Zenki with cobra wheels

[Zetec]

Hey im looking for a picture of a white Zenki with Cobra wheels on it cuz i couldnt find any through a search.

[hannibal]

His sn is dekand. He's showing off his motor is this thread, but you can see his sig.http://www.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=98214

Theres another guy named alkemyst that has cobra wheels on his white koukihttp://www.driftkat.com

thanks lots!

Also i saw that those wheels only come in 8" width's that ive found. So my question is is a 245 profile tire too wide or will it work well.

[hannibal]

dekand runs 245/45 and says he has no issues.if you want wider, check out the 95 cobra r wheels. they look very similar, but are 17x9. i believe all the cobra wheels from 99 on are 17x9. GT wheels and 94-98 cobra wheels are 17x8.

[Zetec]

once again thanks. And one more thing, ive started looking into mustang wheels and found a great deal on a set of saleen look a likes which i think would look badass on my Zenki. I was wondering if +22mm offset would work without rubbing the fender with a 18x9 wheel?

[hannibal]

Well, the handy dandy offset calc says you'll have 4mm less clearance to the struts and 22mm less clearance to the fenders than the 17x8 cobras.http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

Dont know if they will fit, but I think the strut clearance will be the biggest factor. Try to find some guys running 18x9 (or even just 18's) and see what offests they use. Plug the numbers in the calc and see how the saleens compare.

99% of the questions in the wheels forum are about offset and fitment. The gurus over there seem fed up with these kinda questions but they answer them occasionally. Look thru the first couple of pages and see if someone asking about a similar setup got a response.

Ive been looking at wheel fitment for a few weeks now. Glad I could help...

BTW, I like the saleen wheels, but 18's are a little too big for my taste (and budget). The black ones are lovely though.Here's link to a seller of replicas. Dont know how their prices compare, but it should give you an idea.http://www.wheelreplicas.com/

Damn, I like that white kouki in the link....

I know it's only a matter of time until I cave and paint my car white...

Silver Moss is neat and all, but I've always had white cars, it just feels wrong not to.

[hannibal]

I think the wheels 'fit' the car very nicely. Just dont tell anyone they came from a mustang

No! you cant get rid of the beautiful silver moss. Its oh so rare...

Now that I think about it, every car Ive owned or driven has been blue, green, or somewhere in between.

why dont we trade ??? i have a 79,000 miles '97 240sx se auto Pearl White the paint is still awesome looking. i would love to have an even rarer silver moss 5 speed s14!too bad i live in Ca...once im done paying fot this car (around august) i'll sell it for 10, im sure i can sell it for that price, tons of people are looking for '97-'98 240s here in cali.
