maybe you kids should read up on the ramifications of putting such large wheels and tires on to your vehicle. Have a gander at my thread, Suspension 101.

Okay...that write up sure helps me...if I am a drift racer and autocrosser. I think that most of people are not racing thier car s on a regular basis but are simply trying to get a look on their cars so I don't get the total point but part of me agree's with that write up at the same time. Stock springs and suspension are likely not going to benefit from a set of large wheels. However, if you upgrade these components at the same time to an adjustable suspension system it is perfectly viable to use larger wheels. Not bike tires but wider and larger wheels to compensate the loss from a smaller wheel used with the car originally. As well most of these 1990-96 300zx cars are showing serious wear in the suspension and the upgrade is good timing as is a new set of wheels. Get rid of the sag, stiffen the suspension and make it adjustable so you can set it up the way you need to. If you go to a 17 or bigger, simply go wider if you can. My .o2
