http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pts/2358696458.html Seems to indicate they come in 4x114.3 +25. For the street that could be made to work I guess... Pretty damn cheap indeed.

+25 on a 9.75 inch rim will not fit on stock suspension on a Z. Thats 6+ inches of backspacing, With coilovers and maybe spacers it might be possible but no way on stock suspension as it requires 4.5 inches of backspacing.

call me crazy but isn't a 205 tire a little narrow for a 8.25 rim? Most cars are running like a 225 with a 7 inch rim, so I would think you would run at least a 245 with a 8.25. That said your tires do not look too stretched to me and your car looks awesome with those rims. So just curious why you went with 205's?

Thanks Wheeler, I don't know how a larger tire would fit without rubbing, on these wheels? I had to roll the lip because it almost cut the tire. Maybe with the lip rolled I could fit a little wider but it would probably continously graze the fender. I'm not too worried about the 205's. I'm running the l24 with a 4 speed, I'm barely hitting the speed limit. Once I get more power I'll throw on some wider wheels with flares. Yea I didn't think the stretch was very aggresive either, so it seems to work for now.

I am trying to like these wheels due to their fitment, but the more I look at the new XXR 527's the more they remind me of fish scales (silver ones in particular). I can see myself tiring of this wheel after a few months on my car, the spokes are too thin and they have no lip, this is just my opinion as everyone has their own taste.

I wasn't sure about the wheel either, but once I mounted them, the car looked pretty tuff.

Granted, a dropped Z probably looks tuff with any wheel. Oh and yea, I agree I don't know what the silver version will look like on our cars. I opted for black in the event the wheel was not flattering for our body style, it would at least hide the wheel a bit.

 

So far I'm loving them, not to mention the stance and wheel combo breaks necks every time I drive it, even the old guys. lol

Hey Im really good friends with the marketing directer at XXR would you mind if I send him these pics to put them on the site?

 

Let me know!

 

If you're refering to my pix, not at all. I've got a new exhaust if they need additional rear pix. ;)

Shoot me a note at Alex@DailyDrifter.com if you need any additional info.

Pictures finally. Call them repulsive or whatever ya want, but when these babies have coilovers for neighbors, i think the car will look pretty damn good..

Hey Z hunter, look'n good!

Do you plan to drop it? If you do, throw one of the 9.75" on the front just to see what it looks like.

I think it looks fantastic! I'm taking a similar route with mine, waiting on coilovers...........

I'm looking at getting the same wheels you purchased but really need to run a wider tire. could you take a picture from under the car of the clearance between the tire and the strut tower in the rear. if you have coilovers, could you raise the car a bit to run wider tires and prevent the rubbing of the fender?

 

thanks

Thanks for the complements.

 

Dailydrifter,

 

I have been thinking of doing the same thing actually, but it might be a while since money doesn't come easy when you're 17. <_< hahaha

Zhunter,

 

What size tires are you running? I'm actually really interested in these. I have a 240SX rear subframe and need some +25 or +30 rims with super wide fenders for my rear end to sit flush. But, I have standard Z front subframe so I would need to stick with a standard fitment to look sleek.

 

How far past the fender does the rim/tire stick out? What kind of flares are you running? (standard MSA flares or the oversized flares that you can purchase from ZforceProductions?

New-to-240z,

 

In the rear, I have 245/45/17. In the front, I have 215/45/17. On the stock fenders, the rear tires stuck out a good 1.5 to 2 inches. Fronts fit flush. Flares are just your average size from MSA.

 

Note: A minimum of 1.25" spacers are required for the rear wheels to fit.
