Which Nissan Z car did these rims belong to? The tires that we pulled off of them were 215/60/15 if that helps any.

We got them from a scrapyard and I would like to have a moment of silence for the car.

EDIT:

Thank you guys! Car found: '84/'85 non-turbo 300zx

May you rest in peace Z.

They look Z31-ish to me, but you'll need to ask someone who's really into these cars (e.g. Sparf) for more reliable info.

I had them on my '85 non-turbo.

Early Z31 non-turbo, probably '84-'86 or something like that, as has already been mentioned.

This, incidentally, makes this post Sparfbait!

Don't you just love the knowledge of the combined audience?

Great resource for Z31 wheels. You have what appear to be 84/85 300ZX non-turbo wheels. Ultimately, a somewhat desired set of wheels. They're a popular upgrade for 280ZXs however, since they are stil 4-lug, and almost all other 300ZX wheels are 5 lug.

Aftermarket support for 280zx wheels is better than it used to be though, so I don't know if this swap is still popular.

I suggest you throw them up on a few forums and see if someone interested in a tire size upgrade for the 280zx wants the set, if you have a full set. If you don't, offer them as OE replacements to people restoring early Z31s, unless (of course) you plan on using them.

Actually I think those wheels are from the less commonly know Nissan N cars. Common mistake.

Definitely non-turbo '84 300ZX wheels, my mom had one with those same wheels.

I do not myself. I wish I had a Z car!

It is only the two unfortunately. I'm pretty sure he could just put them up in the shop and they would go quick though.
