S-13 Rims do fit Zs
 

On the weekend i put on some S-13 Silvia (240SX 88 - 93 model) rims on my 260Z and they fit fine offset wise.... just thought you all might like to know....

Re: S-13 Rims do fit Zs

Re: S-13 Rims do fit Zs

I thought that they where 16s ? but they are ugly anyway and you wouldnt want to use them .... its more the point that u can go to a wheel and tyre dealer and say i want rims to fit an S-13 and instead of them saying yeah we have 1 pair they will say yeah we have heaps !

Is the offset the same? What is the widest you could go before you hit the strut? I was thinking 7 up from and 8 in the back.

Huh? Not even close, offset must be more than an inch off. I tried (even though I KNEW it wouldn't work) to put my z race tires (14x7, 225/50ZR14s) on my '89 240SX. The tires stuck out WAY beyond the fenders. You sure you don't have spacers bolted onto your Z's hubs? My 240SX wheels would interfere with the struts on my Z in a big way.

I am going with Dan on this one. All the databases I have looked at list the US Spec S13 ( 240SX) at a + 40mm offset.
That makes it around 1 1/2 " . I did pull a set of Z wheels off a
200SX once . They seemed to fir okay but they were 14 " x 6"
turbo wheels with a +10 offset.

aahh ok then well teh japanese S-13 silvia must have a different offset because i had a 15x 7" silvia rim bolted onto a 260Z 2 seater ..... and i know what spacers are and no it doesnt have them ..... they are illegal in the state i live in in australia

These rims were they the K (wide spoke) or Q (flat with like 20 billion circles on the edges) style rims? I'm guessing the rims you tried out were stock right? Just like most people in the U.S. I tried this. They're too much of a postive offset. I know the Q rims aren't here, well I haven't seen them yet. I'm not sure what is on the 240SX here, but I know the wheels won't fit. Be there, then that.

I wasnt there when Loki fitted them up, but I know of several ppl with S13 Q's and the wheel offset is about 0. Not sure about K's.
