Zdriver123 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hey guys, After 10 years of going to school, building a yurt to live in, getting a career and getting married, I'm back to working on my Z. It's a 1980 280ZX 10 Anniversary edition. Here's where the problems hit. I'm trying to shoehorn wheels onto it. Mainly these: 16x10-51 I've been through Ian Pierri's thread when he had the 15x10 -41 wheels and I'm assuming these poke out another 10mm. I want to keep the body stock but with roll and pull of the fenders. My solution, install toe adjusters on the rear subframe and use Datsun 510 rear trailing arms. then adapt the hubs to 5x114.3. Question 1: what do I do about axles? 510 axles or something custom? Question 2: Brakes, can I use Z31 rear discs and calipers, or do I go custom? Question 3: What am I forgetting? Any input is much appreciated. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just get rims that actually fit. Rims should fit the car not the other way around. 3 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Get out the saws all and hack the shit out of it until they fit, then put on some kind of hideous flares to cover the hack job, or just get rims that fit :thumbup:. Welcome to Ratsun Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 510 rear control arelms will bring you're rear track width in about 1/2" a side. Quote Link to comment
