Watanabe's from Japan - took almost 5 months to get them from the time I ordered them until they finally got though customs and got shipped to me.

For non-vintage events, original BSR wheels with Hoosiers (Scotty Sharp was the last person to run them before I got them), 15X7s BSR w/Toyo RA1s for vintage (dry) and the white panasports w/RA1s (wet).

At least two of these sets will get a work-out this coming week. Instructing on Wednesday (Hoosiers) and then the VRG event at Thompson, CT which looks like no rain in the forecast (6/23-25).

Four 240Zs have signed up, along with 911s, Alfas and a very sorted out 142 Volvo.

Well these aren't my wheels but since I'm in the market for new wheels and happened to be at the big ZCON car show in Toronto today I thought I would share some of the selection I saw today.

Hi all....I believe you can fit a broad choise of wheels/tires to fit your 240Z. (Take a look at my set-up, 240ZX photo album), these are 17x8 front & 17x9 rear with 215-40 front & 235-40 rear within stock body. What i did was calculate, this does take some work, width vs offset and researching tire sized and finally coming to the a result of width thick spacer is required to allow the combination to work without problems. For my set-up I also had to install longer studs as the studs pass through the spaces. If you have the passion for a non standard set-up, it is possible. OK, there are limits! Note: my struts have been shortened and I have adjustable camber plates. As always, this is a contiual improvement process. I am working on the front end to reduce bump stering.....not bad but want better. HYBRIDZ has tons of info about how to achieve this effort. I have a front crossmember with relocated lower control arm pivot points and will install adjustable length control arms. Always something to mod!!!

Hey @Travel'n Man, what are the specs for this setup?  Wheels and tires if you could, thanks.

@Mike - the wheels are Watanabe's.  Fronts are 15X7 I believe 1+offset.  Rears are 15x7.5 1+ offset.  I tried to get as close to ZERO offset as I could.  On my original order I requested Semi-Gloss but once I got them 3 months later it was just a little too much gloss for me.  I sent them to my local powder-coater and had them done if flat black.  The picture above is semi-gloss.  Due to the big brake calipers I do have to run a spacer in the front (it's about 1/2" give or take)  - they are 205x15's.  The rears have no spacers and they are 225/15.  Hope that helps  - let me know if you need exact detail on the spacers and tires sizes.  Be happy to supply if needed.  The below pictures are of the re-powder coat flat black - same color as the rear panel and rear shade.  Still have my old wheels just in case I want to change the look at any time.
