chumstone Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'd like to get some different ideas for wheels for my wagon from you all. I know nothing about offsets and etc so any help would be appreaciated. I think I have 17" rims on there now. I'll check and get back here. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Is it still 4 lug? Quote Link to comment
ssfwgn Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 My wagon has 16x7 +30 with a 1/4 inch spacer front and 16x8 +38 with a 1/8 spacer rear. thats with stock struts and unmodified fenders. If you have coilovers in the front it might make a difference. My buddie just stuffed 20s under his wagon if you want to go in that direction. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think that i would try to stuff the 5 spoke wheels from a 350z track edition under there. I cant remember if they are 17 or 18", and they are 5 lug wheels so it would take some work, but i think it would look really good. Jason Quote Link to comment

shane_lxi Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I like 15" or 16" wheels on older cars personally, but that's just me. Check out takumiproject.com or rbmotoring.com . They have lots of used classic and newer JDM wheels in good shape (or they can restore them if they arent). Check them out :D. These would be sick if you have the cash. Pretty rare :D. 15x7 +19, 15x7.5 +19 (should be a pretty good offset for stock fenders) Quote Link to comment
chumstone Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 OH YEA! those look great!! I believe Ray recommended those also in another post. A couple of things I did not metion were the coilovers in the front with some kind of wheel adapter that Hector got for the wheels that are on now, and not sure about offsets for the rears. Can anybody inform me of how offsets are determined? Quote Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Here, I made a little easy-to-follow faq on another forum I am on: http://nissanpacific.com/forum/Offset-backspacing-faq-t1126.html When you say adapter, is it like an aluminum disc that bolts onto the hub, and has it's own studs? If so, it's a spacer, and if you get the right offset wheels, you dont need them :D. Quote Link to comment
chumstone Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 yea, bolt onto the hub with their own studs. Damn, I forgot to metion Wilwood brakes! Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
