Well heres my first post, i own a daytona blue 350z in ontario canada, was wondering how big of a wheel you can put on it front and back? i think there 265's or something on them now?!?! could be wrong, thanks

not totally familiar with the models offered in canada, wether you get the 17s or not, but even so the 18s are 225 on front and 245 on back.

I personally have 245 and 275 on mine, and I have seen 295s in back (tho there is some question whether this requires rolling the fendors or not) I guess it depends on the offset and the exact tire perhaps. also if its lowered or not.

but as for front, I have heard some say 275s will fit, but again, its debatable if you need to roll the fenders ect.

hope that helps.

 

Mines the performance package with the stock 18's with 225 and 245's on the back

ok, same still applies, just lettin ya know what size the stock was. the bottom 2 have 225/235s instead.

 

How come they get daytime running lights in the Canadian Z? I guess we have to fake it like everyone else who drives around with their lights on in broad daylight.

 

Curious ... what does 'Rolling the Fenders' mean ... ?

Thanks in advance!

 

rolling the fenders means flairing the fenders so that a large offset or wide tires/rims won't rub. Off-roaders and people with lowered cars (from my exerience) do this.

Sometimes there are trade offs, one guy I knew with a Ford Ranger flaired his fenders to acomodate big tires and then his tail gate fell out cuz the bar holding his rear fenders out caused the retaining mechanism on the tailgate to become disengaged. Just an example, but trying to illustrate that flairing can cause problems.

 

I believe the main problem would be 1. less structure to your fenders, that flare give that metal some substance. when its rolled they take the flare and bend it up against the body panel, so now its not a right angle to the body panel.

a second problem is since its bending the metal and its painted, it can crack... which is never great. some places will just cut the flare off to solve that problem, but then you really have no support.

 

oh with the flare gone, its more room for the tires in the wheel well, before they would typicly rub the flares when turning the wheels or hitting bumps.

lowering the car can push the wheels out a few mm, which is why a lowered car can have more of a problem.
