Default Tein lowered with 295's

Finally got my rims and Tein Basics on today. I have 295/35 on 10.5" 18's in the rear and no rubbing. Yeah! Camber is bad though.

Approximately 1" all the way around. I'm thinking about raising it a little to eliminate the camber problem up front. I think the backs will come out close to spec with the camber adjusted all the way.

So far everyone who has seen them, in person, has commented positively on them. Maybe its a Midwest thing. But I'm sure they're not everyone's cup of tea.

The rims are called Complete Custom Wheel or CCW. Its the Classic Street Model in black anodized finish. I first saw them on Underpressure's car and Performance Nissan's race cars. They are a true 3 piece rim that is very strong and light. You will find this rim on many Corvettes and Porsches that frequent the track. The rears are 18" x 10.5" and weigh 20 lbs. With the Toyos they weigh 50 lbs total per rear wheel. The fronts weigh 17 lbs each for the 18" x 9" size. With tires, the fronts are about 45 lbs. Factory rears are about 59 lbs and the fronts are about 54 lbs. So I lost about 9 lbs per wheel while increasing size to a 295/35 and a 265/35!

ccwheels

PS. Don't go to www.ccwheel(s).com unless you like pictures of naked women. ;-)

PPS. Thanks aalzuhair

How is the ride with the Tein Basics? I'm not sure whether to get those or the S-tune from Nismo. I want to get rid of the bounce but I don't want the suspension too stiff. I will probably never track the car.

Yup, good old Dekalb. Cool. If its warm enough there are a few brave souls who get together in the winter up here.

Thanks. Lots of people comment on the headlight covers that they look like a porsche, but I'm an old school Z owner and to me it makes the front end look more like the old 280z.
