Here are some pics of my new wheels/tires that I had put on a few days ago...There are some night pics/day pics the day that I bought them...Hope ya'll like...Tell me what ya'll think...

 

nice

 

Oh wow, those are really nice. What kind are they? How wide are the back tires?

 

Well the brand of the rim is RPM, the model is 505. They are basically like a replica rim, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on new rims. The tires are 9.0" wide in the rear. They look amazing.....The front rim has an 3 inch lip and the rear has a 4 inch lip.

 

looks good man, what are the offsets ??

 

nice, have fun cleaning them. now you need a drop

 

+1 on drop

 

+2 on drop.

Sweet looking wheels.

 

looks good, drop it..

 

I wanna drop it very soon....hopefully within the next month or so....the only thing that would kill me is the install on the springs...I had a guy that was going to do it for me for basically free, but I haven't really talked to him in about a month now....Does anyone know of anyone that can help me out on this drop, when I do buy the springs?

The rims offset are 18X8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear...the front tires are 245/45/18 and the rear tires are 275/35/18...

 

That is the strangest offset ever

 

If you have some hand tools a floor jack and some jack stands you can do the back ones yourself and take the front struts off and take them somewhere if you dont want to mess with them it would save you a lot on labor. If you want directions for the removal let me know OOO and nice wheels BTW i like.

 

lol

 

Okay, well maybe I misunderstood....what exactly is the offsetting? I thought you were asking for the tire size, etc....but maybe you weren't....b/c I'm trying to figure out how my wheel/tire size is strange? Let me know if I told you the wrong stuff.....I'm not sure....????

 

Roy,

Llare will do it for you at a very good price!!

 

Roy,

The offset is basically the distance from the center of the wheel either
to the front which is positive offset or to the rear which is a negative
offset.

Most rims are positive offset. I would guess from having seen your
wheels in person that you a sporting a 20 in front and a 30 in the rear.

 

Oh......gotcha.....lol.....Well that sounds good....lol....I have no idea what the offset is....is there anyway of me finding it out? Now I see why that is a funky offset that I said earlier....my apologies...

I know Llare will do it for me but I just have to get a time and place where we can do it...he said it would take like 5 hours for him to do it....it is especailly going to suck since we have to do it outside...NO A/C!!!!!

 

I am going to drop mine as well. Who is Llare? Maybe he can assist me as well. And doskiez, I could probably use the instructions. Thanks,

Kev

 

Llare is from ZOS....he is a master mechanic and could do a lot of stuff to a 350z....he has done his work and he has a APS turbo,etc....He can drop the car it is just hard to schedule a good time, especially since it is really hot outside. I know that most performance shops charge around $150 for install and he is about 40% cheaper than that....I will touch base with him to see if he wants to help ya out...

 

Thanks Roy, for anything you can do. The car sitting up higher because of the 20's I put on and is affecting aerodynamics on hi speed curves.
