Rear end, wheels gears, brakes, Hi every one I just bought my 94 z Its a manual and I love it, and now want to modify it. But I don't want the normal or average upgrade no i want to go psycho with this. I want to start a build on here and up date but I need a few things first before I can do that. I will say this I am no expert but I know there are people on here that are or can point me in the right direction. I want to start this build with a total new suspension. This is an anything goes type deal k member, coil overs, A arms, sway bars, but the rear end is what I'm not sure on what to do I will give you my idea and see what you think I want to rip out the stock rear and put a Moser m9 in its place with the Moser torque arm and q1a double adjustable coil overs, panhard bar. What im having trouble figuring out and dont get mad at me but i would like to make 18x10.5 -18x12's work with out having to beat on the wheel wells or tub it and thats not all I want big brakes on the rear too I have no idea how to do this Its screwing up my life LOL I know i will need custom offset wheels and a shortend m9 to do this but as for the rear brakes are concearned I dont have any idea who I can go to for help HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS BEFORE? HELP

To fit a tire that rim that size you would have to have some crazy back space which would make it stick out past the fender or tub the rear.
Big brakes in the back are a waste of money. The back brakes are only supplement to the front brakes. Look at any performance car, they have huge brakes up from and smaller ones out back because its just not needed.

You can probably squeeze some 18x10.5" wheels with 295mm tires back there without mods....I seriously doubt 18x12" wheels would fit without sticking out of the fenders too far looking goofy and still need rolled fenders and BFH mod. FWIW... I needed rolled fenders, had to cut off the bump stops, and the use the BFH mod to fit (properly without rubbing) 17x11" wheels with 315mm tires on my car; it's lowered 1.5" though.
