Offset help

[71240z916]

Hi I'm new to the z so i need some help on my offset.

I'm going either 16, or 17 inch wheels and need a perfect offset for my 240 z. I want the deepdish look so meaning the deepest offset that I could get for my z please help me out here anyone. :stupid:

[ezzzzzzz]

By default the offset is on a Z is 0. Nearly any wheel with that offset will have nice deep look. Do a search on wheels and be prepared to be in awe. Like most stuff, it only takes money and time to acheive your heart's desire..

Thanks for your help now would anyone think that 17-8 is to big for z. Or would it look funny. It seem like everyone use 15, or 16 inch rims but i saw this z in superstreet that it looks nice. Give me some opion on this because I dont want to make a big mastike.

here is the website and also know is this the color of the datsun red orange paint code 110 color:stupid:

I would stay with a 7" wheel in a 17 or 16. 8" is possible in a 15 but I think the edge of the wheel sits too far out, it will not hit the fender and should be fine with a 225/50/15 tire, the problem is purely cosmetic. If you want a big deep wheel go with fender flares and run a 17x9 with a -12 offset.

Do have to do any cutting to add flares?

For tires sizes that really need flares, yes you do need to cut the fenders. Some people put on flares only for the look. If you have coilovers you can get an additional 1" of rim under the car before having to use flares.

So what would the best for me 17'' or 16'' and offset with no flares and the bggest offset that i could get? my car is lower with 1 1/2 ich drop with coilovers?

16 or 17 x 8" with negative 1/2" (13mm) offset. You also need to find an available tire size with the desired overall diameter to meet your desires. A 245mm tire fits nicely on a 8" rim, 24.7" is the stock tire diameter, you could go smaller, but your speedometer will read incorrectly unless you change the speedo gear and then there are other things that may influence your decision like ground clearance, top end speed, tire to fender clearance, sidewall height, etc.

he thanks for your reply

what rims are thoseyou have in your blue z? It looks very clean what size, width, offset, tire size and offset are those. Thinking of getting the same set

First off this setup requires rear flares and substantial negative camber to fit in the front without flaring (which is is okay for me because I race this Z). The stock front fender lips are rolled too.

The rims are made by Complete Custom Wheels, 17x9.5 on all four corners, .25" negative offset with 255/40-17 tires. You can probably get away with a 9" rim, 0" offset with the same tire and it would be fine. You can also get the rims anodized now.

HEY THANKS FOR REPLYING BACK. SO YOU SAY 17 BY 9'' WOLUD FIT RIGHT INTO THE Z WITHOUT ANY FLARES? .

IM THINKING OF 17'' BY 9'' IN THE REAR WITH 235/40-17, AND

17'' BY 8 OR 8.5 IN THE FRONT WITH 215 OR 225/40-17.

DO I NEED TO PUT ANY SPACER ON IT?

AND WHERE CAN I GET A HOLD ON THOSE RIMS YOU GOT CAUSE THEY LOOK VERY NICE. SORRY FOR ASKING ALOT OF QUESITION BUT THATS WHAT IM HERE FOR TO ASK, AND HELP WITH ANY OF MY KNOWLEDGE…..:nervous:
