Ok i have searched around and come up with answers to a few of my questions but not all of them. it is easy to find info on the z32 brake upgrade, but not the wheels. i already have aluminum 30mm z32 calipers. i want to also upgrade to 300zx wheels when i install these. i have an s13 with currently stock suspension but plan on upgrading to tein s-techs with kyb gr2 struts soon. i am knowledgable on the matter of 5 lug swap and know that i need to ditch my 4 lugs in favor of 5 lug for the wheels. questions are as follows

1. is it true the z32 wheels with clear on the rear with no problems or spacers, even the TT wheels which are 8.5 inches wide?

2. on the front i need spacers to clear the 7.5 inch wheels which came on both TT(front) and NA( front and rear) z32s? how thick of a spacer will i need and should i upgrade to the longer wheel studs?

3. i am having a hard time finding a set of wheels from a TT 300zx but really want the meatier tire in the rear since i am running an sr and want some good traction. is a wider wheel in the rear worth anything or should i just pick up a set of 7.5 wheels?

4. what size tires should i run if i pick up the TT wheels? how about the NA wheels would i run different tire sizes ?

whew i know that is alot of questions but i really want to make sure i have all the right components when it comes time to do the install. thanks for any help you offer!
