title says it all, but:
I would just like to know if all of either set would clear coilovers, I don't want a half & half setup.
thanks

Z32 non turbo = 16X7.5, +45...need to limit tir size, but may still rub.

S14 SE = 16X6.5, +40...also need to limit tire size.

Full set Z32 TT rear wheels, 4 @ 16X8.5, +35 = Will fit but need to run skinny tires up front.

I'd reccomend stock sized tires (205/55-16s) on either the 300ZX N/A wheels or the S13 SE wheels...

I had 16X7.5, +35 with fat 225/50-16s and they rubbed on the springs...

It really depends on the tire and wheel you choose.
