I got these babbies to use at the track.
18x9with 245/40 up front and 18x10 with 275/40 on the rear.

Took them out for a little spin a quick photo shoot. They seam a little louder in the noise section than the Toyos. I will have to get it up to speed to really tell.
The Stoptechs just fit nice on the front. I think it makes them look bigger.
I added a pic with the Volks that I will still be using for street most of the time for quick comparision.









Oh yeah I still have my Stock 17's that i need to move to make room.

 

new body kit put on? you didnt have that last Zfest.. dont remember you mentioning that.. or I just wasnt paying attention..

those wheels will do for the track

 

I have a fair bit of new items since last Z fest actually

These new Carbotech pads give off a fair amount of break dust. Seams to clean off easy though.

 

don't me to thread jack, you got a nice of wheels, just like mine. you got good taste

 

^^^ They look good with the Blue

 

with a 18x9 wheel shouldn't you be able to fit a 265 up front? I'm running 18x8.5's and my 255/40's fit well.

Unless you wanted more understeer?

 

Not sure if 265's would fit or how they would have performed being I would have had to get the different wall size 265/35/18 vs the 40 size I have on the rears. I wanted 255's but they didnt have the 18/40/255's available.
I don't have very much knowlege on what tire sizes work together and fit on the Z and its hard to pool all the info here on the various threads on the subject.

This will do for now. If I get into lapping a lot I will eventually need new rubber again and look for other options.

 

i am running 255 in the fronts and 295 in the rear with toyo T1R's

 

Toyos were more than the Kumhos and the Kumhos on paper are stickier. 220 vs 280. I wanted a sticky tire for track without going for R1 compound so I can drive to and from and also be good in the rain.

We have had a ton of rain here this year its crazy!!!



I will be putting 255 and 285 Toyos on the Volks next spring

 

I don't know how I missed this thread. Looks good. We're going to have fun at Mosport next Sunday. Then we'll have to find a track day at TMP - I haven't been there yet this year!

 

Great looking track wheel.
