My 300zx is just sitting at the shop just waiting for me to work on it but there is only one problem it has no wheels. So my dad suggested to make wooden wheels for my z car. So I looked it up and people really put wooden wheels on car when they are in the shop working on them. So do u think this will work or is it just crazy and stupid.

 

This is one of those times when "common sense" comes into play.

 

but i seen pictures of people using it on classic cars and even campers and remind you, I am only using the wooden wheels to it around the shop.

 

I didn't say "don't do it"... just use your head. A 3000lb car sitting on makeshift / homemade wood wheels can be dangerous. I used to visit trauma patients for work. I've had a hand full of "crushed by auto" patients and it wasn't ever pretty.

Did your stock wheels get stolen? Just trying to figure out what's going on here...

 

It would work. It would distribute the weight of the body over four points of about 800 lbs each. But why? There'd be materials, design, cutting, ... The easiest way to block a car (jackstands not withstanding) is to use normal regular wheel ramps beneath the frame rails. Use some blocks between the ramp and rail to locate the load on the center of the ramp where the tire normally stands. Solid, level, and quickly adjustable with a floor jack. Four jackstands push it to a safety risk I don't/won't accept.

 

Yeah I understand what you guys are telling me but if I might add It does not have the engine or transmission in it. Also the guy I bought the car from sold the wheels so yeah hahaha

 

if you just need to move it around put a floor jack under the diffy. put another floor jack under the front end where the cross member is nice and beefy. you need two people but i have moved cars out of one space to the apron and back into another space in a two car garage. floor jacks pretty cheap at harbor freight.

 

Go for it...

 

OK thanks for everyone's help and just to let you guys know, I just waited it out and found some wheels!! I think they are 87 turbo wheels But I got the wheels, center caps, and tires all for $100
