the past 2 weeks I've been on a spending spree.. buying all sorts of parts for my 82 ZXT. well last week i went and picked up the ROTA RBR's and just couldn't wait to see how they would look.. mind you they were suppose to go on the ZXT but i had to see how they would look and fit on my NA.. holy crap.. looks like i might have to buy another set..lol good thing ROTA is just down the street from where i live..

 

I like the styling.

BTW, everytime I waiver from my 280ZX project, I see your car and am reminded how I want it to look in the end.

 

Nice!!! Those fit the wheel well perfectly!

 

i want wheel specs!!!!!

 

Rota RBR"s went with the hyper black finish
Front:
17" x 9" 13mm offset - tires are yokohama SDrives 235/45/17

Rear:
17" x 9.5" 19mm offset - tires 255/45/17

i had to roll the fenders to get them to fit.. but daymn they look hot!

 

waaaaaaaaaaaaay better! HAWT!

 

hey you are in chicago^^^ any chance you are part of chicagoZ.com? if not you should join. also the specs are on the rota site 17x9 -13 offset front and 17x9.5 -19 for the rear

edit: damn you guys beating me to it. now my arrows mean nothing

 

I've got the same setup in hyper black but 9.5" all the way around with 235/255. S-Drives for the win - thanks for the pointer from Yasin on those guys. Yasin's running the same wheels but 255/275 and it looks amazing. I have a set of 255/275 S-Drives sitting in the shed once I've got the bushing in to bring the rear wheel to the center of the wheel well and stiffen everything up....

 

these wheels were suppose to go on my ZXT project but i think ill get another set for it.. i wasnt sure if the 9.5 would fit up front but after seeing your car FricFrac, looks like ill be doing the same setup... which bushing kit did you get for your rears to center the wheels on the wheel well.. i had to massage my rear fender lip in the back cuz it was still rubbing on the front edge near the door..

 

yup, i'm a member there.




thanks for the specs fellas. fitment is amazing right there.

 

Very nice. And we'd thought your car couldn't look better

 

I don't have the bushing in yet - once I do I can fit the 275 in the rear. Slownrusty is running his with 275's but I'm a little leary with how far forward the wheel sits stock. Front and rears are rolled. Lol - I started with rears so moving to the front's was a treat

The sub frame bushing is offset so what JeffP did with his car is machine a set of bushings up without the offset which pulls the whole sub frame back about 3/4"

Looks like I'll be machining some subframe bushings next week at work. I'm just wondering if I do move the subframe back 3/4 of an inch, if it's going to affect tue driveshaft. Would I have to get it extended 3/4" as well.

 

wow dang that looks good. makes me want to sell my big rims to get those.

 

Man ice those wheels are sick! And I am not a fan of wheels in that size. But they really flow good with the Z. You are tempting me to get those. lol
