i know u guys on here have been asked to death about wheel and tire size but here goes. my 82 has the stock 14x7 wheels on it. i want to go up to no bigger than 16 x 8. what size wheel can i go up to without adding spacers. just wanna put wheels and tires on and be able to drive.. thanks for the help ya'll.

 

Slim pickins for 16" 4x114.3 zero offset (or close to) wheels...

Check out the Rotas (FricFrac and Yasin are running 17" Rotas):

 

Got some 16x8cs on mine. XXRs. They're on eBay for around $400 for a set.

 

id change out my boyds for a set of those rotas. same specs as mine and all just look way more well placed on our cars imo. if only i had the cash for it, but one day i will do it.

 

that dont help me any

 

You saying "that don't help me any" doesn't help us help you any...

And we did help you... we just named several options for you.

You really have very few 16" choices, why 16 ? Motorsport! 16" Wheel Kits - The Z Store, Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

What are you trying to do with your car ? If you are looking for wheels in 16" without spacers, just give up now. Spacers are a fact of life with most 4 bolt wheels, at least the ones Ive looked at. The Rota's are the sweetest wheels for you car, might require a little fender rolling on the inner lip, but that's easy.
ROTA Wheels RB Stagger Package (Datsun 1975-1978 280Z, F: 17x9, R: 17x9.5) I dont think this is the best price you can get, another Z site has a group discount for members. Fricfrac mentioned it before.

 

As my original posts says, what's the biggest size wheel I can put on my car without spacers. I mean just buy and bolt em on

 

I guess you don't understand, there are no wheels for you without spacers, the Rota's are exactly what you are asking for, so since you don't get it, Id say give up on wheels without spacers.... it's basically Rota's or spacers or stock, stay as you are I guess, or evolve and get 17's.

 

Tthe question you asked on your original post is kinda vague. you ask for whats the largest WHEEL size you can go with but not going larger than 16 x 8 without using wheel spacers. well the answer to that is "16 x8" with the proper offset...

 

maybe he mean "TIRE" size?

 

thank u sir, any idea what the proper offset would b?

 

In case you missed the first reply in this thread...

and this one:

 

I have 15 x 8's on my Z, 225 50r 15's tires. (the one on my signature) And no wheel spacers needed for them. Just shop around, and I bet you will find something you are looking for. I got lucky when I found them. Somebody on here had them on another Z they picked up. I couldn't tell you the brand they are. Because I never could figure that part out. lol

I am planning to probably keep my original 14" 6 spoke wheels with new tires on my '83 when I get it running. Though the tire choices are pretty narrow. I could put 15" turbo wheels, but I don't want to have 2 Z's with the same wheels.

Anyway I am rambling, just look around and you will find something. Good luck man.

 

Try the Wantanabe 15x12's

 

thanks for the help ya'll, i found some 16x8s for lil over 500 new. think ill go with that and they are 0 offset so i think im good.

 

Pics? Brand?
