Wheels and Tire for Turbo

370Stealth · 12-22-2017, 12:34 PM

What's up Z Fam,

I am in need of some advise for my turbo'd Z.

I currently have OEM Ray wheels and I'm looking for tires that are good for little track use but mostly streets. Worst case scenario, I don't get new wheels so I will stick with OEM rays and put new sticky tires. through research, I found that 305 rear and 265 in front is a good setup. But I could use your advise, and if you think new wheels will give me better options for tires please explain and recommend.

thank you!

Wheels:
Watch the for sale forum for some used nismo wheel set or TE37's, they pop up regularly

Tires:
Heard good things about the Bridgestone re71r

I would also recommend the nismo z wheels. They will fit wider tires a bit better, and even new they are a great price, especially the ones from the 2015+ nismo rs.

I run the the re71r on my non turbo z, but for your use any of the 200tw extreme summer options will work well. Be advised that the amount of wear you get from them will be limited with how much and how hard you drive, and expect in car noise to go up. All in the name of more grip.
