I'm running BSP with my Z this year. I currently have 265's on front and rear, but am going with wider rims with the class bump - wondering if anyone has tried the 285-30x18 V710's?

Will the 285's fit the Z front and rear without rubbing issues? Has anyone done this?

 

With the right wheel I think it would fit. My guess would be 18 x 9.5 25 offset. or 18 x 10 22 offset would work. The 10 might be really tight though and require some fender "adjustments."

 

On an AutoX course I would be worried about getting tires that wide up to optimal temp. In fact -- I wonder if you are getting your 265s up to temp as it is.

But I do not AutoX -- only road track stuff -- so what do I know.

 

Oh there is no problem there I assure you. Auto-x heats up tires amazingly fast.

I'm currently running 275's in B stock and they feel awesome. They are up to temp after the first run and feel perfect. I know I've said it in like 50 other threads but The Kumho 710's are the awesomest tire in the world I love them!!!

 

del105 - are you on 275 Hoosiers? The reason I want to run 285 710's is because I've read they're far superior to the S04's (don't know about S05's)... and I think the 245 710's wouldn't be enough grip.

Has anyone tried the S05's? How do they compare to the Kumho's?

 

Im on 275 kumho 710s on a 17in wheel. They are a million times superior in every way to the A3S04s.

 

can you run those Kumho tires ont he street too or are they too soft?

 

Too soft to run daily driver.

del - are your wheels 17x8 for stock?

I've got a Track, so I'm not sure if 17's would fit with the Brembo's... but I'm still looking for a set of light and not outrageously overpriced set of wheels - maybe 17's would work? Is anyone running 17's with the Brembo's?

 

Not in B stock -- at least if you don't want to be protested...

I realize that - I'm running BSP... thought there might be someone else who's tried it.
