INDY510 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 This is your last Warning Mike!!!! .. <_< .... . you need to welcome the noobs ,,,,, :lol: you will need between 25mm-10mm spacers on the front depending on 280zx struts or 510 struts I would reccomend 16's ........ and if you like the "stock camber" look ........ then get a some wider rear wheels These are 16x9 -13 rear 225/45/16 ........... and 16x8 +12 front 215/40/16 ... with 1/2" spacers .... .. . I wish my 2dr was a coupe .... :unsure: Quote Link to comment

71DIMER Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Oh man don't go 17's that's TOO BIG I think...heck I'm on 16's on my 2 door and 15's on my wagon. I think the 15's are real nice size for a 510. 17's will make your 510 look like those DONK style cars you see around today! Quote Link to comment

I think the 15's are real nice size for a 510. 17's will make your 510 look like those DONK style cars you see around today! so my car would be considered a DONK??? LOL 18x8 with a 215-35-18s I do agree that smaller wheels do look better 14"-16" wheels do look best on 510s. 16s would be the biggist I think I would go with BRE style flares Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 DONK DONK DONK...hahaha...JK buddy. Well it also depends on the drop, the ones I've seen in person look donked out! At least they don't look like this! You'res are alright buddy...barely...JK! LOL P.S. My 17" Panasports would look killer on your car, we'll have to put them on to see how they look for sure!

INDY510 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 . It would look cool with: (17x8.5 rear) and (16x8 +10 front) with 1/2" spacers ..... . both those sizes are availible as a Rota RB Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 oics or there is no bre flared car :blink: Quote Link to comment
newtype77 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 It's setup w/ the Z struts - trying to go to for flushed look. 17x8.5 Rota RB-R's have a bigger lips then the 16's. So 25mm spacer's for the front? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I needed a 1/2" spacer to clear 510 struts with coilovers ,, and another 6-7mm to lower the coilovers that low .... 16x8 +12 ... 215/40/16 ... 17" rims might hit the coilover perch more ... . . you might need between 15mm to 25mm ..... but I have never seen a 17" rim on a 280zx strut With all those spacers, the tires will be hitting your flares in the front. and the back wheels will tucked in too far ... stock 510 steering doesn't like big front wheels Quote Link to comment
