yeah mine are hub centric bolt ons, would definately not run them otherwise, the rims were on my R31 skyline, offset was killa without spacers, unfortunately the fronts touched the strut on the zed so i have no choice but im hoping my coilover struts and 32 gtr brakes might fix that, either that or new wheels. will be putting in rear S13 coilovers but will be getting custom made tops for them as i wont be modifying the strut towers at all.

Just a comparison this is mine with 18x10 +10 rear and 18x9 +10 fronts....

Image

Front strut clearance is about less than 10mm as I can only just fit my finger between the back of the rim and the strut. Rears fit easy. Outer clearance may be a minor issue for me when its lowered, as 200ZR guards arent as flared as the S2 300ZX. I run pretty stretched tyres so I think it will be ok given the rear naturally cambers in, and my front coilovers have some camber adjustment too. Nothing a jack handle wont fix to roll the guard lips :shock:

Offset? Spacers? Tyre size?

Any other photo's of the wheels/tyres? Would love to see that stretch. Plus looks like a nice dish on the wheels too. What rims are they?

So some 17x9's -13 and 17x9.5's with -19 offsets with 215's and 225's would be perfect with some 30mm bolt on flares then. :twisted:

They are Work VS-MX wheels, quite old school mesh rim, with decent dish. There is a side on photo in the 'show off your z31' section so look for my thread in there.

No-one else with an internet connection that lives in an English speaking country has done it, because people seem to think its too difficult to cut the rear quarters.
Oh, and I want to keep the kouki front end.
