im not very good with wheel and tire size combination so im looking for some advise. im looking at a set of rims that are 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear. they will go on an 87 300ZX turbo, i just need to know what size tires and wheel spacers would be the best recomendations. thanks for the help.

changed my mind on the sizes. im going with 18x8.5" all 4 corners with 245/40/18 tires. dont think i will need a spacer from what i have read anyway. the rims are WORK VS SS, the tires are going to be TOYO-Proxes T1-R. here is a link to see the rims since i cant figure out how to upload a pic on here.

let me know if you think they will look good, i need more opinions than my own, lol.

If you don't post what offset you're going to be using, there's not way to tell you if you'll need spacers, adpaters, or nothing. Offset is crucial to deciding on fitment.

yea i was thinking about the offset as well but the site i think im going to order them from does not list the offset of the rim. all it says is 18x8.5 3-piece, all car makes. i did try to find the offset but i didnt have any luck. if anyone on here is better at searching that, please do so and let me know what it would be and if i would need spacers. help is always appreciated. heres the link.

i alos cant seem to find many places that sell these rims being that they are real JDM rims. thanks alot.

While the table on the website seems to indicate 18x8.5 ($650 each) is available .. if you click on the link .. the largest wheel is 17x8 ... offsets range:
44 to 47 ..

You might want to check AZ-ZBums site again to check on those offset numbers ..

i double checked my link to the wheels and when you click the link for the 18x8.5 it shows all the work wheels that they sell, now if you get back to that page and scroll down to the work vs ss and click the link that is there it will take you to the link i posted. doesnt matter anyway i found another site to get them from for a little bit cheaper, i emailed them asking what offset the wheels come in, now im just waiting to hear back. ill post the offset size when i hear from the site.
