Yeh umm i'm wondering if it matters what the offset is on the wheels for my 260, because i want to buy more up to date ones but ive been told the offset must be 0, is that true?? and is there a maxium offset? help apriciated
Thanx..

My Uncle and I just started playing with different rims for his 260Z.

The less offset the better with say... 6/7 inch rims (no more than +20/+10 offset). We tried 7-8 inch rims too, but it looks like we'll need spacers and/ or guard flaring for fat tyres. Skinny tyres might be alright. Around 0 offset would be preferable for an 8 inch rim.

Long story short: He's a 'bolt-on' man... if it doesn't go straight on, he doesn't want it.

Pretty much anything will work if you're willing to massage guards, fit longer wheel studs, and find thick spacers.

Good luck

PS Try organising at a Mag shop a "fitted" price for some rims you like. It's then their job to make them fit within the budget of the quote they gave you. Could save you alot of hassle...

I have just bought four 240/260Z spare wheels for another project.
They are 14 x 5" with a +20mm offset, giving a 92mm backspace.
Thus, if you go wider, to keep the inner edge of the rim at the same place, your + offset will decrease until you get to 0mm for say a 180mm or 7" wide rim
