You would have to run a pretty large spacer to make these work with stock suspension since they have a 6.3" backspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahraini240z Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 seen them before... looks amazing, but I couldn't find their weight... anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaZeS30 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) A wheel that size is typically going to weigh 20lbs or more. But, you might be able to save a few pounds by using a low profile tire, to maintain close to stock wheel diameter you'd need to go with like a 35 or 40 profile. That wheel width would be awesome for 255s in the back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the stock wheel/tire combos (depending on model year) something like 45 lbs. for the 240Z? Not hard, even with cheaper aftermarket wheels, with today's wheel/tire combinations. I run the XXR 002s in 16x8, with a rather heavy 225/50 Yokohama tire and I'm still roughly two pounds lighter than that. I'm not sure how they'd compliment the look of an older Z, but they are stylish wheels. They would look rad on a 300ZX or 350Z.

draztik280 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am going to call the store today. They are located 3 miles from my house. I will try and ask if he would let me install these with the tires that i want and see if it would look good on the s30 before i buy them. hehe.

You would need to run about 2 inch spacers to make them work, which is too much to be comfortable imo, Plus most tire shops won't touch a car with spacers.

BLOZ UP Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Those are pretty much FWD wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stdgrabbag Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 not all of them are for fwd, there are a few different sizes and offsets for each. these could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarS30Z Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You know they make those in 16x8 -0 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draztik280 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) 16x8 also looks good, but I was planning on running flares with these boys. Edited January 11, 2011 by draztik280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he was getting those wheels listed. I have some XXRs 513s in 16x8-0, didn't even bother to see if those 527s were also in RWD offsets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I like them I'll keep them, if not I'll post them up forsale. I think Miata guys are gonna be all over these wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 definately post pics when you get them. I am thinking about buying a set of the new 526's for my s30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhunter Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I too have ordered a set. But I seemed to go all out. Gunmetal with 17x9.75 in back, 17x8.25 in front. Should be here by the end of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would look like crap on an S30 based on fitment alone. I actually saw 17's on an s30 for the first time the other day, they look too big on an S30.

JZ33 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^^^^ i would have to agree, but these might change my mind in the right sizes... Im waiting on a set for my 350, 18's though so way too big for the s30 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over30S130 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Desperatley need to see pics. Not enough of the newer line of the XXR wheels posted, especially wider widths and on a 280ZX which is what I have. Post pics as soon as you guys get them mounted on your cars. Be sure to mention size of wheel/tire and offset/backspace and any size spacer used and also anything different you would have done. Thanks.

Kevin.pk Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Not sure why people are liking these wheels, I find them repulsive. They would look like crap on an S30 based on fitment alone. I actually saw 17's on an s30 for the first time the other day, they look too big on an S30. x2 on that specific wheel. I'm probably a bit biased in the following statement, but I think 17"s can look perfectly fine on a s30. I think a lot of it comes down to the wheel type. A 17" with a stepped lip has a vastly different visual effect than some of the more modern style wheels such as the concave look.
