Kidney Wheels

[stevesz]

Does anyone have a set of Sampson kidney wheels 6 x 14 with 90 mm backspace for a Group S race car?

Are you just talking about the standard after-market wheels, like these?

The photo looks like the wheels I am chasing. The back space of 90mm or less is important. The original wheels fitted by dealers were Sampson Engineering. I think Performance alos had a similar wheel with 100mm backspace.

These wheels were fitted to HS30 00051, pretty sure they were the wheels you're talking about? If I get a chance I'll follow up with the owner about these wheels and their spec. Although I don't think they will be for sale I'm afraid.

 

NB: The Nissan 2400 OHC valve cover also. Only came on the first 100 or so 240z's sold here.

If the measurement is from the absolute outer edge of the inner rim to the hub mounting face then unfortunately mine are 100mm.

sorry the 100mm backspace gives too much guard overhang even with a 10mm spacer. I need 80, 85 or 90 mm backspace.

Hi Steve

 

I sent you a pm which you never read..

 

I have a set of 14x7 if you are interested I can measure them if you like??

14x7 is no good for Steve's group S.

[stevesz]

Thanks for the replies guys. I did try to reply to the PM but it must have got lost in the email system. Unfortunately the

Historic Commission have limited all Group S Zs to 14x6 wheels. This despite the allowances to Porsches and an Alfa  Montreal from SA. Let's hope the recent announcement that Group S cars will be checked for cylinder capacity is real. Expect to see several very fast cars not so fast in the near future. Sorry got off topic and don't mean to start another round of "why can't the dattos have vented brakes wider wheels etc what is is till someone comes up with proof that the HC will accept.
