Z32 Wheels into a 240sx..

[yusuke1923]

Im sorry if there is thread like this already, i tried searching and i cannot find one...

Ok here goes... Do you need spacers and/or have coilovers to make the z32 wheels fit? I have the whole conversion... just wondering...

I should be fine with the z32 wheels wid no spacers and stock struts?

someone let me kno! thanks guys!

I had to use spacers on the front, at least 15mm. The rears should fit fine.

i have stock shocks with eibach springs and they fit just fine, then i moved to 350z 18" rims :)

im guessing you're already 5 lug? the front hubs dont work off the z32 i dont think... but also - the tt and NA have different wheels - the fronts might be hte same, just what are you doing a "conversion" to s13, s14 and what do you mean conversion? are you talking about brakes? just wheels?

did you attempt to mount some first? answer solved!

10mm spacers will make things clear. I'd go with 15mm or 20mm for flushness though.

[yusuke1923]

Even with stock suspensions right?

also are we talking S13 or S14, rear Z32 will fit all around on S14, front will not fit without spacer. so check to see if they are all the 9" rears.

Make sure oyu put them on right too. Z wheels have a direction which allow for brake cooling.

Removed the smart-assedness from this post and you have an easy answer, this IS provided that you are already 5-lug and already have (or simply have access for a test fit) the wheels:

Here, Ken presents valid points... Are you looking to fit the front/rear set, 16x7.5f and 16x8.5r? All 4 rears, so as to have wider wheels/tires all around. What year 240SX you looking to do this on? Help us to help you:

Lastly, very valid is this point, which explains itself:

All in all, it is very possible, I have seen Z32TT wheels on S13 and S14s before, I know for fact that the S14 was a kouki and did have bolt-on spacers, I couldn't begin to remember what thickness, because we were at a meet and I didn't care to ask. The S13 no longer has those wheels, but I know he was on Apexi World Sport coils at the time... This was almost 4 years ago. Research and test fitting will be your friends.

yea im going to test everything hahah thanks for all your input..

you have to run at least a 10mm spacer to clear the brakes, and at least a 10mm spacre if you have coilovers. Stock brakes and susp, you should be able to just bolt them up

i have r32 brakes... which pretty much the same as z32... but i have koni inserts so they are running on the stock suspension canister tubing... most likely i will be placing 15mm all around...
