Is the XXR 527 the widest 4 lug wheel commonly available? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Fred Allen Burge · 05-16-2011, 08:14 PM

The new XXR 527 at 17x9.75" in 4lug seems to be the widest commonly available 4 lug wheel for less than $200 per.

Is there anything else out there I'm missing that's WIDER than this?

Thanks,
Fred

He specified 4-lug. 4-lug, as it applies to 240s, is 4x114.3. 4-lug, as it applies to Mustangs, is 4x108.

If he we talking about 5-lug wheels, then yes, you'd be correct.

get some 17x12 work meisters! lol...

igreek · 05-16-2011, 10:03 PM

I doubt that they are the widest, but I have the 17x9.75s with a 265/40/17 out back and they look quite nice. For a cheaper wheel, the width is quite nice.

s14tan · 05-17-2011, 12:45 AM

Look into some FN01r's

At the age of thirty-one, you should be spending your money on finer things dear chap.

sqd · 05-17-2011, 05:21 AM

It has probably been asked before, but why do they make them 9.75" and not 9.5" or 10", like every other wheel manufacturer on the planet?

Found that on one of the sites that sells 527's.

It is probably a manufacturer mistake where they measured outside to outside of lip(aka 10inch), when they should have made them with the measurement inside to inside. costs too much to make another mold so they said fuxk it, sell it.

Csomme · 05-17-2011, 06:13 PM

^ Yeah bro, because they've never made a wheel before.

NINJASPY · 05-17-2011, 06:45 PM

Yeah bro^ people don't make mistakes. There is a standard. Its called inches and half/inch.

Razi · 05-17-2011, 06:47 PM

They did the weird sizes for "hellaflush" stretch or whatever they said in their description.
Pointless imo.

!Zar! · 05-17-2011, 07:07 PM

Someone probably just fucked up in the process of making them and they decided to go along with it.

The difference between a 9.75 and a 10" wheel is like 6~7mm.

That isn't going to do shit once you factor in how different brands widths vary.

If by "finer things" you mean more expensive brands of wheels I can easily afford the Works or a set of CCW's, it's not about what I can afford but rather what makes sense for this project. It's a 22 year old Nissan with pathetic resale value and zero rarity. I got it to put an LS1 in and drag race with the occasional trip to the store in the summer or local car show. For that I want some damn wide wheels in the back that are under $200, look decent, bolt on to my hubs and are easily replaced if bent.

Sounds half-retarded though, but maybe that's just me..
