Pretty nice. It would be great to have access to parts of the Air Force bases. With SAC bases out of there I'd expect the are acres of concrete.

I want that t-shirt! "Drag car" should however read "American car". Would be funnier in my opinion.

Yes they are and the tires are 245/40/18 275/40/18 Sumitomo HTRZ III. I'm going to go with a 255/35 in the front after I'm done with these.

what are you lowered on? i was planning on running the same set up (255 in the front, like you plan on in the future) but i heard that anything over a 245 in the front or 275 in the rear rubs... do you still have lots of room in the front for the 255's?

your car looks badass btw, i also have a black z (with the bulge), so this really tells me the rpf1's are the right choice

Actually my car is not lowered, I think it just looks low because its turning...haha... Theres still some room left in the front and little in the back. Suspension is my next mod. I'm thinking about getting KW Variant 3s. The RPF1s are my track wheels, so didn't really get them for the looks, more for their weight, but I do agree they look great too.

I've seen guys on this forum do 275/35 in the front with suspension. I think it also depends on the tire brand as well. Heres one link to their thread.

^nice, thanks for the link

i originally started out liking them for the same reason as you, really light. but the more i see them, the more badass they look. and the best part is that they don't cost 3 grand

I run 285/30-18 V710's up front without any problems. first350 (now Brian Flanagans car) runs 295/30-18 Hoosiers up front and 315/30-18's out back and its pretty well slammed to the ground on JIC's (I believe hes wanting to go with a better shock setup soon but either way). the whole "i heard this rubs" argument is crap, it all depends on offset and allignment. If you keep it around +23-+27 up front you should be fine with anything up to 295/30. Out back you can fit 315's, but even Brian gets some rub on the inside.
