I'm pretty sure those are for a Datsun 24/6/80 Z cars. Try looking for ZG flares for a Datsun 260z.

Your welcome.

Seems there are different ZG flares available. Mine are ZG flares too.
I'm sure it's been said before, but this is a beautiful car! The flares, stance, wheels - all perfect.

Thank you for the compliment. In my opinion the complete design depends of the detail work you have done befor you mount the flares.

Hey man, I know you probably get asked this ALL THE TIME...so I apologize....but your car looks so good and I had a couple questions if you don't mind.

1 - which air dam are you running?
2 - Spoiler?
3 - Rims are 15x9.....I"m assuming you're an SE car thus 4x114.3?

Cheers!

1. Looks like a kamei air dam, hard to find used black tie motors made some copies, unknown quality
2. Probably a duraflex
3. Rota has some 15x8 and 15x9 wheels in 4x110, it is hard to find tires for 15x9 that arent stretched like crazy

I got the same Z-car flares. The front and the rear flares and the left and the right flare are different. You mounted them in a different way as mine. Not sure what´s the correct way.

Just joined and already bringing things back from the dead. Lol. ...i actually plan to buy this flare kit.. but its hard to find info on the wheel offset.. this is for a dedicated road race track car... i fear the only thing that will work is custom wheels which is loads of $$$$. I was thinking like a 16" or 17" wheel 10" wide all four coners with a -20 or -28 offset..
Do you guys know what would work? I would hate to buy the flares to find out i have to spend 3 grand on wheels, or use 2in spacers..lol

Diamond Racing wheels are affordable and not too expensive.

I just looked on the site they do have a 16x10 in a -25 offset which should work it would be about $150 per wheel, which is not bad. It dosent say how much the 16x10 weigh though.
