?-Question regarding rims for 510

[jefe de jefes]

From the info I have gathered , The wheels in the following link will only fit a 510(stock fendered) that has 280z struts up front correct?

 

I'd like to run some 16's on my 4 door. Looks like I have stock struts with cut stock coils.

you are going to need a good bit of camber as well front and rear under stock fenders so factor that in. Not going to fit with 280zx or stock without lots of camber :)

Thanks for the reply.

I'm on the hunt for some wheels that will fit my lowered dime without mods for now.

Look for something with an offset of +15 to +20 give or take. Because of the shape of the rear arms it's not easy to say exactly what fits given the changes in diameter and offset of wheels. I can tell you 16x8 +38 will require shaving some off the rear arm, but will otherwise fit. 16x7 +33 will fit on S12 200sx front struts dependent on where the spring perch ends up. Here's a pic of that:

Dude,,, those wheels will never fit a stock fendered 510

 

This is a pic of 16x8 zero offset wheels, and the tires are about 1mm from the stock 510 struts

 

This pic is 16x7 Rota rb's with +22mm offset

 

So yeah do some more research,,, because 16x8 wheels will NEVER fit in the front of a non-flared 510, no matter what offset

[jefe de jefes]

Well , I just picked up the 510 on Friday so I have yet to get deep into the front strut info. Looks like i'll need to do the swap regardless if I want to run some of the bigger wheels.

280zx struts will not help,,, you will still need 16x7 with +22mm offset

That's exactly the look i'm shooting for.

Is that your ride?

"16x7 Rota rb's with +22mm offset" <<-- Is that the same for front and rears?

I'm also guessing that has the 280z front strut swap with coilovers correct?

Thanks for the pics.I somewhat have an idea of the direction I have to take..

Time for some heavy reading. I think I saw a thread by mklotz regarding strut modding.

Ok , wheels don't need to be 8" in width .I was just using the CL posting as a starting/reference point. Actually the pic of the dime w/16x7 is exactly what I am looking to do.

[chumstone]

Well I'm now confused. I have 280 ZX struts with coilovers and 15x7 wheels with +15 offset and they hit the struts. Now someone says that 16x7 with +22 offset fit great. I wonder if there is any difference between 2 doors and wagon strut locations? Thanks.

[jefe de jefes]

you think your confused?LOL

I'm just geting started.

+22 brings the wheel even closer to the strut then a +15 does.

i run small spacers up front and i have those wheels posted at the beginning of the post mine are 16x7 +15 and i have 280zx struts.

The bigger the diameter the more clearance you'll have since the strut gets farther away from the wheel the higher up you go.

Thanks!

Looks good!

What size tires you running?

[Cuts metal like mad]

no way to fit 16x8 huh? Never say never... There's a 510 on here somewhere (too lazy to look for it), it's running 16x8 0et under stock fenders, tucking...

Yup. Look up " layedoutb2k ".

I think it belongs to his Pop's.

That car is what made me decide to pick up a dime.

Thanks again. Your ride looks like mine, without the wheels of course.

16x7 on all four corners right? Did you roll your fenders?

[oregondime]

yea 16x7 205's all corners unfortunately they dont make any other different sizes for a 16"
