Wheels

[FairladyZS30]

hey fellow Z owners....and 240k owners as well

anyways i got some new wheels for the Z

ARE 3pc mesh 16x7, but what my question is really, can i go some where and purchase a wider dish something that would get me a lil wider?

second question is what shop is most likely to change wheels studs or is there an easier way to take them off with out having the hub pressed out?

You should be able to swap studs easily. In the rear, just remove the drum, spin on a lug so it's almost flush with the tip and give it a smack. I should pop out. The only problem I foresee is if the replacement studs are longer than stock. Then it might not go in as easily as the stock stud came out.

Seating the new ones is as easy as bolting down a lug nut til the stud seats.

Done it a couple of times,

On the rear, you'll need to remove the hub to install longer studs. Not enough room between the hub flange and the backing plate to maneuver longer studs in.

As for widening the rims (if I understand what you are asking), that may not be possible at all, as many of those three piece wheels were welded in addition to being bolted. Even if they were bolted only, replacing the outer rim with a wider one will be difficult to get done, other than at a specialty rim shop that caters to racing, most likely. It will also probably cost you more than the rims did.

What offset are those? They look like a positive offset (FWD) to me.

yeah i was told that they would be hard to retrieve the lips, but i guess im just gonna go with the stock stud but just get a wheels adapter for it
