Posted February 21, 200718 yr comment_200087 Hey all, I am looking at the Konig 'Netz' 17x7 Wheel that is designed to fit the '72. This car is dropped about 1-2 inches from what I can tell. Are these gonna fit with no mods to clear the sheet metal, espically when working the car? I love the look of these... ~Brian Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23379-konig-17s-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 22, 200718 yr comment_200167 You should have no problem with the 17" rims. Konig makes their rims for the early Z's so that they are a direct bolt on. That is the reason they only make a 7" width. But make sure to use the right tire with that size rim.

February 22, 200718 yr Author comment_200169 I am told that there are adaptors that are needed. What I have found out is that is basically makes the wheel flush(er) with the car but still is tucked inside the wheel well.Thoughts?

February 22, 200718 yr comment_200194 I made a mistake. The rims you are talking about will need spacers.I was thinking of the two new rims that Konig makes for the early Z's. One comes in 15x7 and the other comes in 15x7 and 16x7. Both have a "0" offset. One is called the Maxxim 4 Play and the other is the Maxxim Screech. Sorry about that.Spacers are ok to use as well. Modern Motorsports makes a very good set. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23379-konig-17s-question/#findComment-200194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 22, 200718 yr comment_200196 Not sure if MM makes the 4 to 5 lug conversion spacers, but you should be able to contact them to find out.Here is the website: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/default.php Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23379-konig-17s-question/#findComment-200196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 22, 200718 yr comment_200200 I appreciate the advice Sir...And by spacers you mean the adaptors needed for the 5 lug, correct?Thanks again...The spacers are similar to the 5 lug adapters, but don't change the bolt pattern or number of lugs. They are designed to allow the use of commonly available 4-4.5 FWD wheels (a la Honda) on older RWD cars.

February 22, 200718 yr comment_200213 Brian. Just like Arne said. I got an example of my konings wheels i got from MSA. The set comes complete with nuts and spacers but this is a four bolt pattern.
