DDM Project 370Z

Thanks Mike,

What's the chance of rubbing when fully loaded at the track (especially if slightly lowered on coilovers), or is this more of a show setup?

So I take it the fitment over the calipers was ok?

M.Bonanni

To be honest I have no clue about rubbing at the track. The answer to that is just going to be figured out by trial and error hahaha. I think it should be fine though. Most of the extra inch will be added to the inside of the wheel, not the outside.

Fitment over the calipers was fine.

A little trial and error is fine as long as I can correct it

So now I just need to decide if 11 or 12" is the way to go in the rear.

M.Bonanni

Sure thing. I should know the answer to that in a few weeks.

11" is the way to go in my opinion. 12" is too big for anything practical. Even if it fit you couldn't fit a wide enough tire up front to match how big you would have to go in the rear. There would be too much stagger IMO. I personally am going to go with a 275 front 285 rear which I think will be a great setup for the track on the 370Z. I simply don't think the car has enough power or speed to warrant a bigger tire setup than that. There is such a thing as having too much tire.

285 on an 11" rim?

Edit..

To bounce back over to this thread, I was looking at (now) 275/35R18 on 10" fronts and 315/30R18 on 11" rear, they're nearly identical in revs per mile. The 285's I saw (on the PS2's I'm looking at) are specced for 9.5-10.5 rims, 10 being the norm. Just seemed odd to me, I'm curious about the rationale behind 285 on the 11 rear.

Actually I would really want a 11.5" but that's not an option. Yes the stagger is a concern, I want to keep the stagger to less than 40mm (30mm would be better). The initial plan is for a 275 front and a 315 rear, but I can get good deals on Hoosier scrubs that might be one size wider.
