so i finally got size of rims i wanted....
kosei k1 racing 4 bolt
16x7.5 up front
16x8.5 in the rear

i brought my car to wheel and tire zone so they can take some measurements..and advised them that i had 300zx twin turbo calipers up front, and they did not seem worried about these rims fitting on my car and did not bother measuring anything?..in any case i had them write on my bill...for use with 300zx tt calipers...cause that is the reason why i need new rims in the first place cause they don't fit over the calipers...any way hopefully they know what they are doing...are they very knowledgeable there? anyone had any experiances with them? i wanted to support our solo 1 sponsors.

one change already.. 8.5 no longer made..so i will have to go with 7.5 all the way around....

245's will fit easy on 7.5 right?
anyone?

245s are about the MAX I'd put on a 7.5 inch rim though; check with your tire manufacturer on that one.

245s are generally aimed at the 8.5 inch wheel....225 is the ideal size for 7.5 inch wheels.
