MartinGT Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 nobody on any forums seems to have a proper answer so i guess i'll just need to try, mates got alot of these spare and they'd be handy for a trip to crail! 18s would be a bit dear to replace, whereas you can pick up worn 16s for free!

I still think a cheap set of the 17s that the Jap imports came on would be better. The car was never designed to run on 16s and, whilst I have no technical reasoning to back myself up, I just wouldn't fancy it. Surely the tyres would have to be such high profile to keep the rolling radius that you'd knacker the handling? There's someone in the for sale section flogging some 17s.

Think he has a pal who can get him free 16's, that why he was thinking 16 inch rims. TBH 18's should be the minimum put on a zed.......17's look bloody stupid. acceptable on a track but how much advantage do they really give?

MartinGT Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 as long as the overall diameter is thereabouts it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinGT Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 as long as it just clears the rear brembo's, all i need. really should get my finger out and just try for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well, 350 wheels fit the S14, so Id imagine they can do it the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well, 350 wheels fit the S14, so Id imagine they can do it the other way Because 350 wheels are 2" bigger than the S14, no they might not go the other way..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySpak Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 would nissan 200sx s14 16" wheels fit over the rear brembo's? same as those. I wish the handbrake in the Zed was this side of the gear stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh?? Surely if that was an issue it would the other way round - the S14 wouldnt be able to take the 18's, not the 350 not being able to take the 16's?? A stadard S14 16 would be too skinny and small for drifting IMO anyway - I use 17's on both of my drift cars, and one of them is only 200 bhp. Drifting is actually all about grip, not the lack of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacers old boy, spacers S14 wheels have a lot more clearance than S13 or Z32 ones ........... well, a few mm anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
