dont even bother with a 7.5 width, it would look goofy as hell.

and i think only 5X114.3 fits our Z

not sure about offset because that varies with the diameter and width of the wheel i believe.

if you want something that fits good,

here's a recommended setup:

front: 18x8.5 +35 tire: 245/40/18rear 18x9.5 +35 tire: 275/35/18

well, that's if youre going staggered.

You need a wheel with s bolt patern of 5x114.3 7.5" is too skinny. I to recomened 18x8 for the front and 18x9 or 9.5 for the rear with a +35 off set.

Those wheels will fit, they are same width as stock NA wheels. And are similar to NA offest (45mm) as well. BUT, like itZjoker mentioned, they will look very skinny in a 18" diameter, IMHO. I would go minimum 8.5" wide for a 18" dia wheel.

Whats the widest wheels that could fit on a z32 without looking ridiculously stupid? i found some carbon fiber wheels that go up to 10.5 http://superbuytires.com/Forgiato/Maglia/ i think z32s look amazing sitting on wide tires and i just want ya'll's opinion.. if i got em i'd stagger 10 on the front 10.5 on the rear

How do you know about offsets? could you just explain the general idea of them please? would 9.5 F and 10 R fit? or is 9.5 as big as i can go?

offsets are a wonderful science once you master it, you're game gets elevated many levels.

Im making a widebody kit, using spacers, is it relatively easy to setup tires that stick out at least 5 inches from outside of the cars original body?

what are the maximum wide, key numbers that fit? anyone like doing homework :p

using spacers will increase your scrub radius, and to get 5 inches the car would be practically undrivable, you need to read and learn before you post

9will fit front 10.5 rear, 11 with hical elimination
