Snowflake wheels Help

[jbuenviaje]

Could someone tell me if they have the 280ZX snowflakes wheels installed on a 240Z? If so, what maximum size tires can/would fit? Because I want to use the 225/50/15..

[Zeelander]

I have 81.5 ZX turbo snowflakes on my 77 280Z.

Tire size I currently run is 195/65 hr. The snowflakes are 15 X 6 with a +12mm offset and 3.98 inch backspacing. Ride is nice, firm and responsive. Also running stock struts with Tokico performance springs.

225's are awfully wide for a 6" wheel. I'd recommend either 205/60 or 205/55 instead.

I run the snowflakes on my 77 280z. 185/65/15 front 255/60/15 rear. I needed to roll the rear fenders for clearence but that's about it. I use stock suspention, you can see how it looks on youtube under monster 280z. hope this helps.

That isn't what the OP asked:

If A = B; and B = C; doesn't A = C?

I too have them on my 280 and have had them on my 240. 205/60's work well. As posted, 225/60's are much to much for the wheel.

I have the swastika wheels as well and would also assume A=B...........

That may be but you're the first one to say that you've had them on a 240 which is what he asked. I had 2256014s on my 280 but that wouldn't lead me to conclude that they'd work on a 240.

[IdahoKidd]

I am sure there is some logic there but it absolutely defies me......

[sblake01]

I'm just saying that the fact that they fit a 280Z doesn't necessarily meant that they will fit a 240. Besides, he didn't ask who has them on a 280. I'm done:)

Point taken. I just happen to have a 73 240 that my son and i are bringing back to life soon, and yes they fit. At least the fronts do the rears will need the same fender rolling as my 280z. The two cars look to be very close dimentionaly. The bigest diference i can tell are the rear strut towers, but that dosn't look like it will be a problem.
