hey mr. alcheng, dont worry. that's only an opinion from one or a few persons at a publication. only magazine spec racers get biased by these opinions (magazines and videos) and say dumb things as if they know anything about owning a special car. lol

So now Im feeling like I need to purchase some front tires for ZDAYZ. Im currently running a 245 on a 9" wheel up front. Id like to go bigger in the front but arent sure how much bigger I can go. I think a 265 would be much to wide, correct?? Could I get away with a 255 on a 9" wheel?? 255mm converts to just about 10", doesnt seem like it would look right, or am I wrong??? Im trying to make the purchase tonight so quick replies will be greatly appreciated, and repped

You can run a 255/40 on a 9" wheel, but that's the widest that's recommended.

I wanted to run a 255/40 285/35 but it just didn't pan out for me.

So I would ask you guys to talk me out of buying mods, but I'm sure you'll just encourage it. So, what do you recommend I get with a $1100 budget? I still haven't decided if I'm spending it yet but would appreciate some suggestions.

Yeah we are the wrong people to ask Tracie

With 1100 I would either buy intakes and tune it since you have the exhaust already OR buy some Swift Springs and sway bars. I take it the 1100 budget also includes installation costs since you wont be doing the work yourself?? If its 1100 for parts then you could do springs, sways and an intake

Wont see me making any cosmetic recommendations. Im performance all the way

No, you guys are the RIGHT people to ask. Recommendations on an intake?

Like I said, I'm still on the fence about it, but would love to know how far I could stretch the $ if i decided to.

LOL…

Ms.Pintsiz725, you miss the Old Fart, do you, eh?

For $1100, you can do intake, HU, rear fog light, illuminate kick-plate, tints… or save it to your Amuse Big A$$ funds. I forgot, does your Z has spoiler? How about custom plate ”traciz" or "trazie"? And use the rest of the changes to become a premium member here so you will have the 35hp-stickers
