questions on rims

i have a 1990 300zx no turbo.

front wheel drive rims work on it ? or do i have to get a certian type of rim. b/c the all the rear wheel drive rims that i find r for old cars.. like chevells, and stuff like that, im pretty sure that fWD rims will work but im not sure.

thanks JIM :confused:

Front wheel drive rims?:confused:

Rims are rims, as long as they fit the lugs.;)

i dont no around here they classify rims by fwd and rwd.. i no the 300zx is a rear wheel drive car.. . on the rear wheel drive rims the lugs r deap into the middle of the rim...

thanks neways

The rim may belong on the rear or front lugs. As for the rim being different for a front wheel drive car as apposed to a rear wheel drive car I don't think it matters.?!

Does anyone want to help me out on this?

ok i got the point.

pep boys classifies the rims as front wheel drive or not, I don't know what the deal with that is though, it is pep boys after all.

I have 20 inch wire rims that i am trying to take off...but the problem is the (ears) broke off...how can i take them off..????

The thing with FWD and RWD isn't whether or not they make different rims for the car based on the mode of drive but it is the offset. The 300zx takes a wheel with a pretty serious offset usually +35 and above if my memory serves me correct. Most FWD cars do not take that kind of offset.

You need to find wheels with the correct lug pattern and offset or else you will not be able to fit the wheel over the brake calipers or it will just look silly if u do get it to fit properly over the calipers.

ROFL at the mod posting in a necro thread.

Anyway, for posterity, k3 wins it with the correct response, drive line setup doesn't limit wheel selection, it's all about offset, lug pattern and clearance.
