Sup all,

First off, when i first bought my Z, i joined here right away, even though i don't post a lot, i wanted to thank you guys for being such great community.

The problem is guys, I got the axis milano's when they firstttttttttttt came out. Back then they didn't have the staggered set up, 8.5's all around right now. It's ***, i mean i get some benefits, in the snow its better and what not, but i just hate the gap.

The question i'm asking you guys is to recommend what i should do. I figured a couple options.

1. buy 9.5's for the rear for 800 with tires, and try selling 2 8.5's for cheap, i mean cheap with tires, cause they have about 1000 miles not one scratch, seriously mint condition.

2. just keep them and get h&r wheel spacers.

3. just sell them all and get new wheels. Even though i love milano's and feel special cause i pioneered them on the Z, <--thats me being a little cocky. I should rephrase, i was the pioneer CUSTOMER for the milano's.

what should i do????????

thx guys again

I guess it depends on what you're comfortable with, but I think a key is that the Z's handling characteristics were designed around the staggered setup. One of the trade-mags project Z's used the same size tire all around, but those guys really knew what they were doing.

I think if I were in your shoes, and money wasn't an issue, I'd put down my pride regarding the milano's and put the car in the shoes it was meant to wear ----staggered.

 

Choose option#1. Especially if it is only $800. You can recoup at least half of that on the sale. Your car looks good with the Milanos.

 

Do you like the look of your car? That should be the ultimate question to ask. Personally, I would trade the rears in and get the 9.5 in the back (the way it should be), but then again its your car and your money. If I were you, I would ride out the rubbers on the wheels you have now and when it comes to laying down another 1200 for tires, just trade in your rims and get another set of rims, cause you will already have to buy new tires at that point. And you can also recoup some cost for the new rims by selling your old rims.
