I had to use a spacer but they fit, you may need some spacers too... Mine's are 26 inches tall and 8 1/2 wide...

 

I'm no expert, but wouldn't it be a good idea to get some sort of LSD esp. since you're running that on a base? seems like too much tire to me.

 

yeah i have the spacers already. im dying to headout to the track but the dam thermostat decided to die on me and now my car is over heating. i had to order another one from bill siedles nissan by my house. it still hasnt arrived

 

i do have an lsd. i switched out my base model for a 04 lsd from my boys z.

 

what size are those rims and what are the offsets, I think i'm going to get a similar setup for my Z. Drag radials didn't work too well, maybe I'll have better luck with ET streets.

 

i believe their 16-17 inch rims 8 1/2. dont know the offset. like i mentioned before, they were given to me by a firend that bought them for his g35.

 

can anyone give some advice on what psi i should start off with and whats the lowest i should go?

 

I see, just wanted to make sure since I didn't see it in your list of mods.

 

I started at 20 psi and went down to 15... I liked 15 the best but start higher so u can just work your way down without the car bogging off the line

and wait to u see how ur car is going to handle with those slicks... Car handles like a 55 chevy... side walls on the slicks are so soft that the car floats the back end...

 

cool drapp, thanks for the advice!!!

 

+1 for tire pressure advise and handling lol. but start with around 20 and work your way down. You want them at the highest psi possible before they start spinning. so if they spin at 20psi try 19psi and so on. yea dont over correct the floating just keep the wheel straight, when you try to correct it is when there will be an issue. as for the burn out you want to get the WHOLE slick wet and stop right after the water pit if you go too far fowards the tires will dry and not spin, i know this from the first time i was on slicks. but i do my burnouts in 2nd gear dropping the clutch around 6000rpms with my foot on the brake. and launch and redline no joke. i launch just before my rev limiter (7100) slip the clutch a little and your off. i pulled some low 1.6 60ft after a little practice. HAVE FUN!!!!!! let us know the results after you go out. you should come up to orlando some time and head out to the track with me and jeremy.

 

HEY THATS ALOT FOR THE HELP. I would love to head out there to orlando and head to the track with you guys, im sure i can learn alot from you guys. I was planning on doing my nitrous set up with jeremy but ran into a few money problems so i had to postpone that for a bit. But i still plan on doing my set up with him when the time is right.

 

sounds good looking foward to seeing you at the shop for some nirtous in the future!! we need more z owners like this buying slicks instead of rims!!!! lol

 

i think my z has alot of potential(270whp & 250tq), but your only going to see its true potential with a nice set of dr's or slicks. so i made it a mission to get a pair of slicks and see what the z is made of. everytime i go to the track i do pretty good against cars with more power than me, now with the slicks i should do really well against them.
