Guy's I want to get some rims for the car soon (maybe this month , lord willing), but the problem is that I have the 300zx brake set up F/R on the coupe and I'm staying four lug, Please don't flame me for the 4 lug, I just think for what I want the car for and what You do to your car are two diff. things. Any way I was just wondering if you know of some rims that can clear the brakes set up? I know that sportmax 962'2 would clear them, but I kinda wanted something that a little diff. Please let me know and F.Y.I. i running 26mm up front and I slaped these bad boys on with no spacers with the stock se rims. Thank for reading and post some pic's and Ideas if you can.F.Y.I I have meagan springs and kyb shocks if that helps, again thank you.

Here's some pic's of the car and it "stance" so farand here's some side shots

and I might have something you guys might want: MUD flaps F/R

I also want to add that I'm not planing on coilovers and I would like to keep the rim size no biger than 17's.

fastback mudflaps are different from coupe, just like reemz are different from wheels.

For 4 lugs you won't have too many options. Especially if you want to clear Z brakes. The only thing I can suggest is checking out what RBmotoring.com has for 4 lug rimzz.

Well as far as cost goes that can range depending on the rims. I would like to have something with a lip, to me the car reminds me of a BMW M3. If any body has any pic's post them please.

Thank you, From your brother in strugle that we call the silvia/240sx. Dr.Fate

what about some work XD-9's? Work makes them in 4 lug, they just need to be special ordered. i got a quote for them around a year ago and i believe it was around 1300-1400.

It mainly depends on spoke design, you'll want something that has spokes that curve outward. Like someone else said, check out rbmotoring.com, takumiproject.com, wheelchoice.com. I don't think your'e going to be able to get a wheel with a deep lip *plus* spokes that will clear Z calipers. They kind of go against each other (there's some Work and SSR wheels though I've seen like that though). Consider a small spacer (5-10mm--H&R brand) to fit what you want.
