Best wheel sizes for Z coupe?

How wide are the OEM 17" rims?

What are the best aftermarket wheel sizes to go with?

18x8 up front, 18x9 rear?

Sorry about all the questions, just very new to the Z (considering buying one).

Wow..There's a gaggle of info on this in the wheel/tire/suspension section. It depends on your intended use, style goals, etc. so it's hard to just plain answer the question.

As for the stock 17's, not sure because I have a track, which comes stock with 18's.

I believe the stock 17" are 7½"F/8"R. The stock 18's are 8" F&R, the Track model is 8"F/8½"R.

From reading a lot of the posts here (I'm looking at wheels too) the most popular widths seem to be 8½"F/9½"R. 19" diameter is more popular but a lot of people go with the 18's. That's probably what I'm going to do (NISMO LMGT4).
