Rim and Offset Question with 300zx brake upgrade - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Kernel Klinko · 06-14-2005, 02:47 PM

O.K. I don't have the 300zx brake upgrade on my car yet, but i'm going to get it on the front and rear; soon. I also put wide rear quarter panels on my car so I want my wheels to stick out further to make them more flush with the quarter panels so I was wondering if anyone knew the biggest negative offset and the biggest and widest rim that you can run on the front and back wheels. I'm especially curious about the offset on the rear wheels. Remember this is with a 300zx brake upgrade all around and Cusco coilovers. I'm not saying I want to put the biggest, fatest rims on my car I just want to know my boundries.
Thanks

I'm gonna try not to be an ass about this, especially since your ass was chewed in the fender brace thread, so here it goes...

1. Brake clearance has absolutely NOTHING to do with offset and EVERYTHING to do with spoke design.

2. Wheel offset is dependent on wheel width (i.e. a 7" wide +25 will not be the same clearance wise as a 9" wide +25)

3. Flushness is a VERY relative term. This depends on how wide your overfenders and how flush you want them.

SEARCH FOR THE WHEEL SPECS THREAD! There was a whole thread on that.
