Rims Or C210


Recommended Posts

Looking at a set of rims, sizes are 17 x 7.5 +28 and 17 x 8.5 +28

Just wondering if these would be a decent fit on the coupe, seen one with similar size but 8 and 9 inches wide, didn't have standard suspension tho.

Cheers,

Dan

I would say they will fit fine. I had 17x7+38 on the C210 coupe years ago, the offset on those rims MAY make it close to or touch the outer lip of the guard but a minor roll would fix that if it was an issue. not saying it will be, but that would be where they would hit if at all. But as always, a trial fit is always the best way to go.

I dont think 10 and 11 inch wide wheels are an option with out flares. Guards have all been rolled before the paint went on.

That 240 is ridiculous and awesome but must have next to no suspension travel what so ever, I live in the country and have to drive on roads, real roads that have bumps and stuff. I just think that the 17's will suit the ride hight better then a set of SSR MKIII in 15 x 8 -11 that I've been eying off and have much love forworship.gif

All depends on these $$$ at the end of the day to what I'll end up running with.

This is the car I was talking about, similar wheels to what I'm looking at but with gold centers

Not that I know the car, but wouldnt 15" be much tougher and better fit?

That 240Z that everyone knows (the rusty one) runs 15x10 and 15x11..... the article is on speed hunters:

Those tyre fitments WILL NOT under any circumstances pass registration authorities in ANY STATE in Australia. Outside of that simple fact Dan lives in NSW where we have to pass a roadworth inspection every year & we have gestapo style highway patrol police that just lurv anything that looks just a tad boy racer, so I would think he would not bother with the hassles. Further, did you ever look past the pictures, 225/25 tyres on a 15 x 11 wheel & 205 on a 15 x 10??? How absurd is that when he could fit easily 16 x 8 & 9 under his body, without flares and carry 245/45 tyres, or maybe for economics, 225/50 all round.

JMHO

Auction ended early, sold elsewhere but there's an even fatter set on import monster/yahoo Japan at the moment.

Who wants to pay me for sexual favours? I need a better paying job.

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
