hello all. i am selling a 72 240z that i cannot keep. i bought it from the second owner recently, but have no room for this one. you would be the third owner of this 72 240z. it was the daily driver and pride and joy of the first and second owners until the unfortunate t-bone. i had two estimates run on the car, and the prices i got were 1700 and 2000 to fix the quarterpanel and frame damage. a new paint job, and some interior clean up will give you a really strong running early model 240z. there are a lot of cars out there with tons of rust and bondo. if you check out this car, you will be shocked to see how clean the body is with the exception of the parts affected in the accident. i have learned from experience. do not buy a rust-bucket covered in a new paintjob. it only leads to spending more money down the road. there is no structural rust anywhere on the car. the car is available for viewing in glendale, and needs to be towed, preferably on a flatbed to your location after purchase. i have the title, which is still clean, and all necessary documents for transfer. view a few more pics in full size at: www.orbisquadra.com/240z.htm

thanks for writing. the imsa flare kit (can be seen at zcarparts.com) in the rear is supposed to be able to accomodate up to a 12" wide rear wheel. so 18" by 10" wide ought not be a problem. i was just curious as to whether or not anyone had done it yet, and if they had any input. so it seems that because of the plus sizing of the tire, but the reduction of the sidewall, ought to make it work, but in real life, we all know that ought to, and actually working are worlds apart. any other thoughts on the matter? also, how much do people think their 14" and 15" wheels weigh anyway? i would guess nearly 20 pounds anyway, since they are cast, and of an older generation of fabrication technique.

truth be told, 17 is no larger than i would want to go. on the wheels, and thusly have a slightly meatier tire. i was offered a set of 18 wheels, forged and about 20-21 lbs each (so fairly light, for the size (18x8, 18x10)), so i had brought it up in this forum to wonder about actual fitment. the backspacing is slightly more than 5" per wheel, and since my car is already at the shop, adding flares wouldn't be tremendously hard to do. so the question remains: if the brake work has been done, a 5 lug setup is utilized, and the shocks are already coilover, does anyone think it will not fit? keeping in mind the original 24.7" OD of the 195-70-14 tire. the questions is not why? but rather will it fit? whether or not it happens is another story altogether. but on an aside, plenty of people run 17" wheels. 18" is not a tremendous leap by any means. if one is running an rb26dett, common sense and all thought of financial sensibility has been tossed out the window anyway. so please help me find out the factual information of the feasibility of running the above 18" sized wheels.

has anyone tired mounting 18x8, 18x10 wheels on a 5 lug z, coilover sus, and flared? tire size is 225 35 18 front, 285 30 18 rear, and calculating the height results in: 24.20" front OD, and 24.73" rear OD, well within the 24.75" stock height on the 195 70 14s, but nearly twice as wide (at least in the rear). any comments? is it possible? please email me: s5fc3s@yahoo.com
