Hi, i project to buy a set of rs watanabe this year,

but im little lost, dont know if it will fit or not.

On the watanabe official site, they show somes configurations, i would like to know if it will fit on my 84 300zx

I can see :

- F: R16-80 Â±0 R: R16-85 -6 5

https://dev.z31library.com/extras_archive/www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/

apparently this configuration fit well on my 84 model

- F:R16-85 -6 R:R16-90 -13 (or -19)

https://dev.z31library.com/extras_archive/www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/

And we have this config with more offset, it look better, but i m not sure if it will fit on a zenki model

Can i put a -6 offset on the front wheel on a 84zenki model ?

thank for advance for the help

i know this site ,but i'm not sure i understand it well, look like nothing fit on this list.

any personal experience ?

I reformulate , how many offset have you put on your car ?? 0 offset is the max or i can put more on the front ?

Try using an offset calculator like this one.

https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee…et-Calculator#

It will tell you how much further the new wheels will extend inward/outward. From the numbers given, measure to see how that will compare to the wheels currently on your car. That will give you a better idea of what will fit.

In my opinion, the 16x8 +0 and 16x8.6 -6 setup matches the narrow fender Z31s well.

Are you willing to roll/pull your fenders? Are you going to stretch tire or not?

16x9 +15 w/ 225/50 BFG Rivals

15mm spacer up front = effective +0

s13 rear subframe in rear = effective +5

Running -2.5* camber all around with rolled fenders

A lot of your wheel width and offset also deal with your suspension setup

hi, sorry for the late answer,

nothing is done for the moment, suspensions are stock.

i want to put bilstein B6 this year, if necessary, i 'll roll my fenders

Thanks for you answers guys, i think i'll go 0 offest on the front .
