I like these rims and am wondering what year range and model these come off of? 280z 300zx which one?

I was just thinkin these are 14" these might not even fit over a 240's brakes anyone done it?

I don't recall a Z with four lugs.

Those are either not really Z wheels, or they are from an earlier Z (meaning pre Z31--they could have had four lugs...I'm not sure).

Z's have never had four lugs as far as I know. They're probably just a regular wheel somebody stuck a Z hub on. At least since the Z31, they've had five lugs. That means that those wheels would have to be pre 1984 to be real Z wheels.

EDIT:

The S130 (second gen Z) had a 4x4 1/2 lug pattern. That could be from that car, or the first gen Z.

All the way up through the NA Z31's there were four lug Z cars FYI. Those wheels pictured came off of a 280 if memory serves me right.

280zx, 14x6, pretty good offset. huge sidewalls on still too short 205/60's, i can feel the tires roll over on hard turns.

edit: don't run these with standard conical lugs, they need shank type.

Yep, na s130 wheels

Its a +11 or +13 offset by the way

s30's were 4 lug with 0 offset, 4" backspacing only with coilovers (i.e. less with with stock suspension)s130's were 4 lug with a +10ish offset and about 4" of backspacing, but thats stock and the spring pearch isn't in the way like the s30'searlier na z31 (pre redesign ~87) were 4 lug with +10ish offset. Don't know later than that though
