300zx wheel fitment issues? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey, I know this topic has probably been discussed before but my search yielded no real answer so here is my question. For all you guys running 300zx TT wheels, what tire sizes do you run up front? i ask because i was going to buy a set of wheels off a friend of mine, and everything fits but the front tire (225/50(I think)ZR16) rubs on the suspension all the time. Not a lot, but enough that it's not ok to drive. I believe, however, that the tires had a 50 A/R, so i was wondering what tires y'all run to clear stock suspension. Thanks guys.

Gotta do 205/55-16, or get some spacers.

Those front wheels (and Z32 N/A wheels, all four) are 16X7.5, +45...horrible offset for an S14

The rears are 16X8.5, +35...if it's cheaper than spacers, you could always look for another pair of rear wheels to use up front with a 225/50...it'll stretch the sidewall a little more and clear everything.

I run the TTzx wheels on all four corners and have no problems. Then again I have 20mm spacers up front, because they rubbed on my stock suspension and on my HE's.
