350Z wheels on S13 200SX

Post by DiSSaRRaY »

Heya guys,

are any of you running 350Z wheels on a S13 200SX?
I've got a set coming off a car soon, and I'd love to put those on the SX.

I've been looking around, and overall the best option does look like buying a set of hubs that allow the 5x114 PCD from the Z wheels.
I've also seen adapter plates, but honestly, I don't want to change offsets or have an adapter that might fail under load.

The hub conversion (if I buy new parts from eBay) will ultimately end up with a R4500 - R5000 price tag, excluding any possible issues and extra costs with changing calipers, rotors etc.
If anyone could shed some information, it would be greatly appreciated.

I will continue doing research and hopefully end up with a solution.

The look I'm hoping for (albeit not AS low):

I rate it would look even better with the newer spec 350 wheels

Yes, it would probably look better with the new rims, but I have this set just waiting for me!
I know the HR 350Z rims look very nice on the 300ZX (chap in the Z Club has a set on his car), but for now the DE 350Z's rims will do good :)

The only thing I'm not sure of about the Ichiba set, is the calipers etc.. does it all fit together fine without needing to modify?
I've read up on it a bit, and it does seem you need to change a few things for the Ichiba hubs to work, it might have been a modified car already, without the owner knowing.

you can fit 5 stud hubs Ichiba
then just get your discs re drilled to 5 stud pcd and you are on your way
most upgrade brakes while they are busy with the hubs but it is not needed

I will definitely consider that option, thanks.
At the moment I don't want to modify the car too much, but a brake upgrade is definitely in the pipeline 8)

Thanks for the info.
