[Roadsters] 240Z rear brake drums fit? (was "Re: A few questions")

[Bubba]

Most Speed Shops sell what you need.  They are known as a wheel spacers or 
wheel adapters.  The advantage of wheel adapters is you can actually change 
the bolt pattern to fit those wheels you found on e-bay, but don't fit the 
Datsun bolt pattern.  Check out these links to the Jegs website..

No need to re-invent the wheel so to speak.
