man that blows, kind of sucks but you did score some oldschool parts. I don't know of anyone that has a Hoosier front. Hope you get some cash back.

Ok, here's the good news and the bad news (IMO) The good news is, i'm willing to bet that the wheel will fit your Z! After you install a 250R front hub and rotor assembly.

The bad news is, you have to purchase a 250R hub and rotor assembly.

After comparing that picture to some Z wheels and R wheels and doing some math, I can't see any way that bolt pattern is 4x205.

If I remember my conversions correctly, Standard to Metric is 25.4. That makes the 4x205.... 8.07" from hole to hole. So you need 10" for the tire that gives you less than 1" on each side between the hole and the tire. Now, looking at that picture it looks like more than that to me. Since we know it came of a Z and we know the R hub fits, I would lay money that it's for an R hub at 4x170 or 6.69" from hole to hole.

Some other bad news is that your rim is a Douglas Blue label which is the .125 thickness and can be ordered for the R in a 10" design for less than $100.

I would be talking with the guy you got it from and let him know it was misadvertised after you make sure it does not fit. Also tell him the cost involved in converting to a Honda hub as well as the availability of the Douglas wheel NEW for less than $100.

So a honda R hub/rotor will work.Do I use the R axle or the Z?Do I use the Z spacers or the R ?

I have a 12 inch Douglas front rim for a Tri-Z. it clearly has the label on it. An dit is for sure, with out a doubt not a stock rim. I did not realize they were so hard to come by. I was nto even trying to find this one. it fits a stock Tri-Z hub with now problems.

You use the Z axle and spacer. You will have to use some washers to move the caliper over a hair so it will line up with the brake disc.
