible suspension or something. Im unaware of any good reason for this right now, so i am just curious why they are like that. I'm assuming you're talking about the negative camber on the ZX. It's a function of suspension geometry, so as the car is lowered it gains camber. A higher (negative) camber angle tends to produce more lateral force, however that trend is also tire dependent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightoftheRound Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 It looks like PurePontiac has really low pro-sidewall tires on those wheels though, I have 225/50/15s on mine, the 50 series sidewall makes it less obnoxious looking as the cars in Japan, and some of the hipari/boso style cars here in the US can be. EDIT: Not to say Pontiac`s car looks obnoxious or anything, just from those pics, the side walls looks really small, and disproportionate.
