darom Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I am seeking advice if I should buy these rims/tires for my 1" dropped 76 280z (Eibachs/HPs combo). The price is right, the tires are almost brand new. The seller mentioned that these rims used to be mounted on his brother's 2" dropped 1982 280zx turbo. 1" off-set. The tire size is 225 50/15. I'd like _not_ to roll the fenders. I have a MSA type2 in the front, but my biggest concern is the rears. The car is in the paint shop. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Denis '76 280z - under construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darom Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 John, Thanks for a helpful hint. The offset is 1". Without rolling the fenders, I guess I won't be able to fit them in the back. I will keep on looking for the right set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 if these are 7" rims are a +1" offset (back spacing of 4.5") they should fit your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm running Eibach springs with 225-50R15 on 15x8" zero offset wheels. No rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
