I have been ofered a very nice set of 6 spoke alloys. They are original Nissan (with Nissan centre caps) and are stamped up on the rear with 18 X 8JJ. Offset is 30 (which I belive is correct for the Zed) and it also states CD100 (not sure what this means). Have tried them on and although they appear to fit, they do look a little big but that could be down to the wrong size tyres - 235/45X 18 front, 255/45 X 18 rear. They are in immaculate original condition and I am only paying £150 for them. The tyres are excellent Bridgestone Potenzas - just a shame they are the wrong size. My question is, what does CD100 mean and if I am replacing UK spec original alloys will the loss of a 1/2 JJ at the rear really make any difference (UK has 8 1/2 JJ). Bearing in mind that I am also gaining an extra 1/2 JJ at the front (UK has 7 1/2 JJ)

PCD should be 114.3 not 100 so no they wont fit

Cheers for your advice mate. What does PCD mean? Know that I have cleaned the back of the wheels better it actually states CD110 - there is no mention of a "P" CD. The only other marker is FZ32. The guy had them on a 200SX but they were way too big and he has subsequently downgraded.

Pcd stands for pitch circle diameter nissan dont do any 5 stud 100 pcd wheels so i think you will be ok with these may be a part code or something.

Cheers Taff. I was getting a little depressed over this as I though I had found myself a nice set of wheels at a reasonable price - and then they were the wrong ones. That said, the tyres wont be cheap.

Are they the six spoke 350z rims?

No, they are more rounded than those. That was my initial guess. I expect someone could probably tell me exactly what they are off - if I could work out how to down load a picture to this thread.

mail it to me mate, I'll put it up for you randomrobb@aol.com

Just sent to you. many thanks for this. Lets see if the experts can work it out for me.

 

Standard 350z wheel, that's actually the wheel I meant to post a pic of before lol

oh by the way, these should fit the Z absolutely fine

Brills, many thanks. Perhaps you could also help with my original question. Will it make any difference if they are 8J alround. I have a UK which has staggered wheels front and back. Can I just size up the tyres to say 235/40 front 255/35 rear?

ooh now you're getting way beyond the boundary of my technical knowledge lol

 

I think there is a member who has just put these wheels on their car, so they would be more use than me lol......

 

But having done a quick forum search I think they should be fine with same size tryes on the rear. No doubt one of the clever bods will prove me wrong lol

think the 350z had 225 front and 245 rears as Std.

Yes you can put wider tyres on the same size rims a 255 is ok on a 8" rim.Could do with 9" on the back really but 8" are fine.

Cheers Taff. Final question on this subject please. If I am now running with 8Js all round, what tyre size do I put on? Lets presume I am sticking with 225 front and 245 rear, what is the actual size of the rears ie: 245/40 or 245/35. If it had been a JAP import it would have been 40s alround but as it's UK I am unsure. Hope this all makes sense.
