WANTED - Wheels to suit 260Z urgently

[DevilZ]

Hi,

 

I need wheels to suit a 260z with big brakes urgently.

 

Basically I'm after 17x7, 4x114.3 stud pattern with an offset between +10 to +20.

I'd settle for 16 inch wheels as well in the same sizing of any other 16 inch or 17's that people

know will fit on a 260z without hitting the struts or the edge of the gaurds.

 

Needed ASAP, let me know. Ohhh I'm in Melbourne so would prefer local wheels.

Ben at OTOMOTO sells some nice wheels in 16 and 17 for a good price. Look in the sponsors link area.

I had a look at those but I need them straight away, plus they dont look like they will fit without rubbing.

i assume you mean rubbing due to width?

 

is it just to pass a RWC or ? the only spares i have are the stock 14's, and my 17x8 or 8.5's just fit on the front ok without flares, but its possibly to close to pass a RWC

 

goodluck

If you put the money in his bank account ben will have em to you the next day

 

cannot get much quicker than that

 

Im sure if you ask him he can also reccomend which will fit perfect for your car

 

you wont find a wheel in the size you want anyquicker as +10 +20 wheels in 17s (or 16s) are not common

Ohhh no, I'm after wheels to buy. I was running 17x7 with a positive 40 offset and a 20mm hub adaptor. After my car was hit the wheel was damaged so insurance wont let the car leave the workshop without new wheels and my car is ready to pick up tomorrow. The problem is if an accident happens or the wheel breaks etc they are liable, so they want it sorted before I pick it up. I ordered a set of Performace Wheels 17x7 with +20 offsets 7 weeks ago. They were suppose to take 6 weeks to make but when I called them back the other day they told me they wont make them anymore until they have enough orders.....information they should have given at the start......so here I am after some wheels. They dont want me to use the hub adapters because they aren't street legal to use so I have a bit of problem. Having big brakes means I cant fit stock wheels either.

 

As for Ben's wheels, the 17's are just too wide. They will hit my struts and the fenders. My 17x7's with an effective +20 offset are 4mm away from the inside strut so for me to run Bens wheels the tyres will hit as the are 8.5 wide unless the tyres have a massive stretch on them.

hmmm...I've always thought a +20 offset is too much posative offset for a Z even with 7" wide rim as it sits the wheel in too close to the spring perch and also gives the car that pushed in wheel look and does'nt fill the guards. I'd go with a 0 offset for a 7" rim on an early Z. Jeez they must be pretty big brakes, can't they fit under the 16x8 -4's?

 

good luck

Oh forgot, look at Warrenz car he's got the 16x7 front and 16x8 rear. Some slight rubs on the rear but just needs a bit of lipping from memory and fill in gaurds really nicely. I'm sure you could fit pretty big brakes on with those wheels. Can get em over night.

Actually the 16x8 with a -4 will be perfect and I might have to end up going that way actually. I would prefer 17's though because then I can use my current tyres. Will find out what they have to say on it tomorrow then go from there. If they let me bring the car home withmy current setup then I can take my time to have some wheels made, though I wont be able to drive it. The other option will be those 16's from Ben I guess and then just some new tyres.

 

Yeah I wasn't happy with the +20 offset even, I'd prefer a +10 as then the wheel would sit right on theeddge of the guards. Just very difficult to get wheels for the Z.

 

the problem I was getting with the brakes wasjust that the caliper comes aout 2cm foward from the hub, meaning I need a wheels with good spoke clearence from the hub. The wheels Ben has will fit, would have worked out perfect if he had 17x7.5 or 17x8 in that offset. I know I can get those RB Rota's from the states in 17x7.5 with a +4 offset.Will be a bit of wait though.
