I'm not positive, but I don't think 18's will fit on a ZX, and finding them with the right offset and bolt pattern should be pretty challenging. Are you sure you like wheels that big look on that car? I know 17's look real nice on the first generation Z's, but the ZX's don't look very good with large diameter wheels, IMO.

youll never get 18s to fit but i know 17s will.. your going to have to get wheel spacers to get them to fit.. theres only a few rims i know that have the right offset but good luck finding them.. if you want a big break kit i know that ross coragan from modern-motorsports.com was working on a set for the 280ZX.. go check out his website.. they sell wheel spacers there too.. thats where i went to get mine.. ill have some pics up soon on here showing off my new 17" rims on my 280ZX.....

Wow dude...
I tell ya ice, I like your Z more every time I see it! Something about how clean it looks makes me wish I had the means to repaint mine. What type of wheels are those? They look pretty sharp, and I usually don't like big rims on the ZX. Nice wing btw 
Just noticed...

wow, your car looks very good. The wheels fit with its personality nicely. I like your interrior work too with the silver dash. The shaved markers look great although I would never get away with that around here.
