Default Will These Work on My ZR?

Looking at a set of Enkei,

they have them in 18 inch x 7.5 with a offset in 35mm & 45mm ,

Will this work with my BREMBO brakes?
They say it will......

which do I go 35 front or 45 back or which ???

7.5 is kinda thin. Those offsets are pretty bad. You would have to run atleast a 25mm/30mm spacer on the +35.. And I have no idea if it will even clear the brembos, but I believe it will because of how far the wheel is away from the hub at this point.

Depends on the width of the wheel and your preference for aggressiveness. Look around at pics and find something you like. It will more often than not be A correct size for the Z. Those Enkeis, I say no. Other Enkeis, I say HELL YES.

Oh, and no need for multiple threads. You have one in 350ZRoadster forum too.

Around +20 is pretty common, but then you don't really see anyone running anything less than 8" wide.

If you remove the brake callipers and struts they will be just fine.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
