hey man, sorry this took so long. camera wasn't working. anyway, here they are.







the front wheels are pretty flush, but thats with a spacer. they require at least a 5mm spacer to clear the stock shocks/springs.

^ thaks man, i dont surf Nico as much as i should...just now noticed your reply.

I did just get in some Z32 TT rear wheels... the have 10mm less offest than the NA z32's and are an inch wider at 8.5". I'll be mounting a set of 245-50-16 Nitto nt555r Drag Radials to these.









I'll be sure to post some pics of the fitment after i get the tires.

^nice man..I'm picking up a set of staggered TT wheels tomorrow with nearly brand new potenza tires for $380!!! I'm excited to finally get rid of my 15x6 with 195/60 tires and actually get some real WHEELS (not hubcaps) with some wider rubber. I'll post the pics up when I get them on

Man dude, those are flush

I got my wheels, but I can't put them on until I get some front 5 lug hubs..yeah I'm base model here lol but I rolled them over my existing wheels and took a camera phone pic:

I noticed that the rear TT wheels are a tad concave than the n/a wheels, see if you can see the slight differences from the front and rear.

Bolted on the new TT wheels and drag radials, they look good and hook great, but rub a little when it squats, so i'll be rolling the qp's soon...

hello. i have a pet peeve. it's been people put Z32 wheels on the wrong side of the car (yes, it's just as common on a Z32 as on anything else, so i'm not bashing you 240 guys or anything). guy with the burgundy coupe, you have it right. same with you, mr. theresaredkoukiS14inmysignature. the other two, no. compare the two pairs for right/wrong. they're directional wheels, and people just don't seem to get that.

my wheels were on the wrong side when i got my Z

but that lasted less than a month!

what happens when you rotate the tires? they have to switch sides unless you unmount the tires. I see what you mean though.

yeah mr. ihavearedz32inmyavatar is right they're supposed to "scoop" the air out from under the car at high speeds.

not HP, just downforce because you want the least amount of air under the car. I don't know how effective these wheels are, but that was the original purpose of removing air from under the car.

i plan to get a set of tt rears all around. i wanna know the sidewall of his n/a. Its probably 45 because he got 50's for his drag radials and i notice the difference. What do the tt rears come with stock size tires?
