300zxTT rims on S14 ?

[jrw1621]

The searches that I performed did not result in clear answers to my questionss?

Has anyone here mounted 300zx TT rims onto a S14 SE?Can you provide pictures?Have you been happy with the results?

Did it require spacers? If yes, what size, where did you get them and how much? Did it also require longer studs?

I have the rims already. They have no tires mounted on them. It appears that the rims may fit but that the rubber may rub the shock towers.

Thanks for any feedback,

John - You're already aware, I'm sure, that they are 2 different sizes (F and R).

I'm not positive, but I think the offset is problematic for those on a 240.

I DO know, however, that these are a HOT item for 90-96 Q45's, since they fit a 255/50/16 tire very nicely. If you don't wind up using them, put them in B/S/T and they should sell RIGHT away.

I am in the process of doing this as well. I would like to know also. I think they will fit because I have seen some really wide tires on S14s before. A spacer may be required but I will have to see. I guess unless someone comes back.

There's this dude here on NICO who owns a S14 equipped with 300ZX rims. He goes by the handle PabloHoney. There's a picture of his S14 in the sig. So if you have any questions regarding installation, just e-mail the guy.

Here's a link to the last thread he posted on:http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....71749

no rubbing, using factory 300z tyre size.

there's maybe ~3mm of space in the front, while rear has plenty.bought them for hella cheap.

Maxpower, Thanks for the pictures. You wrote: "there's maybe ~3mm of space in the front, while rear has plenty."Does this mean that you are using a 3mm spacer or that with no spacer you still have 3mm of room left?For the rears: Is your car equiped with the Twin Turbo rim which is an inch wider in the rear than in the front?

Holisticbeatz, Thanks for the lead to Pablohoney. I forwarded an email to him.

Thanks to all for the quick input,

John
