@@xploration1437 meh just keep up your maintenance and you’ll be fine. Especially if it’s na. I daily mines :) The tt vg has its drawbacks but z32s are reliable providing you take care of them.
@@syhawa627 believe it or not, if properly maintained and tuned well, the tts are actually far more reliable than the nas, especially if it's in the 350-500hp range
Perfect timing with this video. I am currently in the marked for some new wheels for my z32. Knew what sizes i wanted but i was confused on what off set to go with. God has answered my prayer. Thx guys!
Great to see such informative content getting out there without having to scour the forums! What about the 5th wheel, though? The low-profile spare tire for these older cars doesn't last forever and is hard to replace these days. Recommendations?
My plan is as follows, lmk what you think: 1990 JDM 300ZX TT manual with 13-piece twinz widebody kit Volk Te37 time attack 18x10.5 +22 square setup with Toyo T1 Proxes 275-35-18 I think it'll look pretty sick.
My setup is going to be a little similar. I've got a 1991 2 + 2 naturally aspirated of course. Going with the same wide body kit. I am still undecided on the wheels though. I've got the body kit sitting in the garage while I'm saving up the money to get it put on and painted the color I want as well as interior work. But I'm definitely going to slide some other 10 and a half inch or 11 inch tires in the back. Maybe nine and a half to 10 inches up front. Going for a staggered setup. I kind of like those ESR cs-15s. But then again I am a sucker for wheels that have fewer spokes. Like three spokes or five smokes or six. Four just looks weird to me. If I could ever get a pair of Yokohama super Advan sa3rs custom made to my taste without destroying my bank account or costing almost as much as the paint job is going to cost me. I would do those wheels within a heartbeat. Edit: also I was going to do a twin turbo conversion. But I'm still bouncing between that idea or an LS or LT swap. Yeah yeah I know. Everybody's sick of LS swaps. Unfortunately the LS motor is stupidly cheap and makes a lot of power and very small and is stupidly easy to work on. Seems like a no-brainer. Not to mention it can pump out 600 horsepower while still being naturally aspirated. I figure about 625 as my goal horsepower and if I can do it with as much reliability as possible and fewer moving parts as possible. Why not? It'll be cheaper to maintain and if something breaks on it parts are every goddamn where for super cheap.
+38 is fine. +22 is actually a bit too low and will nearly always require rolling/fender modification to fit. The object is to not roll/pull fenders or quarter panels on any car if you can help it as it takes away from the structural rigidity of the fender/quarter panel to resist impact and anything leaning up against the surface, and spacers pull the center of the wheel further from the centerline of the hub bearing, creating uneven pressure an wearing the bearing out more quickly. The Z32 can handle up in the low to mid 40's for offsets depending on wheel spoke and brake caliper design, and the mid to high 30's are normally close to perfect fitment or only require a tiny spacer without the need to stretch tires or fender/quarter panels, nor roll them. 10" or wider wheels will require a more aggressive offset +20~30, but this greatly depends on which subframe is under the rear of the car, as the TT has less clearance for wider wheels than the NA due to the hicas 4WS components. In the end, it's your car, have fun.
@@jeremysteib8378 thank you very much for the informative reply. I myself do not wish to roll or stretch fenders. Was a bit worried when the video recommended +25 to +35. Again, I greatly appreciate your answer and clarification.
I was thinking about the same setup for my z but they are bbs lm’s lol i was a bit scared if it would fit 18x9.5 +38 but im happy someone clarified this ! Thank you again @jeremy

@@slicktop2jz855 I actually took all of my measurements, to make sure they would fit. Regardless of who you are at one point you'll doubt your own measurements
ive been heavily considering the first setup, 18x9.5 +22 on 255/40...will the ride be fine on stock suspension (no coilovers)? no rubbing or fender rolling?
I have a 1990 300zx tt 18x9.5 infront with 255/35 18x10.5in the rear with 285/35 Only problem I had was in the front because my break calipers where rubbing a little bit. But quick fix with a small spacer or grinder
20 will work on the front. Would only work with about an 8.5 rim/ 245 tire on the rear. Z32 needs more offset on the rear 30/35 to fit 265 tiers or more
I got 18x9.5 +20 on my Z and with the natural camber from lowering the car and a set of 235/40s it is very flush. Needs a roll but that’s to be expected for the offset tho. Mind the tire size, my wheels came with 275s mounted and they poked all ugly
Today my tires blow up (literally all 4 tires) but since my z have the stock wheels maybe it was a signal to to buy the a set wheels and tyres, so this video couldn’t be better haha
hey can you get me some 15s? I know it fits ive talked to other z owners. and the Diablo actually has nissan headlights they put a little carbon thing to cover the nissan logo in the glass
I'm a big z32 guy, pushed the limits with: 18x10 +45 with 305 35 18 r888 tires 19x10.5 +50 with 305 30 19 r888 tires Never a fan of wide wheels/thin tires on a modded TT car
Has anyone fitted 15" rally wheels on these cars? Chris Forsberg used Z32 calipers on his Z34 with custom brackets but does the Z32 need custom brackets and new rotors to fit 15 inch wheels?
Did you say legend has it? You mean its not common knowledge that the later Lamborghini Diablo used the Nissan 300ZX headlights? Car companies sharing parts is a very old practice.

Just use a stock wheel. Tow the car if the rolling diameter is too far out. Spacesavers are useless.

Sounds great! I’d run a smaller tire in the front tho. Don’t need that much width up front for a lot of reasons. Maybe a 245?
The right answer is at 3:40
Gels looks cooked haha
So I’d have to roll my fenders to fit +22?
I’m gonna get a z32 this year so I clicked on this video instantly
I was just looking for wheels for my 300zx! I was confused on what size to use lol
This is a great idea. I wish there was a video like this for a 1969 Firebird.
Thank you for this video
this vid definitely helped. Thanks!
I JUST FUCKING BOUGHT ONE A MONTH AGO. God bless you guys 👏

Check out our gallery! You’ll see what others are running with wheel specs and fitment specs! -> www.fitmentindustries.com/wheel-offset-gallery?year=1987&make=Nissan&model=300ZX&sort=date
Pls make a video of the z31
Jels high afff lmao
Broooo I just said the same thingg
I’m just over here like I got a z31 😢
Rx7 fc specs work good on that car you can even fit a lot of the body kits too.
Z31s are dope bro I want one so bad. There’s a super clean one that sits over by where we send our work fleet vehicles for maintenance
What about running 370Z OEM 19 inch staggered setup?
The bolt patterns are the same! It just depends how wide the wheels are to make sure they fit!
Now do these fit over the large front calipers?
U might need a 22mm spacer..
Just custom ordered some 19x9+20 and 19x10+20, picking them up on Wednesday so I hope they fit 🤞
Orders rims and doesnt know if they even fit...smh...
@@slicktop2jz855 lol...breaking news: they’re gonna be a nightmare. 18’s people.
3:40 is the right answer.

18x9.5 +38 with 265/35r18 will fit all the way around with 3-5mm spacer on the front wheels
Ayyyy that thumbnail is Houston Coffee and Cars in Memorial City Mall!!!
Yeah I was surprised to see my car as the thumbnail lol
ive been heavily considering the first setup, 18x9.5 +22 on 255/40...will the ride be fine on stock suspension (no coilovers)? no rubbing or fender rolling?
Hey , So do all 300zx have to have staggered wheels , or can you have same size all the way around ?
turbos do. NA not.
The z does not share its headlights with the lambo. The lambo uses z headlights. They are even marked Nissan.
I have a 1990 300zx tt
18x9.5 infront with 255/35
18x10.5in the rear with 285/35
Only problem I had was in the front because my break calipers where rubbing a little bit. But quick fix with a small spacer or grinder
What was offset on ur rims?
HELL YEAH!
Im currently looking at this 300zx and i was wondering what wre the best wheels and rims if i wwnted ti drift it
Work Wheels!
Has anyone ran a 20 offset for there z32
20 will work on the front. Would only work with about an 8.5 rim/ 245 tire on the rear. Z32 needs more offset on the rear 30/35 to fit 265 tiers or more
I got 18x9.5 +20 on my Z and with the natural camber from lowering the car and a set of 235/40s it is very flush. Needs a roll but that’s to be expected for the offset tho. Mind the tire size, my wheels came with 275s mounted and they poked all ugly
Didn’t know this car could fit such wide boys with ease
I just bought Kanseis 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 + 12. Will this be good? I wanted the extra on the rear. Fenders are all rolled
Nope they will stick about 1 inch outside the rear guards
So what would be the the right offset so it won't stick out
Just got my z32 na 2+2 thank the lord Jesus. Thanks god belss
I don't get why you guys haven't done any what wheels fit on mustangs. I'm pretty sure that car is extremely common for buying wheels on your site
Hell yeah ! :D
Where's the 240 at?

Might be ok with standard calipers, original Z32 wheels are 16"
Z31 though?!?)
Z31 please…
WRONG ?LAMBO BOUGHT THEM FROM NISSAN 300ZX
4:48 @jimmyoaks
Why does every wheel setup in this video have a rolled and/or pulled fenders? What about fitments that doesn't have a rolled and/or pulled fender.
+25-38 offset don't require rolling fenders
Back on this video after buying 300zx
It always hurts to see these cars in black.
I feel it detracts from how great their rears are.
I actually think the black ones look great. Usually ones with jdm taillights look even better
I have a black one, and the only bad thing is that it looks dirty 5 mins after washing it.
Did you say legend has it? You mean its not common knowledge that the later Lamborghini Diablo used the Nissan 300ZX headlights? Car companies sharing parts is a very old practice.
