WHAT would be the largest size 17' wheels for a M-Coupe with stock suspension - not tracked - just like the beef and width
Any idea of tire sizes for max width wheel
Thankkz

The widest wheels in stock suspension would be the 17x9" ET30 and 17x10" ET25 ARC-8's, which can be used with 245/40/17 and 275/40/17 street tires. Using a wider 255/40/17 front tire would require camber plates to dial in around -2.5 degrees for proper fender clearance.

I want to do something like this so bad, but I do not have the means to get lower to make this work (which looks to be a very key part in this). But I want that meaty look without having to increase wheel gap.
This is an absolute dream, and this thread will likely be bookmarked until 2 years down the road when said mods will likely come into play.

The 17" ARC-8's are a great alternative for track setups to keep tire costs down and is quickly becoming a popular choice. The meaty tires definitely add a mean look to the Z.
