Looking for wheels for my Completly bone stock 1990 2+2 N/A 300ZX and I'm not quite sure what width I can run on the front. I've looked all over the internet and all over multiple forums and can't seem to find a definitive answer. It may just be my negligence but I figured I can get one for myself here. Anyways I know that I want an 18 inch wheel but I don't know how wide (and what offsets) I'm allowed to go in the front without anything interfereing and without having to roll my fenders. Would 18x9 +25 fit up front? So if anyone would be willing to help me answer this probably stupid question it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This is my favorite wheel fitment calculator. It compares wheels not just to eachother, but also to the body work of your car. You'll see that you can enter your own measurements for the fender, wheelwell, suspension and such. Start with your OEM sizes, add your personal measurements, then use the other wheel to test out your desired sizes. Don't forget to consider the budget increase for tires as you get wider and lower in profile, directional tires and staggered are even more expensive since you can't rotate them as much.

Thanks a lot. Just to make sure I'm using it right. I put the stock size in the left colum and the desired size I want in the right colum? And are suspension components already set up for a stock 300zx?

Thanks

Yeah, left is for OEM and right is the comparison setup. The 50 30 50 measurements are just some default for all cars, so you actually have to take a measurement and enter it into the calculator. You can change the units from metric to imperial in the top left area.
