Default 370z rims + VDC

Been waiting through winter to try them on cause of my stock bent rim, now VDC cuts on everytime I don't drive like a grandmother. Guess I'm VDC-less.

No problems, but I read from a earlier thread the front needed spacers to clear the brakes so I put in 15mm spacers. You're probably going to have to get an alignment again though because after I switched out my rims the numbers were way off.

You need to put a 40 on the back....the front is taller by .14"....VDC does not like that.

Thanks for telling me, I'll just drive with VDC off until I'm done with them and get the right size.

What mike said... Or just go down to a 245/35 up front either way should work. Your sizes are just out of the VDC tolerance right now.
