How thick is your spacer? Did you use the spacer with your previous wheels? 

The lower valence has some adjustment. Have you tried loosening that side to see if it will move forward?

(We see quite a few Z's with this issue when owners are changing wheels and tires... I had this issue when I first mounted my sons Rota Grids on Goldie. -> airdam)

I agree with cgsheen1......there is some adjustment in the front lower valence. Most everyone that installs wider wheels will run into this issue. Just futz with the adjustment till you get max clearance.....I think this will solve your issue.

Thanks Guys.   I'm about to tackle that now.  Looking for bolts under the Ziebart

[Rio24]

Thanks guys.  Adjusted valence and now enough room to drive.   Still very close but good enough for now.  Went for a drive and got back and smell fuel from under the hood.  Rub my hand underneath carb. Found carb leaking where meets intake.   Who wants to buy a 240Z?!

It's probably either this hose: https://zcardepot.com/products/float-bowl-fuel-line-hose-su-carburetor-oem-240z?_pos=4&_sid=e55a805fa&_ss=r

or a stuck float. There's no need to give up.

Tap on the carb with something solid.  I've fixed stuck boat carb floats with a closed pocket knife.  Tap, tap ,tap. A heavy wrench is good.

Would the choke mech leak if float value was stuck?  Its wet  If I touch underneath at carb/intake spacer.   Not leaking out of air horns. What you guys think

[Zed Head]

Sorrry.  CarbS   plural.  Even better, they're so exposed.  Not kidding, the float needles or the floats themselves get stuck.  It's just a fact of floats.

The carb guys know more about the choke mechanics on those carbs.  Sometimes, "choke" means different things on different carbs.

Sorry, I didn't know you had triples. It's definitely not the float bowl hose.  That's only for SU carburetors. I am still thinking stuck float. Pull the plugs for the cylinders associated with that carburetor and see if they have a strong smell of gas.

Ok.  Thanks Steve
