Whoa, wait just a minute. All the mods look great but you seemed to have forgotten your The370Z.com sticker.

Hey Danny, looking at the pics it looks like the tires you have seem to be a little wide for the wheels (particularly the 305's). Are the pics just distorted or are the tires a little on the agressive side? You think going 10mm smaller (265/295 combo) would make for a better fit?

DannyGT 06-05-2009 10:31 AM

The 275s in the front looked way more overkill then the 305s in the back...I feel the rears are flush with the rim with minimul buldge.

I actually ended up going 265 in the front because of that actually. They were also a good bit taller. After some research the 265s ended up given me the exact overall height as the rears which was great. They are now visually more equal in profile compared to the rear and the same overall height!

One thing I noticed being so aggressive, was before the corner balancing the rears had almost 2.5-3 inchs of tire that never touched the ground (holy camber batman!). But now that everything is balanced and i have a 2.1ish camber in the rear only like 1-1.5 inch of rubber is not touching unless agressivly turning. So the 305s are great!

Also, its cool to be in the 300's with tires...it commands respect! hehe

But yes, you should be fine with 265/295 no problem!

how far out would those wheels stick out from the fenders if you didn't drop it?

+22 offsets all around?

Would it look just as good with a spings drop or the only way is coilovers?

very sexy car man.

It looks a bit akward without a drop. Take a look at Double Downs picture album, specifically at the one with volks where the rim/tire sticks out a good 1.5-3" outside the fender. That's what it looked like without a drop.

IMHO a simple spring drop would eliminate it. The rims/tires fold in quick when the car is lowered. I'm happy to have taken a risk and shared my story with others because it was worth it. It did rub and the extreme lowered point, alot actually. It's the only offset that you can get with these wheels at this size.

Nice!! I been spotted, first time!

I was reminded how nice the drive to Woodbury is a couple of weeks ago during the royal flush rally I attended. So me and the wife decided to do some shopping and go for a nice drive. Ya I didn't want to take a chance and get dinged by some soccer mom. It was worth it and the guy was extremely nice and said he liked my car so much that he would not park anyone around me. That was worth it enough for me!!

jasonhoutx 06-13-2009 10:58 PM

did you put on any kind of camber kit? those wheels look almost neutral in camber. Impressive for such massive wheels and aggressive drop.

gorillanismo 06-14-2009 02:05 PM

the coilovers gives to the car an awesome look!!!

Also, little update...front fangs, roof, and mid-rear valence will be getting painted flat/satin black. The same satin paint will be coating the insides of my headlights too...Should be done by next week.
