i've got 205/65/15's on my snowflakes. they look like huge A/T's. Rally anyone?

 

i have 225/55r14's on my rear's and 195/55r14's on the front

 

plus what kind of stock rims?? there were a few options what do you have?

 

225/60/14's are generally the largest you can go on the stock 14" wheels, regardless of which style.

In my opinion, they don't look right. I would prefer a 5x series. 215/5x/14 is about ideal, but you can't find these in a 14" anymore. In my opinion, the next best looking 'wide' tire on the stock wheels is the 205/60/14.

When you make the leap to after market wheels, you have a lot more options. I'm running 245/45/16's on the front on 16x8" wheels and 265/45/16's on the rear on 16x9" wheels.

Rod is running crazy 18" wheels on his ZX, but I'm not sure what width.

 

215/60/15 is just a red chin hair larger in overal diameter than the stock 195/75/14...so it should still read correct on the spedometer.

 

Thanks for the input

what year model stock 15" z or other wheels will fit without modi.

 

huh? 15" wheels will fit any z's. up to 18's i'd say just ask Rod, he should be around a little later.

 

No, they wont.^^^(most newer wheels have an offset of 40, thus requiring a spacer) I belive it is 0 offset such as other Z's pre '83 or if you dish out big bucks, msa and other Z stores.

 

did you just no, me craig?...yes they will, he didn't ask about a spacer, but they will fit, with the spacer..lol. Just ask Rod.

 

DONE..........................

 

thats not a mod. but just a bolt on...craig i think you edited that to make me look stupid..lol, which is not hard. But still, you should be able to find 18"s in 0 offset, no...well w/e i was tring to help...***.^

 

Hahaha ***? Cmon, its like that huh?

 

you can find 18's with that offset its getting the bolt pattern to mach it is the problem. thats why every one goes with aftermarkets or spacers.

 

OR........................you can go down to a custom rim shop and have them make you whatever the hell you want in whatever offset, backspacing, rim width, diameter or finish...it is not THAT much more than getting a new set of dubs...<----did I say that right?

 

on my stock rims i have 225/60/r14 on the front and 235/60/r14 on the rear, with the boyd coddington rims i run 255/40zr17's

 

Just get the frickin' adaptors from Modern MotorSports already for the love of God!


Then you can put any damn "Honda" wheel you want to on your car...


And everybody can quit asking me how I got 18's to fit my car.



Rod.

 

rod how did you get 18's to fit your car?

 

All that is very true............hey Rod....18's...how did you make that work?

 

yah unorginal bastard^^^^
