What's the factory bolt pattern on a 1975-1978 Datsun 280Z?

The 280Z uses a 4x114.3mm bolt pattern from the factory. VTO Wheels offers this exact bolt pattern in our vintage aluminum wheel lineup, so you'll have perfect fitment without any adapters or modifications needed.

What VTO Wheels sizes will fit my 280Z?

For stock replacement, our 14x6" wheels work great. Popular upgrades include 15x6", 15x7", and 15x8" for better performance and filling out the wheel wells. More aggressive setups can run 16x7" or 16x8", though you'll want to check clearances carefully on lowered cars.

Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my 280Z?

The 280Z has a center bore of approximately 66.1mm. Since VTO Wheels are manufactured with a larger universal center bore, you'll likely need hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and eliminate vibration. We can help you determine the correct ring size for your specific wheel.

What offset should I run on my 280Z with VTO Wheels?

Factory offset was around +20mm to +25mm. For stock-style fitment, stay in the +15mm to +25mm range from our available offsets. You can go more aggressive with lower offsets like +10mm to +15mm for a wider stance, but watch your fender clearance, especially if you're lowered.

How does shipping work?

Orders are shipped as soon as the machining process is completed. Please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery. Expedited shipping is available for $50 per order (up to 4 wheels). Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday or Sunday, except by prior arrangement. All orders include full damage/loss insurance.

How can I contact sales and support at VTO?

What is your return policy?

Datsun 280Z

The 280Z came factory with 14x5.5" steel wheels and a 4x114.3mm bolt pattern across all model years. These stamped steel wheels were typically paired with trim rings and center caps, giving the Z a clean but understated look. The factory offset was around +20mm to +25mm, which provided decent clearance for the stock suspension and brake components.

If you're looking to upgrade your 280Z's footprint, our VTO vintage aluminum wheels are a perfect match for that classic sports car aesthetic. We offer the factory 4x114.3mm bolt pattern in sizes ranging from 14x6" up to 17x8", so you can go with a subtle plus-sizing or really fill out those wheel wells. Popular upgrades include 15x7" or 15x8" setups that give you more tire contact patch while maintaining that period-correct vintage look.

The 280Z represents the sweet spot of the original Z-car era – fuel injection made it more reliable than the earlier 240Z, but it still retained that raw, analog driving experience before emissions really started choking performance. These cars have become serious classics, and the right set of vintage-style wheels can really complete the look while improving handling over those narrow factory steelies.
