I'm looking to get E/T Streets on 16x7.5" 300ZX rims for the track, I was just wondering what everyone else was using?

 

im using a 15x8 size steel rim with 27x11.5x15 size hoosiers.

 

here's what I got with part number and prices from Jegs

927-96-58210
Pro Star 96-Series Wheel
Size: 15'' x 8''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2''
Rear Spacing: 5-1/2''
$159.99


672-3752
Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Tire
26'' x 10.5'' - 15''LT
$169.99

12.1.25mm Spline type lugs

 

I was thinking of getting E/T streets just to cut 1.8's on the street

 

mrtomcat, do you use spacers with your setup? And if not, why did you have to change lugs? How much do these wheels weigh?

 

no spacers, these dimensions fit perfectly.
The Wheels are racing wheels NHRA requieres special lug nuts for those. They cover the stud giving additional safety

The wheels are ultra light don't know how much but it's amazing how light they are

 

Oh man, I have a secret for everyone.

94-98 16" Mustang GT wheels

My buddy had 10.5" slicks on them, we just test fit them on my car yesterday...Perfect, and they weight almost nothing.

 

haha yea i was using 17" mustang bullit wheels with Nitto 555R drag radials on my Z before i switched to slicks. again mustang rims are an awesome fit and they are light.

 

Does anyone know if the mustang wheels will fit on a track model?

 

get good drag radials

et streets are wobbly fomr a roll and they actually dont hook that well on slicks street surfaces.

i have daily driven on

ET streets
ET drags
M&H DOT slicks
Nittos 555Rs

i have yet to try BFG drag radials, though they do hook better on the track and street they last about half as long as the nitto and nittos got me consistant 1.8s and some 1.7s

 

they should be fine. is use the same weld prostar yall use.

the stock 99+ 15 is 19 pounds
the 16s seem lighter

Yall might try the new et street radial it hooks great and will do well on the street

 

Haha, were they black and did you sell them on ebay?

 

I was thinking of 555R's but not enough people are concerned with dragging and noone likes to respond to my threads in the wheel/tire section You just made my mind up for me though, I think I'll be ordering them Saturday morning.

 

they are a great street tire and hook better than all my normal street tires in the rain.. until the center gets bald of course.

they are just a little tricky at the track but with an auto you should have no problem. they hit the tire much less hard. get them heated up and run them 15-20 find the spot that works for you. i dailied mine at 15 cause i like to hook.

 

Where oh where can I get the best deal (price) on these Mustang GT 16" wheels? I need them preferably to be 16"X9", but 16"X8" or 16"X 8.5" wide would be ok. 10" wide would be ok as well. I want to run Mickey Thompson ET street radial P255/50R/16s on my '04 enthusiast (no brembo) 350Z. Any and all help greatly appreciated. What is the offset on these wheels. What is a good price?

I don't seem to be able to find 16" Weld wheels X 8 or 8.5 - 10"s that will fit my 350Z. Or any other 16" wheels that will work with the above tires.

 

It's no secret...plenty of guys run mustang wheels on the Z...it's a really cheap alternative to welds or some other lightweight drag rim.

BTW - I don't think you'll get out of the hole much better than you do now with slicks without a torque converter upgrade. Your car will probably end up bogging pretty bad.

 

Thank you for another useful response Bri!

 

you don't have to be an @ss about it. I was just letting you know that it's no secret.

 

Anyone know for sure if the 17" Bullit wheels will fit on a Track Model Z? Ebay has a bunch for about $84 bucks a peice.
