What wheels will fit 300zx NA?

Could potentially be a stupid question, but wondering if anyone could help me figure out what size wheels will fit on a Z32 NA without having to perform fender rolling. I've looked at a lot of info but nothing that definitively answers this particular question(seems a lot of people don't necessarily put aftermarket wheels on without lowering the car) Any information will help and be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

I take it you're not planning on changing the suspension setup then? What's your goal with the new wheels? Performance upgrade or aesthetics?

More aesthetics than anything. The stock wheels are in great shape just would like to put something on there a little bigger. Leaning more towards 18" if possible. Suspension isn't something I have counted out entirely.

The simplest thing then is to find wheels with the same widths and offsets as the original ones. I believe the stock N/A wheels are 7.5x16" +45mm all around. The rear TT wheels are 8.5x16" +35mm. If you wanted to go a little wider in the back, match the TT setup and it'll definitely fit. As for the diameter of the wheels, I personally prefer 17" overall (considering the crappy roads where I live), but 18" is pretty common. I feel like anything larger than 18" is a waste, but I have nothing to back this up.

Good to know. The roads here aren't exactly the greatest here so that is something I will have to consider. I wasn't planning on going any larger than 18" anyways I agree with you about going any bigger. Thanks for the help! appreciate it.
