CruxGNZ Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Welcome aboard! You will love this site. Just do a search, there is a lot of info on the biggest combo you can go, with and without coilovers. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Welcome to the forum! The wheel question is only one that can be answered with asking, "what offset do I need" first. The Z has traditionally needed wheels with a zero (or very near zero offset). You cna run those size of wheels you just mentioned IF the offset is correct for the car. I believe Pete Paraska has 16" x 9" wheels on his car, so I think yours should fit fine. If you want to really find out what fits, then use the search function in the forum to scare up all the information you want---you WILL find answers to your questions, with second and third opinions...

Just and FYI, but I have coilovers, and 8" springs at that that put the spring bottom up high on the strut to fit 17x9's on the rear. Check out my site and the "wheels & tires" page for details. I've heard that 16x8s with 235s will fit a Z without coilovers/flares, but use the search button on this forum and you should be able to find an answer.
