I have a 260Z that has been lowered about 1.5 to 2 in. I would like to have 17 in wheels put on my car but am not sure what, if anything else needs to be done to the car to make it not rub.

Bad260Z,

17" wheels work just fine on the Z car. If you have a stock spring setup you will likely need to stay with a 7" wide wheel. Any wider and you will likely need to convert to a coilover setup. Basically, the coilover setup uses a smaller diameter spring which allows for a wider wheel. You will have offset to consider as well. A stock issue Z wheel has a "0" offset. Since most of the 17" wheels are designed for front wheel drive cars and have built in offset, you will likely need to use spacers to compensate for the offset in the 17" wheels. Hope this steers you in the right direction. Also, you may want to browse the site's forum archives for posts on this subject .

Don't forget to install new bumpstops. Being lowered two inches will give you little room for suspension travel.
