  • Question about watanabe wheel fitment

    Hi, i project to buy a set of rs watanabe this year,
    but im little lost, dont know if it will fit or not.

    On the watanabe official site, they show somes configurations, i would like to know if it will fit on my 84 300zx

    I can see :

    - F: R16-80 ±0 R: R16-85 -6 5
    http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/tag/%E8...D%A3%E5%93%89/
    http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/16inc-26/
    http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/tag/yamamoto/

    apparently this configuration fit well on my 84 model

    - F:R16-85 -6 R:R16-90 -13 (or -19)
    http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/16inc-247/
    http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/16inc-244/

    And we have this config with more offset, it look better, but i m not sure if it will fit on a zenki model

    Can i put a -6 offset on the front wheel on a 84zenki model ?

    thank for advance for the help

      I reformulate , how many offset have you put on your car ?? 0 offset is the max or i can put more on the front ?

        Try using an offset calculator like this one.

        https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#

        It will tell you how much further the new wheels will extend inward/outward. From the numbers given, measure to see how that will compare to the wheels currently on your car. That will give you a better idea of what will fit.

        In my opinion, the 16x8 +0 and 16x8.6 -6 setup matches the narrow fender Z31s well.

          Are you willing to roll/pull your fenders? Are you going to stretch tire or not?

            16x9 +15 w/ 225/50 BFG Rivals

            15mm spacer up front = effective +0
            s13 rear subframe in rear = effective +5

            Running -2.5* camber all around with rolled fenders

            A lot of your wheel width and offset also deal with your suspension setup

              hi, sorry for the late answer,
              nothing is done for the moment, suspensions are stock.
              i want to put bilstein B6 this year, if necessary, i 'll roll my fenders

              Thanks for you answers guys, i think i'll go 0 offest on the front .
