Off set

[deejay]

I was just wondering on how much off set u need to clear zx calipers

And how wide of a wheel u can run with out rubbing with no fender flares

13,14,15 In wheels I know my stock lebras won't fit over the zx but there 13's

You can modify the 280ZX caliper mount by grounding off an "ear" on both sides of the mount to gain enough clearance for some 13" wheels. This modification ussually provides enough clearance, without hurting the structural integrity of the bracket.

Shouldnt have problems with offset and calipers.

 

You will have problems with offset and hitting the strut tube, or having massive poke.

 

I think the max offset allowed on ZX struts is like a 7 inch wide wheel with +20 offset.

 

But I would say, go learn about offset/backspacing. Your question is overly broad, and offset will change with wheel width.

The figure you need to worry about calipers is the "Caliper Height" which is not the tallness, but how far the caliper sticks out.

This is actually about the wheel shape, not the offset

O ok thanks for the info I just have a bunch of 13s laying around would prefer the fitting of 14s or 15 but it's nice to know before you buy
