HI Gang
Im knew to Z World but have always wanted one. I starting my Z adventure like you guys I know I have alot to learn. I must learn to crawl before I walk in the journey thru Z land. I have plenty of time and have a strong mechanical background.
I forgot to say both vehicles were coupes. Will the tire change create any additional headaches.
The chassis/suspension geometry is the same on all Z's from 90 on up, as far as wheels/spacing goes. Meaning, wheels from any z32 are interchangeable with any other z32.
Plus, the same wheels were used on all 300zx's from 90-up.
The wheels came in either chrome or silver, in the following configuration:
Non turbo: 16x7.5 on all 4
Twin Turbo: 16x7.5 front, 16x8.5 rear (staggered)
Only thing you need to be aware of is that the wheels are directional, n/a wheels will have L and R wheels (since they're all 7.5's), and TT's will have FL, FR, RL, and RR wheels (since they're directional AND staggered), keep this in mind when you think about having them rotated. Also obviously, Twin turbo front wheels = non turbo front or rear wheels. It's also a common "upgrade" to find a set of four TT rear wheels, and run 8.5's on all four corners.
Come on Kandy, sarcasm never works in writing. Give the guy a break. He's just looking to learn.
The “no” answer provided by Kandy is incorrect. In fact the TT rears can be used all around on any Z32. The wheels are specific to each side of the car though so keep that in mind. Just look at the spokes on the stock wheels and you'll see what I mean.
yea...i was just saying no more headaches can occur from changing the tires/wheels. If a headache does occur....insert bullet into chamber and get rid of headache!

Ive got 4 more oem wheels, want em?
Thanks but no thanks. Between the three cars and winter /summer tires, you should see the stack of wheel/tires I have around my house. Looks like a NASCAR pit.
I had 4 TT's(8.5) and 3 NAs(7.5). I wanted one more NA so that I could run full NA wheels. Finding one wheel was kindda a PITA. But a deal popped up 4 for 150. So I jumpped on it. This way I could at least still carry a full size spare and not have it be a 245.
I have heard the the well for a 2+2 is larger, that is why the coupe needs a spare tire inflator. Full size fits fine in mine. I did have to fab a longer hold down bolt to secure it.
But... Ballistic seem to have had one in his cargo area when he was out in Reno.
