182stevecup Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 18" Mazda RX8 Alloy Wheels And 225/40/18 Tyres - Refurbished 5x114.3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-Mazda-RX8-Alloy-Wheels-And-225-40-18-Tyres-Refurbished-5x114-3-/162297117681?hash=item25c9a97bf1:g:Ez8AAOSwEzxYOZTA Would these fit the 300zx...I do have a bigger front brake conversion. Any help would be grateful as I simply cant stand my 19 inch monsters. Cheers in advance. Steve Quote
groover Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I have seen with a set of rx8 alloys on, not sure of the offset though with an ET50, also centre bore 70mm so you will need some 66.1 to 70mm spigot rings Quote

Thank you again. Quote
182stevecup Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 Just you tubed it....So I would need 66.1 to 70mm? Is 66.1 my wheel hub or the wheels hub size? Quote
bobgenie Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Nice wheels no good on a 300zx so don't buy them unless you have some storage space in the garage you wanna fill Quote
groover Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 66.1 is the zed centre hub diameter, 70mm is the centre of the RX alloy wheel, so the spigot ring makes up the difference between the two, however as Bob stated, not worth getting for the zed though, if it wasn't RX9 wheels i saw it may have been 350z wheels lol Quote
182stevecup Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 Nice wheels no good on a 300zx so don't buy them unless you have some storage space in the garage you wanna fill OK, any reasons why....as they are 114.3s so presumed all might fit. Newbie to wheel selection.... Quote
groover Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I guess the offset is the issue Effectively the wheel offset is also the distance from the centre-line of the wheel to the hub face. Therefore : If you put a wheel on the same hub with a bigger wheel offset, the wheel will sit further inside the wheel arch because the wheel's bolting face will have to move further in to meet the hub.

182stevecup Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 Thank you guys. Money saved for Lee as he still has my car..lol Quote
Funkysi Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 RX8 wheels....look good on a Mazda 6, but a little 'low-rent' for a 300zx. If you want that style of wheel, then try and find yourself some 350z anniversary wheels, they do work pretty well on the Z32, although not something I'd go for either. Not that easy to find in the UK though. These are nice and fairly hard to come by. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Skyline-Infinity-G35-Alloy-Wheels-Tyres-/272484099564?hash=item3f715165ec:g:orgAAOSwPCVX56ty However these are my favourite if you want a wheel from the 350z/G35 era on a Z32 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Skyline-350GT-350Z-18-x-8j-Wheels-Brand-New-Tyres-5-x-114-3-/132039068096?hash=item1ebe2449c0:g:ieIAAOSwa~BYRGnw Quote
182stevecup Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 if I'm being honest, I'm just looking to swap my 19s out for something a little smaller and bola like. I like the 7twenty style ones too (type 49) but with the extensive work in im having done to it at Lees, something cheap for now is the option...or a swap of course. I like the 2nd image the best although not the style I'm looking for. Appreciate the comments. Thank you. Quote
