Wheels are a wheel pain...

I like that style of wheel, looks like atleast 17s ,Japan racing wheels JR10
That's a nice looking car...so clean and un-cluttered
Making me thing about NOT fitting ZG arches
They are very similar to JR10's but If memory serves me well they are CCW from USA as I've enquired about those wheels myself.
Also, I believe they are 17's upgrade to a 5 lug wheel.

No, but I now have that size fitted and I can confirm they fit fine, although they won't fit the front unless you have coilovers as the stock setup is too wide.
I could have run ET15 on the rear as there is still plenty of room but the ET10's work fine anyway.

Hi guys,
Wondering whether a 15x9 et0 rim will fit on a stock body 240Z, lowered springs by around 2 inches with kyb gas cartridges?
I'm thinking either 225/50 tyres or really pushing it... 205/55 tyres? It's more for aesthetics to be honest as I'm not going to be driving like a mad man.
I had 15x8 et0 with 225/50 tyres on a stock body 260Z (2 seater) which cleared and that had pretty much the same suspension set up as above..

I know someone with 15x9 et0 wheels on a 240z - its lowered on coilovers and it doesn't rub - the arches aren't rolled either. Not sure on the tyres but they do have a little stretch on them. So its possible - tyre choice will have an impact obviously. Just don't go too tall or wide on the tread width.

I had 225/50/16 on my rota grids and they slightly rubbed on one side on a lowered USA import but I changed to 205/55/16 and it was fine but saying that it does depend on the make of tyre as not all tyres are the same shape even if they are the same size
I don't like them and they look weak (i.e. dangerous).
I know it's personal taste but the centres look like something that should be hanging from a Christmas tree.

They could be a Christmas present to myself? What's wrong with Christmas decorations anyway, are you Scrooge??
I think I'm just after something a bit different, a bit rare, a bit jdm but still have that classic look

Original steels may do the trick then but no doubt you'll want to get a 3" band welded into them.
No doubt these will offend but thought it worth posting up:

Be imaginative and get some wolfrace slot mags or maybe mini lite wheels
