depends on how wide a rim you want to go with...

the head · 07-08-2004, 10:59 AM

my thought was 7s up front and 9s in the rear

I'd go 9's at least front and rear, 16 or 17in. You can go 10' in the rear with over fenders such as your no problem. Offsets, depends. How much camber do you want to run? Whats the intent?

car will be primarily street and road racing focused planning on using custom made kodiac wheels just deciding what i will need how big of rims do you need for 300zx brakes? IIRC it is a 16 in minimum

If you are going to use a 16" wheel make sure the front wheel has a high pad to clear the Z brakes. That or use a big ass spacer.
