Hey guys, I recently purchased some rims and tires but my rim shipment had some issues so I’m stuck with tires and no rims.
I was wondering what rims would accommodate a 1994 Z without any modifications? The tire sizes are 255/40R17
315/35R17 for the front and rear
Respectfully. The original rims ordered were Welds 17x9 +45 and 17x11 +43. That’s what the company said would fit without altering anything. I lost my money on those so I would like something cheaper that I can slap my tires on and run with. Thanks!

You can play with back tires .
You should keep same back spacing on front .
maybe a little wider if clearance is good .
but you widen front wheel base your steering will slow and youl have trouble with blowing steering pump line loosening and dumping fluid you might try 255 fronts .
I think the line it self is to small is why its got to much back pressure to widen wheel base
you can tighten it but it will keep loosening
but dont change back spacing 16-17 came on super sports with no problems
should be a fax on tires and wheels in the forums

Hey thanks for the reply. So the fronts that I have are 255 so I guess that’s what you considered good? Also I was wondering about brands that would have rims to accommodate the tire sizes mentioned(other than weld). I just want some cheaper rims so I can be able to use the tires without modifications
