lend a wheel?
Anyone in the lower mainland have a 15x7 +25 rim the could lend out for fitment? i have cold beer. want to see if i can squeeze a 15x7 in stock rear fender that has lite lip trimming, and byrons brackets.
its not the having. its the doing...
Re: lend a wheel?
15x6 +10, aka 280zx snowflake rim will be about 2.5mm further out than that if that helps you out with the search...
You will almost for certain not be able to run wider than 195 tires with reasonable camber. 195/45 pictured below. Rolled lips. Rear mounting face of rims shaved ~3mm to increase offset. These rims are Mandeeps and fit on his unflared 2 door with practical camber (same tires).
If you haven't done your brackets yet, you can move the ears in 4mm each side without causing bottoming of the stock halfshafts which helps with wheel clearance.
What size tires are you planning?
Hope that helps a bit?
15x7+25 is nearly perfect to fit in the rear of a 510. And the front given that you have s12/510/m30 type struts (not 280zx).

Hey Dan. I have a set 15x7/7.5 +15 you can try out. They are wrapped in 195/50-15
Re: lend a wheel?
thanks. talked it over with my son, and he wants the old style look of the libre, and retro 4 doesn't make a 15x7 with enough pos. offset to fit. so we are ordering 15x6 +24mm. and will run a spacer on the front to clear 280 struts. that way we can still rotate tires easily. i tried a snowflake rim ['81.5 turbo 280] and it(15x6 +12mm) will not clear with corrected camber, so a (15x7 +25mm) with 195/50/15 would be doughtful.
Thanks anyway Five'...
