17x10 +25 won't fit up front
I'm 17x10 +18 and I'm extremely close as for rear use wheel offset calculator +25 would probably be better considering your fenders are already pulled

stock S13 front fenders... 17x10 +25, 275/40 V710's Needless to say, I sold off the wheels, more work than I wanted to do to make this setup fit. |

Typically I've been running 17x9 +35 with 275/40 RA-1's for track days. I use a 5mm spacer, but probably only need a 2mm spacer if that for tire/coilover clearance. Look back through this thread to find my full writeup... |

^^^Soooooo fucking sexy, I want a z-32!
My new set-up. 17x9 +12 gram lights 57 maximum with 255/40/17 falken azenis rt-615's (still ). The car needs an alignment as I lowered it another 3/8" but the camber is somewhere around 3-3.5* front and 2.5-3* rear right now. I plan on running 3* front and 1.5* rear camber once I get it aligned with 0 front toe and 1/16 rear toe in. |

I dropped by Touge Factory today and saw some of their special edition black NT03+Ms and RPF1s...so good looking. Props to everyone with big Enkeis on their car...good looks and light weight on the (pretty) cheap. |

If 2 is better than 1, then 4 is better than 2 :P
Blah 2 seaters suck. Too short a wheelbase. Look in Japan, all the raced out Z32s are 2+2s. Quote:
2+2s are around 3400-3500. |

^^^^^^
Not meaning to start an arguement... Optimal wheel base depends on what kind of racing the car is used for; a shorter wheel base would be better for autox and small courses, where as the 2+2 would probably be better for larger, higher speed courses. wheel bases: 2 seater: 96.5 in. 2+2: 101.2 in. ^(I really doubt 5in. makes that much difference for general driving purposes) As far as curb weights go, the tt's are a bit heavier (due to turbo's, hicas) at about 3500 lbs. Nissan 300ZX (Z32) Performance Statistics Regardless, a car can still handle well despite extra weight (new GT-R for example, 3800 lbs.?). That being said, less weight is usually better. In the end, it all comes down to which one fits you better as far as performance needs go or which one looks better to you. Personally, Function > Form.

Granted, the shorter wheelbase is nice for autocrosses, but IMO, the 2+2 is the more ideal chassis for the majority of driving events, such as road racing and drifting. Has a more neutral feel to it, while the 2+0 has the natural tendency to snap. |

Interesting, I've driven a z32 2 seater a little (both as n/a and tt), now I'm curious to see how a 2+2 drives... Good to know.
Very nice z by the way. A question for JRas: How close is your wheel/tire to the coilover in the front? If you have a picture... Just considering wheel options for a project and the 10" rpf1's were some I was looking at. -Thanks

18x11+6
18x13+16 [/quote] Great color, awesome rims, subtle body kit - that's s14 I'd like to see on my driveway. What rims are these, they definitely make this car shine. |
