![]() I was going to go through MSA, but I found the wheels for $99 apiece at discount tire(even though they also had to ship them from California.) The stock acorn lug nuts can be re-used, and after $10 for a set of Z logos from MSA for the konig center caps I saved around $200.the spindle caps on my front axle had to be 'tweaked' for the center caps to clear, per MSA's advice. The ride of my car improved dramatically, and even though they are a popular wheel amongst Z's, the fact that there are fewer Z's out there every day still lets the wheels stand out. I went with Rewinds last month, 15x7, with Goodyear 205/60/15's, after 8 years of stock wheels and 195/70/14 uniroyals.My Z is also lowered and I've had no issues with fit. This also brings to mind something else I've been curious about - exactly what kind of lug nuts do Rewinds need? Tapered/acorn, or the straight style with washers?Īnyone here have experience with this seller? Edited Februby Inf Similarly, for the 16x7's: $550 shipped vs. Although, the MSA kit specifies that it comes with wheel caps, valve stems, and lug nuts, whereas the JLB page makes no mention. Less than MSA, who currently price it at $550, and I believe shipping is another 50 bucks or so from California to Texas. Rewinds are about 3/4 of the way down the page, and they seem to have the lowest price at $499 per set for the 15x7 0mm offset size.INCLUDING shipping. I'm running Tokico HP shocks and Tokico springs from the popular kit, and I'm hoping 60 profile tires will help a little with some of the rougher roads around town.Īnyway, I've been all over a few threads about Rewinds and other 8 spoke wheels here and at HybridZ, and somewhere along the line I picked up this link: Been mulling over 15x7 Konig Rewinds and 205/60/15 tires to go on them. I'll definitely post updates when time comes.I'm also in the market for wheels. but thats a great site to look at for sure. I havent seen the watanabe site that you posted, i guess its because i can't read japanese! Hahaha. Thanks a bunch! All this helps every bit for sure. I wish you luck in this pursuit, please post images/details as they develop. There is a guy on this site named Lalit0 (I think) that has 8.5s all around, and it is a TIGHT fit. S30s are down the page a bit, anyone running 9's I believe has flared their car. Have you ever been to the Watanabe site and checked out all their photos? You'd have to stretch a tire for sure, I doubt a 225 would be enough, maybe more of a 205.? The tire stretch debate is probably one for another day, but just ask yourself if you feel like exposing the bead of a 700 dollar wheel, 4 times over. I believe the 16x9 Wats have a -13 offset. ![]() HaaJeHaa is dead on about the stuff you'll need to run at minimum. I was in your boat for a little while, but then I realized that who am I kidding, I can never afford 3k for wheels haha. So i ask, PLEASE, only serious replies.īare in mind, I'm new to all of this, so be gentle! I'm still trying to understand all of this. I'm seriously trying to grasp these concepts and I want to learn. Please, don't put any "smart" answers like "anything could fit if you want it too!" or whatever. How does a few millimeters matter so much that fender flares are required? Would the turn matter to a few millimeters? Lastly, going back to my original question (since i still really dont understand), what size rims WIDTH wise WOULD fit on the 240z? (putting in mind the need for fender flares and the corner clearance.) Now I've seen already that the silver mines would work esp w/ 16inch rims, but i'm confused on the offset. With that i'm looking to also put in Silvermine's brakes. ![]() ![]() I'm thinking of putting in Techno Toy Tuning's coilover conversion setup on the front and rear. I'm still confused as to how some guys could fit 16x9.0's on their Z? I think the general consensus is that 16x8.0 fits just enough on a 240z in the front w/ no scraping and in the back 8.5 are a good fit. I'm really new to this, but correct me if i'm wrong. Okay, i've done a search on the watanabe's on the Z and I'm still confused. ![]()
