Not to mention tire to fender/fender liner clearance will be an issue. The Z32's really seem to like 245 - 255 front tire widths on a 8.5-9" wide wheel, giving a nice balance of crisp turn-in response while avoiding paralyzing understeer on lightly modified suspensions or near factory settings. 265's would be a decent option but are non-existant on 17" front wheel setups, but are readily available on 18" wheels (265/35/18 matches well with a 275/35/18 rear). Anything wider is for the stance boys & girls on that setup, if that's your thing. I have yet to see a 10.5"+ wide rear wheel on a Z32 without excessive camber settings or modified quarter panels, or both. I have seen a 10" wide wheel on some Z32s depending on the offset, without modification or silly settings, but it seems like 10" wide wheels are becoming rare. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop (Oxford Gray Metallic) 1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Gunmetal Gray) - Long Live the Z and Godzirra! - "Love cars.
