Okay Hi all!

I have not officially become a Z owner, supposedly my car will be in next week Mag Blk 06 Touring w/navi loaded.

I have already ordered my new rims 20" ADR M-Classics. The question I have is since there is a break in period, should I wait and break it in with the stock tires or does it not even matter?

Thanks in advance!

 

i wouldnt worry a ton about the break in. why worry about rubber break in? the stock wheel sizes are 17/18's and u are running 20's. the m-classics are so nice. im gonna order a set of those in black 18's for my yellow roadster.

i would just take it easy for the first 500 miles with the occasional speed up/slow down but no racing or anything. me personally, i did my break in miles in less than 4 days. i could not stay out of the drivers seat!

 

sell your stock tires and wheels asap. no worries about break in

 

Thanks for the comment....but those will be my winter tires! Plus it's always good to have a back up.

 

The break-in is for the engine. Slap on your new wheels ASAP. You'll be fine.

And congrats! Have fun.

 

Not much of a winter tire...

You do not want stock tires for winter if you live in snow/ice country.

 

Hmm..another Z in the Mid-A region. Seems like we are gainin' some ground here :P. I recommend you follow the manual for the break in period. Keep it under 4k rpms for the first 1200-1400 miles. In fact, I'd followed other people's advise of gradually increasing the redline rather than dump all the power up to redline after the break-in period.

Keep an eye on your oil consumption. I haven't had any issues, but some people had posted issues. As far as rims...20"? Are you nuts? This gonna be a show car or what?

EDIT: O SNAP..ITS MY 1000th! POST!!
