scrumpy Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I'm about to replicate the Watanab/Minilite wheel look on my 260Z. Can anyone tell me which wheel size will fit under the Z with NO fouling of guards throughout the whole suspension travel at full tilt. I'm thinking a 15x6 would be just right. Which backspacing? What size tyre? Exceptional value-Made in Australia-Not from Asian aluminium conglomerate metal. http://www.performancewheels.com.au/pdf/superlite.pdf Quote
oldmates260z Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 If you look in this forum under Wheels and Tyres there is some good info. Also a great link for different tyre sizes is: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Would be interested in the prices you get for the Superlites Quote

aegean Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Not a great fan of spacers. I think it is better to get the correct size wheel in the first place, rather than have to use spacers. Quote
Scando Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I run 15 x 7 superlites under standard guards and they fit easy but I'm not sure what offset they are. From the clearances on my car I think 15 x 8's would fit if you got the offset perfect. Quote
Toecutter Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 yer i used to have them on my car. 15x7 easy fit up to 225x55 on the back, 205x65 front tyres goes nicley re rolling diameter as per thread above. Quote
warrenz Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Hi When I'm done getting it all back together I was considering 16x7 Superlites. I will be interested in where you get them from and the price. Warren Quote
