Just picked up a 91 300ZX 2+2 in desperate need of new tires. Currently has stock wheel and tire size (225/50/16) which looks pretty wimpy to my eye. I want to fill up the wheel wells more. For the time being I'll stick with the stock 16" wheels, though I'm not really a fan of the look. For those of you that have upsized tires on stock wheels I'm wondering what size you've got and if you have any clearance issues. Thanks!   

Pretty car. Looks to be in pretty good condition.

Next to the S30’s, the absolutely best looking Z ever made.

Thanks for the kinds words guys. "Diseazd" is that your Z32? Tire size? I realize that Classic Z may not be the best place to solicit input on Z32 models but thought I'd try.

Yep she’s mine. Everything stock….225-50-16’s.

I don't mind the stock wheels. They look right to me...

Considering going to either 245/55/16 or 245/60/16 to fill the wheel well up a bit but would like to see what they'd look like and know if there would be any rubbing lock to lock.

I would call Z1 Motorsport in Georgia (770 838 7777). They’ll know what will fit. Rob Fuller at Z Car Garage would know as well.

Will ring them tomorrow. Thanks for the referral.

When putting up new tires... watch the BIG L and R on the RIM's  Take a good look at the wheels of the silver one.. those front wheels where put on the wrong side of the car!  (Design is a left and a right one!)

These non turbo's have 2 different wheels  iirc they end on 05 and 10  where the Twin turbo has even 4! different wheels, they end on 05 10 15 and 20!  As the rears are wider! (orig. tires are 225/50zr16 on the non turbo and on front of the twin turbo. rear's on the twin are 245/45zr16's )

At "bring a trailer" there is the "wheel police" Haha 🤣  Always making a lot of noise about the wheels on wrong!

A Nissan 300zx twin turbo is one of the few cars that have 4 DIFFERENT wheels on!!  Even a Porsche 911 does not have that! (as far i know..)

This would be a left hand wheel but Porsches have these also on the right side ... 😢

This is my second Z32, and I had never heard that before dutchcarguy. Very interesting trivia the turbo having four unique wheels, CRAZY!!! Thank you for the education. Certainly don't ever want to get on the wrong side of the BaT trolls😄.

Damn @dutchzcarguy……..I won’t be able to sleep at night knowing that!  My guess is the brakes won’t fry though. @Randalla and @dutchzcarguyI’m with you both, the BaT trolls love to show you how smart they are……they need to “get a life”.
