1979 Nissan 280ZX Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Nissan 280ZX runs a 4x114.3 bolt pattern with a stock setup of 14x5 wheels at a 12mm offset. You can step up to wider options like 14x6, 14x6.5, 14x7, or move to 15-inch diameters in 15x6 and 15x7 sizes. The non-staggered configuration means wheels are identical front and rear.
Remember that only the 4x114.3 bolt pattern will fit your 280ZX—verify this before purchasing. The 66.1mm center bore is hub-centric, so if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to center it properly on the hub. As you go wider or more aggressive with offset, monitor clearance at the fender and suspension to avoid rubbing issues.
Every wheel we stock for your 280ZX is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform all have fitments ready to ship.
