Big wheels for 2nd gen
Big wheels for 2nd gen
New guy here.
Call me ROADZ, but don't call me computer savvy.
Lookin' to find out if anyone out there has installed 17's or 18's on a second gen factory Z. To date the rear fender lips have been turned up and the bulge required for the rear seat belt mount has been hammered a bit. Factory rear brakes. The front has the old Herb Adams koni shocks, the springs have been cut by a 1/2 a coil but everything else is factory.
I've owned the car for 27+ years so if someone needs more details I can certainly provide answers.
Sorry if this has been covered in prior threads but like I said, I'm not much of a computer guy and although I tried the "search" route I came up empty.
Thanks.

Re: Big wheels for 2nd gen
I too have 17x8 all the way around with tt2's. I am getting tire rub on the front inner fender when I go over a large bump to fast or if I am turing aggresively. This is probably due to worn out 25 year old springs. I would also go with a wider tire in back.
