I have a brand new set of 275/40/17 710s for 800.00 shipped.

If only they were 18s....

and 265 or 285s.. haha. good price.

amolaver May 29, 2005 07:53 PM

why oh why couldn't these be 255's. 275's aren't going to work on 8" enthusiast wheels :(

ahm

They work on 8" front track wheels... :D

Chris runs them on his enthusiast. Snap them up while you can, before someone else with 17s grabs them!

tempting, but given kumho's recommendation of, at a maximum, the 245 (no 255 or 265 in 17" fitment for the 710's), the 275's are too wide for my comfort. i wish i had the wider wheels to use them...

I used to run 245s on my 7" wheels (on my SpecV).

I run 275s on my 8"/8.5" Z track (18") wheels. If your tire guy can't get them installed, maybe it's time for a new tire guy...

amolaver May 30, 2005 01:57 PM

hrm. surprising they don't look *TOO* awful on the 7.5" rim, although that's too much sidewall bulge for safety on a racetrack (IMHO). another .5" of wheel though... i'll pm you.

ahm

I'm keeping these, decided to fix the car instead of getting the mini cooper S.

SORRY!

amolaver May 30, 2005 06:21 PM

if it isn't too painful, what happened to the car?

ahm

del105 May 30, 2005 06:35 PM

I was sitting a a light and a lady coming from the other direction slid into me. Very sad. So far there is 7k worth of damage. I'm pulling all the front suspension this week to see if its bent, so there may be more. Right now I'm pretty sure that it will be undetectable after its finished but well see.

I was going to tru to run the MCS in G stock but apparently they aren't the overdog everyone thought they would be. The Z has been treating me really well so far this year so she gets a second chance for now.

amolaver May 30, 2005 06:44 PM

oi! 7K!! brutal. glad to hear you're staying in the fold though. good luck!

ahm

PedalFaster May 30, 2005 10:33 PM

Yeah, stick around and prove that the 350Z's an overdog in B Stock. ;)

I've been running 275s (A3S04s and 710s) on the stock Enthusiast wheels for over a year with no problems. It's pretty much the standard for stock class autocrossing. There are engineer-designed guidelines as to which tire is correct for the rim, then there are "Real world" guidelines that autocrossers/track drivers use.. which basically consist of "can you fit it on the wheel using a 10' long pry bar?" You'd be suprised.. and it works! HUGE difference going from 245s to 275s.

christoc Jun 13, 2005 06:20 AM

Damn, sorry to hear about the car!

del105 Jun 13, 2005 04:37 PM

thanks chris, It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.
