Will 280Z Snowflake wheels fit Roadster
I have found a set of 15" 1981 280Z Turbo wheels, and I am wondering if they will fit my 67 Roadster. If so, what size tire would fit best in fenders, and what lug nuts would work.
Thanks

'81.5 Datsun 280ZX Turbo Nissan Part # 40300-P9000
BS = 101mm or 3.98"
OS = +12mm
FYI Rim width.....~=(101mm-12mm) X 2 -1 = 6"
backspacing-offset = center of the rim x 2 = total width -1" (1/2" rim thickness x 2) = rim width
They should fit but will be close, so I would go with 185 x 50
They do require special lug nuts which have a wider shank that most other "mag" style lugt nuts - .73 as opposed to .68.

And the lugs that come with them and fit the Z car feel like they tighten up, but they do not. They will strip and your wheels will come off. This has happened to others.fj20spl311 wrote:

The stock "Z" lug nuts are 12mm and the roadster lugs are 7/16
You need special lug nuts or change your lugs to 12mm and use the "Z" special nuts.

Re: Will 280Z Snowflake wheels fit Roadster
I have a couple sets of '82 280ZX wheels. They are the swastika kind of style - 15 x 6. Those wheels are likely newer, maybe 200SX Turbo? or 300 ZX? I think Ross put a set on someones car for racing?? Don't have any idea of offset. I run 185/65/15 tires with a small amount of rubbing on hard corners.

Re: Will 280Z Snowflake wheels fit Roadster
If I remember, the right 7/16 lug nuts with the correct shank diameter existed at some time, whether you can still get them is another question. Also thought someone made a sleeve to go on a standard lugnut.

Thanks for your replies.
These wheels are 15x6 from a 1981 Turbo 280Z.
Any other feedback would be helpful.

Re: Will 280Z Snowflake wheels fit Roadster
I have a Roadster (being parted) that someone took the time to change all of the studs to 12mm. That is an option.

lug nuts ffor 280 Z wheels
in case the topic is not completely dead
following threads on this forum found a fellow from OZ who pointed out part number 5001T as having the necessary shape to bolt in ca. 1980 mags like the six spoke and the iron cross
http://www.customwheelaccessories.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
their catalog opens up here
http://abc.eznettools.net/D304617/X3549 ... _nuts.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
this is like wheelcomponents was before

Re: Will 280Z Snowflake wheels fit Roadster
I know these lugs exist because I have them for my 280zx 6spoke wheels. There must be a thread on the lug nuts and where to get them somewhere. Wheel components or some thing like that?
