280chisel

These were all they would have for at least three months. too long for me to wait..

I got the rb's silver with the polished lip from 18racing and they look really nice! my car has stock suspension for now.

I have read all of the threads here and on hybrid z pertaining to this subject but I would still like to see a duplicate of the install I am doing. No matter what it takes I am willing to fit them in. I lined up a friend in the body business to roll my rear fenders for 100 bucks. and I already put a 240 air dam on it. If I have to get the coil overs I will but it would be nice if i can get away without it. I knew going into this that I would need some spacing. I have heard 20mm and that may be the right fit.. Another question, How low can I lower my car with coil overs? I would love to drop it down a bit.. Thanks for the input! Oh and my car is a 1976 280z that I have been putting 240 trim on. love those little bumpers!

So my wheels came in yesterday and I was doing some dry fitting. I will need a spacer for sure being that my wheels have a 20 mm offset. I am putting 7.5's on the front with 225/45/17's and the back will be 8.5's with 245/45/17's. My question is will the 245's fit back ther without coilovers? or should I just go with say a 235 or 225? I know some of this has been covered but this issue for me is still unclear and I want to go get some rubber on these things! also do any of you reccomend a 20mm spacer or 10mm for the rear? it is going to be close! Thanks for any advice! It is very helpful to have experienced people to go to for answers! Paul

I really do appreciate the help. I think I will wait for the wheels to get here and bolt them on to determine the fit and look I want, Then I will more than likely order a wheel adaptor made for the 240 sx and take it to a machine shop and have the bore opened up. Well at least I have a plan now. Not as simple as I hoped but it should work. Thanks!

Well I measured the bore on my stock rim and I found it to be 73 mm so no dice..

Thanks for the input! Do you think I can get away with a 71.6mm bore?

That is pretty cool that you can do that! No sweet tools like that in my garage..

Hello, I am new here, but have been lurking for about a month. Good site! I just ordered a set of rota rbsfor my 76 280. The fronts will be 17x7.5 the rears will be 17x8.5 . They will all have a 20mm offset. That was all they had left, sooo my question is where did some of you get your wheel spacers because I am having a very hard time findin any combos that will fit. The patterns may work but the hub bore is small. And if I find the right spacers now where can I purchse the longer studs? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!:classic:

Any chance of the dealer getting 240 bumpers?
