Hey guys. Just wanted to say hi in here, I am getting my 2nd 240z now. I had one a couple years ago, and really regret getting rid of it......hence getting another one lol.

Anyways I had a question for the classic Z guys. What is the widest tire/rim I can put on the front with 5" of backspacing?

That is just something that I personally don't know myself and haven't been able to find. Also it is some info I need for the upgrades/build to come lol.

with the stock struts you can fit an 8" with 5" of backspace you clearly have or intend to add coil overs, unfortunately it only gives you an extra inch or so, a 9 should fit, diameter becomes an issue as well as ride height os it really is a car to car issue
