BoBakTXL · Jul 29th, 2005, 03:26 AM

Hey, hows it going, I just won a set of four (4) 1990-1996 Nissan 300zx NON-Turbo wheels, and was wondering:
Whats the WIDEST tire I can fit without sidewall flex.
I got a 86 300zx, and people are telling me (including z31.com) that im going to need some spacers, or adapters, or longer studs and nuts, im going nuts on what to do.
Whats the #1 CHEAPEST WAY possible to attach these wheels to my car, I don't know what size spacers or whatever I need, so I really need help, I wanna get these on ASAP, please send me links to the exact products I need to purchase so I can attach my new wheels to my old car (lol).
thanks

I really wouldn't go over 225 you could get away with 235 in the rear maybe, but I would just go 225 all the way around like a stok Z32 has. Also get hubcentric adaptors. They won't be cheap, but your other option will leave you just replacing stripped stubs all the time.

without sidewall flex? Ummm... you want sidewall flex. Widest tire depends on several things, like aspect ratio, tire design, tire material, etc. I suggest you get 225/50R16 tires. They'll keep the same outside diameter as stock wheels/tires so your speedometer won't be off.
As far as adapters, you need thicker than 11mm and thinner than 54mm.

I didn't say that. I said the 225/50 will keep the speedometer the most accurate.
cheap = crap. if you want your car to vibrate, go cheap. If you want a smooth ride, buy a good set.

BoBakTXL · Aug 4th, 2005, 05:18 PM

thats true, thanks alot az z.

Can you maybe link me bro, to a site where they sell the 100% adapters that I need, I keep reading 482385 diffrent things of how to fit these rims on my car, and am just confused now on where to buy these adapters.

BoBakTXL · Aug 4th, 2005, 08:56 PM

Ok here is what I got so far:
I got a set of Four NA Z32 Wheels 16 x 7.5
I got a 86 NA Z
I need 20 lug nuts

Stock 86NA offset = 10mm
Z32 NA wheels 7.5" wide +45mm offset

What size wheel adapters do I need to fit my 4 wheels on my Z to make them look good and not stick out or not stick "in".

AZ-ZBum · Aug 4th, 2005, 10:01 PM

go back up and read my first reply.

BoBakTXL · Aug 5th, 2005, 03:37 AM

you need thicker than 11mm and thinner than 54mm.

But lol, theres a big diffrence between 11 and 54 mm, whats a good width to make it not stick out but not look "in" the wheel wells, thanks.

After getting the adapters, I need Z32 LugNuts, and tires and im all set correct?
thanks alot.

AZ-ZBum · Aug 5th, 2005, 02:03 PM

think about it. what does a spacer/adapter do?

BoBakTXL · Aug 5th, 2005, 03:45 PM

it spaces out the wheel to "stick out" more so it doesnt rub against internal "wheel well" parts such as the brakes, shocks etc...

AZ-ZBum · Aug 6th, 2005, 02:54 PM

yep. so now, if you want to space the wheels out to the edge, do you think you need a thicker or thinner spacer?

BoBakTXL · Aug 6th, 2005, 05:34 PM

thicker spacer, but whats a good exact size.

edit: I went outside and checked, I want my new wheels to stick out in the front 1 more inch from stock, since the stock wheels are "sunk in" a little bit, but the back I want to stick out 1/2 an inch more, since there sunk in, but not to much.
Which means I would need a 2 inch spacer all around correct?
