Well as usual, no mod can go on without some drama.

Here is the ticket. Z rims....225/50's. Rub on the rear, can't even get them bolted all the way. Add 5/8 spacer. STILL can't get em all the way on....and then the studs get too short for comfort.

Simillar situation in the front. Didn't try the spacer. With the spacer they probably wouldn't rub...but then again the studs get too short.

Questions:

1. Can a rim/tire place add spacers and add longer studs? Is that common at any tire dealers that look somewhat performance oriented?

2. Even if they do add spacers and new studs...is it safe?

I REALLY don't want to give up these rims. They look PERFECT and with 225 sp8000's they should make this bad boy stick like crazy.

I have Eibachs if that matters. It seems that when you lower the 3rd gens the tires get closer to the strut.

Thanks guys,

Mike S.

 

whew!! i have no problem on the 4th gen.

 

I wonder what this is going to cost me.

 

I think Andrew91SE tried to do this also and failed. . . I remember reading stuff about it a few months back. It just might not be possible to get 300Z rims to fit on a 3rd gen.

 

Hmm...no..its possible. A few guys on the gen 3 board have em. Andrew had bought the TT rims which are like 8.5 in the rear. No spacer is gonna fix that.
