To splitter or not to splitter, that is my question

jchammond · 12-09-2017, 12:23 AM

My Invo’s Like the warmer weather more than the cooler (Above 50*),
With 13k miles & almost 10 mos. on a set; front’s are a solid 8/32” tread,while the rears are 1-2/32”... heavy foot could have played a role in this.
Don’t forget about a traction device in your differential...plenty of options on the stick-shift cars....an open diff can be un-predictable.

The reason I was asking about the splitter is that I like the way they look and it would be a nice cosmetic change as well to get the Z to not look so "stock". I don't want to waste money on things that really won't be helpful though. If I can get a splitter or lip for $300-400 and it will eventually be beneficial to my setup then I may do it just for the looks at this point.

Regarding my desire for run flats.... I would like to get run flats just for my daily driving so I don't have to carry and/or have to use the donut tire that they call a spare. With a run flat, I feel I'd have a better chance of getting to a tire shop or at least to a safer stopping area or possibly even home without have to try to change a tire on the freeway or on some two lane rural road.

Thank you again for your feedback. I am really new to this stuff and so much appreciate the feedback I am receiving. I did try to research the splitter on my own but couldn't really find specific threads regarding them.

If you’re really wanting run flats; they offer 7 different ones,,,that’s in the stock diameter sizes that I run on my base wheels (245/45,275/40’s) they fit nicely on the base 18x8,9” Wheels.

Aero is always last. Tires, brakes, coilovers, swaybars and adjustable arms before you start delving into that area. What good is aero if you dont have the tires or suspension to actually make use of it.

Keep your base wheels your DD wheels, and get another set for track wheels.

Im running a whatever setup of allseasons on the base, 225/45/18 and 245/40/18. My daily commute is about 90mi a day, no sense spending good money on tires that you burn out.

My Track / Funtime tires are 275/35/19 and 285/35/19 on a 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 wheels. They sit in the garage until its party time.
