wheel opinions

[xtce]

I'm going to check out some used wheels someone is selling locally for cheap on craigslist. I"m leaning towards the set that looks like snowflakes or the non-gold ones. any suggestions? here's the link below.

The offset doesn't look right from those photo's. Ask him what the offset is before going any further.

I'll check it out, hopefully they will fit. he says he use to have a 510 and also a 300zx. thanks for the advice. just found this helpful link searching the forums, looks like the rims are from a mid 80's corolla.

Hmmm...doubtful any of them were used on a 300ZX. The 300's were equipped with 5 lug wheels. Maybe he meant a 280ZX?

I thought there were 4 lug 300ZX's. I'm pretty sure the 84 had them.

I ended up getting the snowflake design. He had them on a 510. the specs are:14X5.5 4X114.3 +27 offset, their alot lighter than my iron cross rims.

You still have an offset issue. You should be using between zero and maybe +10 at most. As a 5.5" wide rim, they will be tucked way in with +27 offset.

If there was any 300 that did, it may heve been the first year. I'll look into this.

You learn something new everyday. I did some looking and there is photographic evidence of the 4-lug on the 84 300. My bad. Sometimes I am suspicious of the knowledge of sellers as they have claimed a lot of things from my experience.

A zero offset is the factory standard.

All 84 and 85 non-turbos came with 4 lugs, with turbos getting 5 lugs. 5 lug became standard in 86.
