hey guys if I get 18x9.5 and 17x8.5 front rims for a z would they fit fine on a stock 90 z turbo? and what should the offset be for those size rimes or if those dont fit than 18x8.5 and 17x7 front would that work fine? or would it be better with 18x8.5 back and 18x7 or 18x7.5 fronts. what should the offset be on those?

First off, you don't want anything skinnier than a 7.5" rim as even the NA's had 7.5" rims stock.

Secondly, a staggered setup of 17 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 rear will fit just fine. That's what I've run on mine all along. They will work with stock suspension or upgraded suspension.

As for offsets, I posted up a listing a little while ago of what they need to be for particular sizes to allow clearance. Depending on where you buy your wheels from, and if they're quality wheels, the seller should be able to provide you with info as to whether they will fit or not.
