hrmm...wonder if anyone knows if...the varis front diffuser is same as the ts front diffuser....or is the front diffuser not entirely whole. The TS front diffuser is the whole thing, lip and underbody....so wonder if the varis FD is the same or do i have to buy the lip and the front diffuser together.

confusing..no? ;p

What about 285/35 are those not pretty close as well? I was thinking of these.
Might go 255/35 or 265/35 fronts depending on what's avail. I don't like the over streched look so much and need extra grip.

Group buy anyone?

.35 x 275 = 96.25
.30 x 285 = 85.50

Noooo. Say a tire is a 245/35.

245 is the width of the tread in mm. 35 is the height of the sidewall as a ratio of the tread width. So a 245mm wide tire in this case has a tire with a sidewall height of 85.75 mm. add 19 inches for our wheels. Now that seems to represnt the total height of the Tire. To get a grasp on the size of just one side wall that number would have to be divided by 2. So it has a 42.875 mm side wall. Which is about right. About 4.3 cm

Thanks Mike,

What is the dia of the rear and front OEM.

Do we have to worry about the front dia as much as the rear?

keep in mind that some brand tires make different width for the same size....

I once had a 225 next to a 245 and they were the same width... lol



and goddamn... it's way too early to wake up... 5am... -_______-

wow .. looks ugly AND overheats

https://my350z.com/forum/2009-370z/4...d-courses.html

what's with nissan and producing products and touting features that can't be used? first it was the GTR with the launch control and now it's the auto-blip downshift (which is meant for track racing imo) which you can use, but then your poor 370z will overheat ridiculous.
