I have spoken with many different people and read hundreds of website posts, and gotten as many different answers.... the more people tell me/the more i read, the stupider i feel...

I want to buy :
REAR 18x10.5, +27mm offset, 6.8 inches backspacing
FRONT 18x9.5, +40 mm offset, 6.8 inches backspacing
TSW Nurburgring wheels

Can I fit these with minor modifications? rolling, pulling, spacers???

If someone is here who knows their 300zx's can just give me a yay or nay type answer, that would be great.

Sorry for posting something so common, but I'm pulling hairs out trying to comprehend this stuff

I'd like to know this as well. I'm thinking of buying some wheels where the rears will be 10.5 +22 and I'm wondering if I will need to pull the fenders or not with a standard (275 or 285) tire

Do some research on rimtuck.com

I'm running 9.5s with 275 on the rear with stock suspension and a roll and it fits just barely (I don't remember the wheel specs), generally your biggest problems are going to be at the front due to the 4 pot calipers.

I kno this is an older post but ive had 19x9.5 in back and 19x8.5 in front with no clearance issues/rubbing at all. Cant think of the tire size off hand butwas prob bout 1.5 to 2 inches think from the rim to top of tire. Pretty sure im on stock suspension

Here is the current fitment with stock suspension. Exact wheel specs listed above for the Enkei's.
Sticks out a little bit, installing coilovers and doing fender work this week (also installing my kurmaZ full window moulding kit)
