15x9 et 0 will it fit a 240z ?

[Leo40z]

Hi all

I'm now thinking of a different wheel choice. Rota Bm8 but will the 15x9j et0 fit without rubbing any arches. ? I have coilovers and I also have 205/50/15 tyres already.

My brake setup up front are wilwoods 4 pots.

Thanks

Leo

15x8 0 offset with folded up arches will fit - no bigger. You don't say if your suspension is lowered but I assume so.

Hi

Yeah my car is lowered. But changing the height isn't a issue. With the 205 the will stretch a bit so I'm thinking it will clear. ?

205 is a fair bit of stretch especially with 50 profile over a 9j rim

 

[Leo40z]

But will it fit without arch work.? Lol

I have 15x8 ET0 Rota RKR's fitted with 205/50 yokohamas on my 240Z, standard arches, lowered with a coil over conversion and the wheels just sit flush with the extremeties of the body when viewed from the front/back, so if you run the 9's the wheels will most slighly stick out a little (but i'm guessing this is probably the look your going with, with the decent stretch on the tyre??).

I'm talking literally about bending the interior lip up - no cutting !

I've run a 15 X 9 rim on a 240Z, 225/50/15 tyre, no bodywork mods, 2 & 1/4 ID springs on adjustable platforms and 10mm spacer to clear the brake caliper

Not sure of the offset, if I get time over the weekend I'll try and measure it

 

[tel240z]

probably useles information and pictures but these are 10x15s with 245/40s not a lot of room from spring to inner wheel lip so this is gonna need arches

Can you post some pics up of them? how much clearance to the arch above the tyre?

[JK240]

Yes.

[Leo40z]

If they are 0 offset then ill go for 15x9s with a bit of a stretch on a 205.
