man people need to do some thinking....

They camme out stock with 16s, so yes 16s will fit.

300zx are a good cheap rim
16x7.5 +45 (bad offset for track/drift)

r32 gtr
16x8 +20ish (better choice)

but 16s wont cut it for drifting.
People need to realise for drifting you need high grip, not low grip. 17s min, and in a heavy car 18s are the go. And you need a minimum of 9 inch to fit any decent sized tyre on there without getting massive side wall bulge (read sloppy car)

18x9.5s on my car only cost about $1200 a set brand new too

TT's have bigger front discs and brake calipers that some wheels will not clear. My standard spacesaver wheel will not fit on the front since I changed to TT brakes.

i have had R32 GTS-T rims on my car and they fit fine, if you want 17" wheels, go for R34 or late model Maxima rims. they are both 17 x 7.5's and know there are no issues. i currently have 16 x 7.5 on the front and 16 x 8.5 rear. no issue clearing the big brakes, however when i move to 8 pot 325mm rotors, that is another issue :-)

Ive got 16x8 50+ RX7 alloys.

Love them to bits, doesn't make the car stand out, they handle great with the Yoko S Drive Tyres too and were not overly expensive.

17s from a GS300 would be nice which I might get sometime but you can go wrong with other OEM factory wheels! Quality and the right offset/center ring size :-)

don't quote me 100% but i think it is a J31. my friend got a set when he owned an older maxima for like 50 bucks a wheel brand new. the chap drove from nissan to the tire place and got them changed to like 20's or something. 350z rims would fit, but hardly anyone changes them

otherwise (sounds crazy) but new corolla rims go straight on, might be a cheaper option (then you can call them "factory" rims because they say toyota) lol. :-)
