Sunken battle ships with balloon tires look retarded imo. A 18x9.5j +45offset with some 295/55 looks lame as hell, especially on Z's and G's. But thats just my opinion.

I like it. Body pannels just need to match, but IMO thats ok on a drift / track car. Just noticed the 350z badge on the other side.

i agree, i'm not a fan of either extreme's, i like tires that fit and offsets that fit. i prefer my tires *slightly* stretched to provide nice feel and response to steering inputs and such. i hate ballooned tires even more than stretched tires cause it feel like you're driving a boat (at least it did on my previous car when i mounted some 225's on 6 inch wide wheels). but i'm not a fan of tires stretched so far that you can see 1/2" of the wheel on both sides when looking at the tire from the front. i also don't like offsets that require what looks like 5-7 degree's negative camber (this one isn't sarcasm) so that they fit under the fenders.



edit: just noticed that this guy is local to me, intesting.

OP, you should come out to some autox's. if you haven't done any before, here is a link to a autox school:
http://bscc.net/component/option,com...view/extid,89/

only 5 spots left, so if you wanna come, better sign up quick. i'm going and so is another board member with a g37

i used to autox back in the day, but now i go out to bremerton to drift instead

the 350z is to low to Auto x, has to much camber and i wouldn't really want to auto x it anyways

i will stick to drifting

can you provide us all with your actual wheel (diameter, width, offset) F/R and your actual camber numbers F/R?

i think it looks great, i think all it needs is a "daily driver." decal to go on the rear bumper

Hey jspec i know the vlsd is not consistent but overall do you think for a beginner its best to start with a vlsd? Meaning can you still slide righteous with it (in the z.) Sorry to threadjack just had to ask
