  1. Would have gone 275/40/18 rear for closest match to OEM RR. Though 265 is ok. Either 245 or 255/40/18 works though 255/40 is closest. I like to stay within 1% of the RR if possible and wider tyres = grip.

    Did you use a tyre calculator Bobby?

     

    I didn't mate, Spoke to a couple of lads who had a similar set up and said it will work well. They're only part worn ones just now as i just wanted to get the Alloys on the car. Waiting for funds to replenish but i have no patience sometimes. Car isn't being driven much at all at the moment anyway cause I'm not finished with the bodywork. can't wait to unveil it, hopefully next month.

  2. So i went with 265's on the back and 245's on the front. Slight stretch on the front but look perfect in my opinion. Thanks for the help gents. Will post pics shortly.

  3. on a serious note - i did my research before getting mine, but it escapes me now.

    essentially its the offset thats the key figure to be used in conjunction with the wheel width.

     

    depending on offset, i beleive there are guys using 9.5 front and 10.5 rear on their Zs.

    i have (if i recall correctly) 8.5 front, and 9.5 rear. i cant remember my offset (33 front, 30 rear rings familiar) but when i calculated it, it gave me the same kind of 'extrusion' as the 20/25mm spacer setup on Rays.

     

     

    Seller says They have an offset of et20 or 25, he's gonna let me know exactly which later. He has them fitted to a skyline R32.

     

    I can't find any post with anyone running 10j front's. I think they could work, but I'm no expert.

  4. Ok, so this may be a really stupid question, but i've just ordered a set of alloys, and have now found a guy selling a set of japan racing wheels which have the look i really want. So now i've contacted him to see if he wants to do a part ex or swap deal.

     

    Only one thing thats making me think NO. All four wheels are 10j wide.

     

    Will it work?

     

    Be nice :lol: :lol: :lol:
