BJW's FiveTen's Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ok so Im running 280zx/810 front struts with z31 vented rotors and toyota v6 4x4 caliper. Coilovers out Back, Slotted X member. Would like to know if 16x7+22 Rota Rb up front with a 205/40-16 and a 16x8+10 out back with 215/40-16 with stock fenders, Planing on rolling them but do not want flares. I have some Weds Southern ways Mesh 16x7 and 7.5 but they came off an S30 and I would need flares or super stretch tires and still dont like the look. Need an S30 But thats a long ways away. Can I do this with out super neg camber and not hacking up the car too much? Running a KA-t with JWT management and should make approx 225-250whp so am trying to get as much tire as I can with out flaring the fenders. Any Ideas or whatother have run pic's etc Thank you Bryce Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The rear will need to be rolled alot 16x8 +25 would clear easyer Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I found a 16x8+20 so that would make my life easier in the rear for fitment. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes but you will still need to roll Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 wont he have to trim the lip off of his control arm . Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 wont he have to trim the lip off of his control arm . It would assume so... Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 On a plus 30 I had to barly trim the control arm, just the seam a bit not anything close to the pic above Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, that's a decent notch and not a seam trim... It was more for what would need to be done to fit his first size rears. The difference between his newly found +20s and the +30s you're running is nearly a quarter in of depth. So if you only had to trim, he going to have to notch .25in deeper than you went.

DISLEXICDIME Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 depending on side wall of tire Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Correct. I assumed straight sidewall due OP mentioning he didn't want stretch... Maybe he's ok with some and that will make it easier. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 +30 is more inwards than +20 it will be 10mm further out than mine so less trimming 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't know what the fuck I was thinking... I think graveyard shift is getting to me. You're 100% correct. Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Looks like if I want to run the 16x8 Rota RB its onlt avail in a +4 or +10 so we will see. Any one got a 16x8 +10 on a non flared dime/ If so let me know and post a pic or two or let me know what it took to fit them Thanks Bryce Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 . It took mad camber ..... 16x8 +10 with 215/40's ....... stock camber ..... rubs on 4dr rear lip "bump" Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hey indy, does just tire rub or wheel to? im thinking about 14x8s with a 195 45 tire, but dont wanna mess up new wheels if i go plus 10 Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks Indy. Im running a 2dr and was going to rework the lip and ridge that runs inside the fender lip and move it outwards some. Good to know they will fit, even if it requres some metal work. Are those Panasports? Thanks Bryce Quote Link to comment

housew Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 old post but this is what im working on. Hopefully picking up some 16x8+10 rotas in the next coupla weeks, rolling my fenders, adjusting camber (if i need to) and trying to shove them in there. Im pretty amped up by it. Indy, your car is an inspiration. Quote Link to comment
yellow510 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 here's another car that's done 16x7 and 16x8s... http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/03/vtec-just-kicked-datsun-yo/ Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 16x7.5 +25 with 195/40 tires, needed a 5mm spacer to clear 510 struts ... this is with 3/8" front spacers (some poke) .... and the same 16x8 +10 215/40 panasports in the back ... just not nearly as low as the red 4dr Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 16x7 +22 fits 510 struts perfect, but needs spacers to clear 280zx struts ... a 16x7 +0 would be okay on 280zx struts, but poke out too much with 510 struts (280zx struts can fit a 3/4" lower offset on each side) this is 16x7 +0 with 195/40, and the most neg. camber I can get out of DP camber plates, rubs so bad on rolled front fenders (not even driveable) Quote Link to comment
housew Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 alright so I have a new discovery. I have 280zx struts. indy, your saying. 16x7+0 with 195/40 Rub to an undriveable extent on stock 510 struts but 16x7+0 with 195/40s are "okay" on 280zx struts? I was hoping to run 16x7+0 with 195/50 with 280zx struts and rolled fenders. Sound like it would work? so new plan 16x8+12 with 205/45r16 rear, and 16x7+0 with 195/50/16 front pretty much no chance of fitting 8" wide rims in the front? There are still some 16x8+10s for sale local. They would only have 3mm more poke than a 16x7+0, but they would stick in another 22mm which I don't think it could handle. Quote Link to comment
