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.

 

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...

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...

ahm

 

I use them on the enthusiast wheels for auto-x they are perfect.

Here they are on a 7.5 in wheel

 

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...

 

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!

 

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

ahm

 

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.

 

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

ahm

 

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.

 

Damn, sorry to hear about the car!

 

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