What size are those z wheels?

[dliverance]

Theyre 14x6-10 offset I think. Too negative?

[dliverance]

Every site I've searched says +12 but im pretty sure the stamp in the back says -10. Its pretty confusing.


One of the reasons I've been put off on these wheels is that I overlooked something kinda major when I purchased them. They're designed for mag type lug nuts. In order to use them I would have to convert to lug studs all around as well as use mag lug nuts. Not super inconvenient but an additional $50 to do.

They should be a positive offset. Usually it would say ET10 or ET12.
You probably want more like an ET25, unless your planning on running a lot of negative camber.

Look for FWD 4 lug Nissan/Infiniti wheels if you want to stay 4x114.3.
Also, aftermarket wheels for Hyundai, Mitsubishi and certain older Mazda/Ford/mercury cars have 14x6 with the offset you want in a 4x114.3 pattern.

So this happened today. The seller was asking $400 shipped, I offered $300 and he countered with $320. They're 13x6+15. I think I can live with that. Now I just need to order tires and get my suspension on it's way. Good news is I get to get rid of the flares.

Are you selling the flares?

Yes i am.

Yes i am.

Can I call dibs after you list a price. Are they generic eBay flares?

I'm working on a pretty cool little project. When I got my car the ignition was all busted and I've been using a flathead to start it. 75% of the time it springs into "off" when I try to take the screwdriver out. Tonight I decided to make a little plate with a pushbutton and a toggle switch to start the car. I got the plate all made up and the switches ready but I need to figure out some wiring before the install.

Pics. Sorry for quality. It's dark here.

Are you going to add a kill switch somewhere hidden to help deter theft?

I love your button switch. I love switches.

Eventually I will. I have a club that I will be using for now. I live in a pretty small town and have a garage. Until I get the killswitch installed I think it'll be safe.

I have to revise the switch tonight to accommodate an acc switch. Going to move the dimmer switch and add a second toggle. Pics soon

Festivas have the most effective theft deterrent offered by any car. Lol

Nice find! Those will fit nearly the same as my wheels. They're 5.5 wide +37.3 with a 1" spacer, making them effectively +12. Had to roll and pull the fenders and I'm running -3* all around. Can't wait to see them mounted!
