Datsun 260Z
The Datsun 260Z came from the factory with 14x5.5 steel wheels and a 4x114.3mm bolt pattern across all model years. These stamped steel wheels wore basic hubcaps and looked pretty utilitarian compared to the car's sleek bodylines. The factory offset was typically around +20mm to +25mm, which kept the wheels tucked nicely under the flares without any aggressive stance.
VTO Wheels offers perfect bolt pattern compatibility with our 4x114.3mm options, so you can drop in any of our sizes without spacers or adapters. Popular upgrades include our 15x6, 15x7, and 15x8 sizes for that classic period-correct look, or step up to 16x7 and 16x8 for a more modern approach. Our vintage aluminum designs give your Z the lightweight performance and timeless style those steel wheels never could.
The 260Z bridged the gap between the original 240Z and the later 280Z, keeping that pure sports car DNA while adding a bit more displacement. It's become increasingly collectible as enthusiasts recognize it as the sweet spot in Z-car evolution - still lightweight and nimble, but with enough power to satisfy. These cars look absolutely killer on period-appropriate aluminum wheels that match their '70s racing heritage.
