Just checked your site out. Might have to pop in for an estimate soon....

 

^sounds good! come in anytime!

 

Why? What size/offset wheels and what size tires are you trying to put on? You can't roll the front, at least not that much, and you're better off to TRIM the rear fender lip of a 300ZX than roll it. I've seen a few fenders buckle when rolled. With the right set-up, you can fit large tires assuming that's your goal. I have 285s on the front of my 300ZX with no fender modification, and a 295 in the rear with the fender lip trimmed just a few mm.

Again - I'd avoid rolling.

 

^we can do either, we have rolled 300zx rears before with no issues of buckling.

trimming is going to be best for clearance.

 

Dead blow hammer?

 

Im actually running
18x8.5 +35 235/40/18 (f)
18x9.5 +22 265/35/18 (r)

my front is rubbing, or atleast I think, when I turn my steering wheel all the way and Im not sure about the back. Im afraid that the back might rub over bumps and potholes. Not really sure what to do, whats your advice?? sorry kinda new to this wheel thing heres a link of my car with those wheels, and again, what should I do?? thanks.

Hmm. I doubt the front is rubbing. That is a tall sidewall, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before (I ran 255/40 on an 18x9 for years). That's a pretty mild wheel, offset, and tire size on your fronts. . . . My $ is on the back, as that offset is for 350Zs not 300ZXs. If you want to run that rear wheel without rubbing, I suppose I'd first try trimming the fender (dremel - sounds like JDMIT can do this at their shop), but it may not be enough. You may need to get a much smaller tire. Typical offset is in mid 30s for a 9.5" wheel. My 10.5" rears are +43, which is the same as a 9.5" wheel with a +31 offset, and my fenders are trimmed (big tires though). With a good trim and some camber, you may be able to pull it offer with that tire.

Your Z looks good otherwise - mine is black as well.

 

Thanks! I really want to run wide tires in the back, I was hoping to run 295 or around there. How will the car look after the fenders are trimmed? so you wouldn't recommend fender rolling and a few degrees of negative camber? I don't think they're rubbing right now but Im planning on lowering it. whats your suggestion on lowering it?

 

sounds like I might have to go with trimming, but I dont know how the car will look after trimming. Where are you guys located at?

 

^you really wont notice a diff from the outside with trimming

we are are :

801 E Gude Drive
Rockville, MD 20850

 

Correct, can't even tell my fenders are trimmed.

Seven - if you want to run a 295, you should have a 10" tire. You can do it on your 9.5, but the tire will look a little bowed. You could run a 285/30, which is nice b/c it's the same total height as the stock 300ZX TT rear tire, or a 285/35 to fill the gap a little bit. I'm only lowered on Eibach springs, so 0.8" drop.

Here is mine currently with the 285/30/18s and the same 0.8" drop. You can see a little bit of gap in the back. Those are 285/30/18s on the front as well.



I am going to switch next weekend to a 295/30/18 R888 tire for a little more footprint and to pick up some of that gap.

and here is the old set-up with 295/35/18 drag radials:

 

guess I'll have to pay you guys a visit this week, should I just call or bring the car over for you guys to take a look at?

wow your z is BEAUTIFUL! love those wheels and wide tires! thanks for the info, I'll probably just follow your advice. By the way, how dark is your tint?

 

^Yupp just come by! Some us the guys are packing up our trailer and goin to Sno*Drift Rally 2010 on wednesday, so Monday or Tuesday are better!

 

Thanks, it does ok!
Tint is dark on the back 3, I think it's 5%, but lighter on the sides, like 25% so that I can see out of them.
