New Wheels for the Ride

Not so much a picture of my car (they're not on yet), but a picture of the wheels I picked up for my 1991 240sx. They're a set of Panasport G7s, 17x9 +15 offset. Circa sometime around 1991 or 1992.

Update: Got tires today! BFGoodrich G-Force 255-40/17's.











All I have to do is figure out how to mount an extra lug onto my 4 lug hubs.

Mike, two of the center caps have 3 teeth cracked off. I'll need you to use one of your crazy doohickey machines and Yankee ingenuity to fix them!

Or I could use JB Weld.

See now the thing is there are no more teeth. They came broken with no teeth in the first place. I'll just use spots of JB weld from the center cap right to the chipped powdercoating on the inside of the wheel.

Only for the back wheels. The fronts are about 1/2 inch less lip.

Speaking of which, if you can find a 3 dimensional version of the shocked face I'll hang it from the tow strap hook on the back of my car. I was going to find a small aluminum bucket and be JDM but the shocked face = OG.

Is there a way to swap to 5 lugs on your car?
I swapped from 4 lugs to 5 on my Mustang and it was a really easy swap using later model Mustang hubs and Ranger axles

Yeah, I've got Ichiba front hubs on the way (pretty much a bolt on affair - only part OEM is the bearing though ) and I've got Z32 N/A rear hubs on the way (bolt on too, all OEM). Then I'll just need some S14 SE rotors.
