aidannn Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Year/Model: 1973 240z Suspension: Standard with King SL's Body Modification: Rolled rear guards + zg flares Rim Brand: Hayashi Streets / SSR Professor SP1R (at the moment) Rim Diameter: 15 / 15 Rim Width: 9.5" Rear / 8.5" Front Rim Offset: -19 / +2 Rim Price: too much / 900 2nd hand Tyre Brand: Firenza somethings / Toyo T1S Tyre Width: 195 / 225 (yes i know) Tyre Profile: 55 / 45 back Tyre Price: not sure Comments: The Hayashi Streets fit perfect with zg flares on the rear. Very flush. The SSR Professors sat nicely on the front with stock guards. Would sit conservatively on the rear. Now as my car has zg flares they are too sunken for my liking. They came with 45 profile Toyos which are too small and have a huge wheel gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agno Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Year/Model: 1975 260Z 2 seater Suspension: Sectioned coilover struts, RCAs on the front Body Modification: None Rim Brand: Work Equip 03 Rim Diameter: 15 F&R Rim Width: 8" F&R Rim Offset: -3 F&R Rim Price: $900 /pr Tyre Brand: Toyo T1R Tyre Width: 225 F&R Tyre Profile: 50 F&R Tyre Price: $220 Comments: No scrub on stock body at all, front has quite a bit of camber because of the RCAs. I would prefer another 5/10mm -ve offset on the front to match the rear's "flushness" or vice versa but I'm sure this would be different if I had less camber on the front. Rim Brand: Performance Superlite Rim Diameter: 15 F&R Rim Width: 7" F&R Rim Offset: +12 F&R Rim Price: Tyre Brand: Dunlop Formula R Tyre Width: 205 F&R Tyre Profile: 60 F&R Tyre Price: Comments: No scrub on stock body, fronts would rub castor rod on full lock. jacksonneaves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
