I have a '92 Q. I'm looking for 300zxTT wheels. If anybody knows someone who is selling, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it recommended to have have the 16X8.5's all around or can I get away with the 16X7.5's up front?

Check with any of the shops that specialize in the Z32. They take them off and replace them with bigger wheels. The Z32 crowd doesn't seem to value these wheels very much. I got mine for $400 for the set and the shop was happy to see them leave.

Go with the 8.5" in front and rear. Both ends of our car is big.

Also use 255/50 - 16 tires if you can find them with the proper load rating.

Kumho 255/50x16 are 99 (!) load rated. My local Discount Tire has them in stock!

The 255's will fit on the narrower rim just fine. I have access to a set of 300ZX N/A rims (16x7.5) if anyone's interested.

Shows you what I know -- I didn't know the Z32 rims were the TT rims. I had supposed we were talking about another alternative -- I had never heard them called that before.

i know of a stock set (7.5&8.5), but they are white. They have been professionally painted and don't seem to have any flaws.
