Message Tire and wheel fitment depends on one thing and one thing only: Wheel off set

Yes, things like caliper clearance do play a role as well, but 99% of the "will it fit" questions can be checking wheels X wide with Y off set.

Not so much you sandplasma, this could be the first time you've asked, but this question gets asked daily, and IMO, there needs to be a sticky with wheel sizes and off set ranges which work with 300ZXs.

I can tell you that I have 18x8.5 (+33mm) and 18x10 (+40mm) O.Z. Superleggera III wheels, Toyo Proxes T-1S rubber in 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. I have some slight rubbing in the rear, because I really should have got a +45mm off set with 18x10 wheels.

Up front you'll be fine, I think you'll be fine in the back as well. I had Eibach springs and OEM TT struts.

When you lower, you'll need either adjustable upper arms, or a 300° camber compensation kit.
