does anyone have a guide or a link to a site that explains all these terms used for alloy wheel specifications? or is someone able to explain them?

 

also what spec wheels are needed to fit on the zed? is it only the offset that needs to be correct?

 

cheers guys

OK chaps, read and destroy... I've attempted to answer this by writing a FAQ. :cool: Feedback welcome, and I'll edit appropriately.

What other wheels fit (or might fit) straight on - I'll edit the final list into that FAQ. I can think of...

 

'liner

200SX

 

And different centre bore - usually not a problem:

RX7

MR2 and Supra

 

350Z Rays offset is too small - but only just... might get away with it.

"Offset

+35...42 mm"

 

does that mean u shouldnt get negative offset wheels for a zed? only offsets between +35 and +42?

Correct!

 

You can get something with a smaller offset and use a spacer, so the whole wheel sticks out a bit more than it should, but that's as much of a hack as it sounds. Personally I wouldn't if you plan on going round any corners. :rolleyes:

 

No way will neg offset fit!

 

(And ta for the feedback, and I might doodle a better diagram at some point...)
