Message	So after sitting parked in the garage for 12 years I'm digging the Z out to get her back on the road. My oldest wants to start driving it. He would like the get new wheels and tires that fill out the wheel wells nicely. Looking for some advice on size, offset and tire options. Currently the suspension is Eibach 0.8" drop with Tokico shocks, stock brake calipers. I'm hoping you guys will have some advice on what fits and hopefully some pics to help him choose what he likes. Definitely need to get new wheels as what is on there now are 18 years old and feel like your driving on tires made of wood instead of rubber.
