Wheel fitment question with 15x8 wheels (S13) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gogeeta13 · 10-22-2004, 08:34 AM

I need track wheels for my race car. I have found some 15x8s available. They come in these specs

Bolt Pattern: 4 on 4.25/4.5

Offset: 1 3/16" neg

Center Bore: 78.74 mm

Will they stick out like baaad? I can roll fenders and stuff, whatever is necessary if these will fit reasonably....

Will the larger center bore be a big issue? I can't find whether these wheels serve to be lug centric as well...

Thanks!

The center bore wont be an issue as long as you center the wheel when you install it. Also tighten the bolt with the wheel off the ground so it will stay center.

I have the exact same wheel on my car right now...I will have my friend post a pic of how it looks on his car. Prepare yourself.

OK. Patiently waiting, lol.

jonnnny23 · 10-22-2004, 04:41 PM

i have 15x8 +12s all around and they barely fit with rolling, so yours are gonna stick out about 40mm.

i have the same set of wheels for my Z 15x8 -30something offset and they stick out like an inch past my fenders. a little work with the fender roller i could get them to fit easy but im not tryin to fuck up the fenders so i think my next option is to just run insane amounts of camber bosozoku style!!

d r i f t swift · 10-22-2004, 09:51 PM

gogeeta13 · 10-23-2004, 02:34 PM

240silvia · 10-26-2004, 01:08 AM

They are out wayyyy to far for me.... I like mine feeeeelush. But, on a brighter note, I like how you took the tweed off of the doors.

adey · 10-26-2004, 01:42 AM

1 3/16" negative offset?? that's in the region of -32mm.
15*8 0 offset will fit on our cars with enough negative camber and fender rolling... but -32? You'll have some serious fender clearance issues unless you have wide fenders.

Var · 10-26-2004, 10:38 AM

That's perfect fitment. just get some fender flares and some camber and you're set.
