Z Wheels on 5 Lug s13?

[West]

I might be getting 300ZX wheels for my s13 once I get my 5 Lug Swap. My question is are they going to fit right, clearing Z Calipers, and down the road I will have coilovers. My thoughts are they wont work with coils but might with Z Calipers. Thanks for your input!

16x7.5 +45
16x8.5 +35

If they didn't clear Z32 calipers, how would they come stock on Z32's? I mean... no offense but that's pretty obvious. :D

You definitely might consider a spacer for the front wheels.

Z32 Wheels will clear calipers ( HAHAH, OMG .. Mark's a nOOb) :rolleyes: :p

I tested the 16x7.5 +45 on the front with 225/50/16 tires, they hit the stock struts. Running a 12mm or so spacer on the front, and you'll clear coilovers.
check it

yes they clear Z brakes
:D

Hmmm im stupid. O well.

How about Cobra Wheels on a s13?

[BadMoJo]

its should work. My 98 cobras (17x8) clear Z32 brakes and are +30 offset. Should look pretty nace and clear coilovers.

I have Z32 TT wheels on my 5-lug S13. They fit all the way around, even with my Apexi WS coilovers. I am limited on camber in the front, to clear the coilover without a spacer. If I had coilovers with adjustable upper mounts, I could get the camber I needed. (It is too far positive; suspension geometry would allow me to get more camber if adjusting from the top, but not with camber bolts I do have.) Too bad the WS coilovers don't work with aftermarket upper mounts.

They fit fine in the rear as well, and look great.

There are some pictures of the car on the website, www.unstable-hybrids.com under projects.

Anyone weigh the z32 wheels?

[West]

They are 18lbs, not sure about the wider one though. Stock 91 240 steelies are 18lbs.

How about the 18" rays on the 350Z.... im not sure of the exact sizing and offset.... but they are 5lug... i wonder if they would fit up on a S13 with a 5lug set up.... another question is i wonder if i can call the dealership and order that wheel/tire packageby itself... hummmm

I don't know the offset of Z33 wheels, but the bolt pattern is right. You could buy them from the dealer but you'd get raped.
