Original wheel offset

Post by peter »

Does anybody know what the wheel offset is from the original steel rims?
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

which year? I think 66-67 is a narrower wheel than 67.5, 68-70. I can measure the backspace of a 4.5" wheel, and use the offset calculator tomorrow.
Ive read that 240Z has a 4.5" wheel with a 3.25" backspace.
