I like how the front tire looks a bit smaller than the rear. I think if I put a beefier tire on the front it will look too similar. Maybe I'm nuts.

I definitely don't like the stock look with the wheels ticked in, yuck. I just like the look of the actual wheel/tire fitment.

I'd rather not roll cuz I'm dealing with too much rust issues on the fenders and we use a lot of salt out here on the roads. But I'm not against it.

^^ Don't roll if the DOT spreads salt and chemicals. I've repaired my rear fender wells twice to remove rusted metal.

As long as you do it right, you won't have any problems, I rolled my fenders on my z and never even cracked the paint

^^ Broken/cracked paint is not the problem. Rolled fenders trap debris... that's a problem if you are in a climate where the DOT spreads salt and chemicals on the roadway.

Some winter beater like most of us do. A 1k-$1500 beater will make your Z last longer and save the value many times over what a little POS winter car will cost.

Toyota all day errvyday. They are cheap, cost next to nothing to repair, they don't get stolen all the time like the Hondas and Acuras, they are reliable and last forever. Had my 95 beater killa cam since highschool and I beat the living **** out of it and it still refuses to die. I always use it when going through bad areas or going to parties where I know things will get out of control. She never let me down.

Well if I don't roll or pull. Can I run 275/40 on a 9.75r and a 255/40 on a 9.75 f +20 without rubbing? Or do I need to do the 8.75s with the 245/40?

How far can I go without modifying my fenders on the xxrs?

I was pretty sure 9.5s would work But this odd 9.75 stuff makes me nervous. Am I good? What should I run?

I love driving the Z and don’t see why I would not drive it in all seasons. I mount a dedicated wheel/tire setup for winter and another for summer. I’m in Minnesota.

I have a Jeep Commander, but greatly prefer driving the Z, even if it’s snowing.

I prefer not to drive any car that I care a lot about in the winter. The problem is not the snow or ice. The problem is the salt fcking up the car later down the road. If I lived somewhere where they didn't dump tons of salt anytime it starts getting cold I would drive all my cars years round.

The problem is other people. Its amazing how much more often you hear sirens after any kind of precipitation or freeze over because people don't know how to drive.

I'm lucky to have lived in the desert most of my life

I see a lot of different offsets and tire prefrences for the 526's. I'm currently on stock suspension. I'm trying to decide on which 18s to go with, either square 18x10.5 or throw 18x9s in the front. Also what offset will I need and will I need spacers as well? - Thanks

I could care less about brands. They are wheels that hold tires. And for $530 shipped, I can buy 4 sets for the cost of one set of name brands. In some instances 6-8 sets.
