INDY510 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 better to go with 195/45 in the front, IMO, for clearance ... I had 195/40's in the above pics 16x7 +0 will fit good on 280zx struts, but 16x8 +10 will hit the struts, you would need at least +12mm spacers... but then the wheels would poke too much in the front ... 8's are too wide for the front of a 510, and they make the stock steering feel dangerous Quote Link to comment
housew Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 much appreciated indy your advice has been helping me a LOT 16x7+0 it will be in the front. I obviously haven't done it, but I was really hoping for 195/50 just cause there are roughly 5x the tire selection in that size than 195/45, and 195/45 would limit me to more expensive tires or all seasons. The difference is ~3/8" in radius which is pretty significant. a 195/50 or 45 isn't going to be stretched on a 16x7 anyways, so the extra 3/8 would be straight up, where would it be rubbing? I'm not married to the 16s either. I think I prefer the 16s, but could I get away with 15x8+12 with 205/50r15 in the back and 15x+0 with 195/50r15s in the front. Should be about the same outer diameters, widths, and offsets, just less clearance for brakes/steering/control arms. I currently have 14x6+12s so I know the brake clearance should be fine, but the 15x8+12s will stick in an inch further in the back (I can measure tonight) Quote Link to comment
