Help with tires and rims for my Z32

[maxZpak]

Hey guys I was wondering whats the widest rims and tires i can go with for my 1990 Z32 turbo. And is there spacers available if wanted to go wider? And suggestions would be appreciated thanks!!

[nsrZ32]

I've seen 10" and 10.5" out back with stock body and just a rolled fender. How much power do you plan on making to need wider than that?

[maxZpak]

well my car does not have much power now only have an SAFC, 740 injectors, a cat back exhost, and a greddy boost controller than i need to fix because i have noticed that the Greddy bust controll valve the wires were burned by the fire wall and now i need to run new wires to it.. and there were no hoses that ran from the boost valve to the the relief valves and the solender valves???? so Im guessing i need to run them am i correct?? or are they not needed? I dunno for sure... But anyways about the rims and tires.. I am going to be looking for 18s and im guessing 10.5 would be nice for the back what about the front >> 9.5? my fenders are stock. and i want them to be deep dish kinda or kinda like the ones on ur car those look great. Do you guys have any deals on rims / tires?

ya i've looked at some of those they look cool. do u know what the bold pattern is for the 300zx?

[NSR_s30]

300ZX

'90-'96 16 X 7.5 5X114.3 12mm X 1.25

[nsrZ32]

^ NA's were 16 x 7.5 all the way around

TT's had 16 x 7.5 up front and 16 x 8.5 out back

[maxZpak]

so if I get 18x9 (front) and 18x10 (rear) that would be alright?

nissan in japan recomends 9-1/2 and 8-1/2. 10 will put you at really wide tires with high cost with no real gain. more choices on 275 than 285 and 295. so 275 will generally be cheaper.i got bfgoorich gforces on mine. low cost 600 for the set mounted. 285 would put me in a higher priced brand. for nothing really. 9-1/2 an 8-1/2 work great no rubbing

ps eliminate your hicas steering first or you will rub. and do a +30 offset front with 35+ offset rear. that's what i got. big room for bigger breaks and calipers and still got that bmw deep look

[maxZpak]

alright sounds good thanks for the help!

Lol My bad, got that off a website. I assumed the TT's ran a little bigger in the back

I personally love the enkei 5 spokes, like the rc5 or rs5's

What about an offset of +33 front and +43 rear? or is that too much?

[Zak427]

your offset changes with the width of your wheel expinentially.....(if i spelled that right). http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html

use this sight to find the wheels size you want. then go to a place like discount tire. use their computer softeware to calculate the best possible offset for you..just ask for the lowest possible offset. as close to zero as possible. that will give you that deep german wheel look. like bmw without rubbing

How do I eliminate the Hicas sistem? Do i need the Stillen Hicas Eliminator? and is it easy to install?

[WidebodyZ]

Or get some over fenders and the sky is the limit:

[NSR_s30]

I still can't get over the dish on those wheels.

yes you do need it. i dunno if it's easy to install. mine is a na twin conversion project right now. so i never had to deal with it.

what the stock size for the 300zx stock rims.. The non turbo wheels is it the same size tires as the turbo..
