actually, just go to the dealer and get the part number, or even go to autozone, if they have calipers for our cars yet, and match the part numbers with them!

Charles if you need any testers for the drag suspension Id like to try it-as I was planing on redoing my current overly stiff+negative camber JIC set-up. Im fairly consistent, last time out in hotter weather than my 11.98@114 I ran the folowing times-and I have vids to prove it
11.992 @ 115
11.997 @ 116
12.026 @ 116
12.027 @ 116
12.037 @ 116
12.105 @ 115
12.108 @ 115
Let me know if you'd be interested

the color looks awesome, but there is a lot left to get done with the paint job tho, several panels still have not been wetsanded and buffed and the rear bumper needs to be resprayed.

YO PHUNK! Just an FYI for others that are looking to run this setup....A 15x9 would fit perfect with a 6" BS.. no fender rolling etc... I ran the 15x8's all last year with a 5.5BS and I was thinking of the 15x10's but they would need a 6.5 bs... And actually I am down to a 1.66 60' with the M/T's... Anyway enjoy and good luck!

yea i think the 315s are a 30" arent they? My friend lifts the front end off the ground with those in that size in his 03 Cobra. Its possible that their width might even fit a stock 350z if you got the backspacing perfect, but the height is really gonna kill ya, the fender tapers in a lot as it goes up... perhaps with some super high springs/shocks tho

Phunk,
Do you think there is alot to gain with a drag set up on the Z?I mean Jasons 1.66 60 ft is not to shabby for a stock suspension and Nismo LSD. The boy shure can drive..If he lost 50Lbs, he might actually go faster..

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
275/50-15 5.4in 12.9in 25.8in 81.1in 781 0.0%
315/60-15 7.4in 14.9in 29.9in 93.9in 675 15.7%
325/50-15 6.4in 13.9in 27.8in 87.3in 726 7.6%
I think it still might fit with the fenders i have, They dont taper down nearly as much as the stock ones, but you are right the 315 is alot taller. With the relatively short gearing already and the power im making i was looking for a taller tire anyways so i can ride the gears out more. The 325 probly would be a better choice for fitment though.
