when i first slammed my maxi i had 15x7s in the rear with 185/75 and they rubbed with weight in the back, i had to roll the fenders too cause the sidewalls were rubbing too. now i have 175/65s on and its pretty clear. im planning on buying some 15x8s deep dish or somthing so the lip will poke out on the backs. i have the stock 280zx rims on the front with 195/60 and with rolled fenders they only rub on extreme turns, the clearance is about 1 or 2 playing cards thick but thats with cut front springs and bad shocks lol.
i would even do 16x8s on the rear with some 185/55s or somthing, i wouldnt do any rims bigger than 16 though
heres pics with the 185/75s
and how it sits now with 175/65s in the back 195/60 front

oh yeah, and make sure your tension rods up front aren't trying to slot themselves after 1500 miles of being slammed, they don't take too kindly to being low low, the geometry is all ****ed when lower than stock >1 inch. don't want one of them ***** coming loose at 70 mph like mine did. other than that, you 2 guys have some sexy lowered maximas (but I did beat you to it!!!). I wish I still had mine, but I'm loving my z31 now.

it's an 87' NA, 2 seater, t-tops, black / blue cloth interior, 5MT. it does have the turbo trans and CLSD rear out of a shiro special. 220k miles and still going strong. I have a bunch of maintenance in it to keep it going: starter, alternator, front main seal, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, rear wiring harness, z32 fuel filter, ngk plugs + accel yellow wires, sleepy eye headlight mod, wheel bearings all around, wheel studs, new MAF, autozone intake kit LOL, radiator, all cooling system hoses, all belts, ball joints, tie rods, brembo BBK kit up front, HID kit with some crap *** REALLY BLUE bulbs that I'm hating right now, tokico strut and spring kit, all clutch hydrualics replaced, z32 / q45 brake master cylinder, steel braided brake lines, recovered door panels, custom home-made shift boot, jvc head unit, 4 alpine 6'' speakers, 10'' alpine sub, kenwood 300w amp.
sectioned strut tubes, vw rabbit inserts, and custom wound springs with custom fab. spring perches / seats coming soon for a nice SLAM.
oh and I have some jeep steel wheels
I pulled out of the junkyard for $50 that are 17x9 -30

those rims are cool, would look good VIP style
thought this was cool, a guy on a local forum was showing me pics of his R32 GTR and in one of the pics i thought something was familiar, his friend has a 1st gen
might ask if i can see it

The good news is with the exception of the Max wagon, most suspension & brake mods for the 280ZX will work perfectly on the 1st Gen Max.

In addition to my Nissans,I also have a '49 Ford that's bagged,so I'm not against lowered cars.But,too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.I see these ricers bottoming out,tearing up tires,and just looking plain stupid.If it's your daily driver,you can get real tired of driving something like that.
BTW,nice Maxi's.
