STYLZ Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 i came here to call you a muppet for getting 10" wheels. but then it turns out you didnt mean diamter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 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.

lmc Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 10" will work on the front dependent on offsets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STYLZ Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Can you get away with 255 tyres for a 9.5j wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 245's would be my choice as i like a little stretch, but 255;s are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
