I run my 295/30r19 hoosier A6 on the stock Rays sport rim (9 inch wide). They're pinched a bit but they don't rub and works very well for me.

315/30-18 Hoosiers on all 4 corners. In all reality the 315 wants a wheel wider than 10" to be happy, but it does work on a 10" wide wheel.

Also don't waste your time with 295's just go to the 315's and call it a day. When I made the switch it was remarkable how much happier the car was.

I will be running G Force Rivals next year and they do come in 315/30/18 so that's good news. What wheels are you using? Bigger is always better! I ran a 275/295 stagger on AD08's and had decent luck but it's time to go wider since I will finally have a dedicated autox set.

The wheels I'm running are Volk TE37SL's.

mdxj · 10-31-2014, 08:53 PM

And those are out of my range right now haha. I have something to shoot for though since a 315 works up front. I enjoy the offseason just as much since it's the only chance I have to build

I don't DD as much any more. Still put miles on it.

Don't forget. I'm running 275's in the front, and 345's in the rear. Mich PSS's.
Front camber at -2, caster at +6, zero toe.
Rear camber at -1.75. Going to change that to -1.5. Toe, a hair in.

Anyone here try having Delrin offset bushings made for the 370z upper control arm? I was thinking about using these instead of camber arms since they are much cheap and work just as well. Just gotta find a shop.

In my experience, custom delrin offset bushings cost more to have made, than the available control arms. If you have a lathe and can DIY that's different - but most of us don't.

That said, I'm surprised ES or Whiteline or Prothane don't have poly bushing kits for our cars? All I see is the diff and subframe stuff. I don't see uprated (but non-metal) bushings for the front or rear lower control arms anywhere?

redline10000 · 11-06-2014, 12:48 PM

I didn't think it would cost more than $150 to get them made but who knows. I can't find a shop in my area to do it. You are right though its shocking how no one is making anything like this for our car. I would really like to see something like this:

Yep - costs for a volume-produced part are going to be a fraction of the one-off price, because the manufacturer gets to spread their design and tooling/setup costs out over a much larger number of parts. To have a fabricator make you one set of bushings, you're looking at $100-200 per unique bushing.
