widebody wheel question

I just purchased a 93 FD with a chargespeed wide body. The car has 19 VOLK's on it now rears +15 but they stick inside too much, I want to sell them and get a set of 18in track wheels instead. My question what is the widest wheel and what is the best offset? the body kit is making this tough for me. thanks for any advice.

I have the same widebody kit and i am using 18x11,5 on the rear with 2cm adapter. so u can go up to 12" max. Take into consideration that the wheel scratch the fender from the inside so you will need very stiff suspension to solve the problem. At least 12kg spring on the rear

i cannot remember the offset of the wheel. The front is 18x9. do not go wider you will damage the lip of the front fenderon full lock.The rear wing is the Re Amemiya GTII carbon wing, the original one, high mounted. It works fantastic after 140kmh. I think the size is 165-170cm.pm if more info needed

The 350z forum is a good spot to look for wheels on a wide bodied FD.
