Well, you have some leeway with tires, though 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 WILL work as well.

1st. Those wheels are damn schweet (Enkei Aegis).
2nd. Nice pics V.
3rd. That drop (if it is even dropped) doesn't look like much of a drop at all.

i plan on running tein flex-damps...
and i just ordered TE-37s..

get this:

245/35 19 (on 19x8.5) +22
305/30 19 (on 19x10.5) +12

will be a lot of meat...that's 24" of tire in the rear

i am keeping my stock rims for R rated tires for auto-x'ing

i dont think i will have a problem with fitment.. as the 15mm diff in offset is more than 1/2 of the inch increase in rim width...

i will let you know when the rims and teins finally get in.

By the way, the FLEX suspension system is $1860.00 from TEIN. They're coming out with a less expensive Super Street system as well.

245/35 19 (on 19x8.5) +22
305/30 19 (on 19x10.5) +12

Is this going to fit? I've been holding off ordering my Volks until my car actually arrived. I was wanting to run a 9.5in front and a 10.5in rear. Looks like a 10.5 will fit the rear, what about a 9.5 in the front? How did you determine that a 10.5 will fit the rear?

Thanks for any info.

Anyone have more details on Tein's Flex suspension? Are these just coilovers? Do they have adjustable camber plates? What makes the Flex system different from other setups?

Anyone have the spring rates?

Is what most aftermarket is putting on the Z

Victor
this is from rays website:

FAIRLADY Z Z33

1985 +22 245/35 R19 1995 +22 275/35 R19 (19x8.5, 19x9.5)
1885 +22 245/40 R18 1895 +22 275/40 R18 (18x8.5, 18x9.5)

they dont have the 10.5 on the fitment chart yet, but it is designated to fit on the "sizes" chart.
