i recommend the wheel supply out in walnut if you can make it out there... i went to them to get the tires put on and they gave me a great price and did it very quickly.. i plan on taking it to them to get my fenders rolled as well

 

L337350 you using the tps with those rims? im just curious if you can use them with these rims

 

no i'm not using the tps w/ these since my stock rims still have tires mounted on them


here are a few more shots in the daylight

 

the car looks great can't wait to get mine on

 

I ordered 275/40 and it looks like too much tire fro my view. I might go to 285/35 next time
I should be getting tires tomarow and lugnuts tuesday. Will i rub on stock ride height? Lowered by .75 in rear?

 

there is no way to tell - there are no universal tire sizes . Each manufacturers 275/40/18 for example can have a different width and different sidewall height. The only way to know is to try

 

after seeing the pics i think 275/40 is a lot of tire, im gonna get 255/35 and 285/35 Falken FK452. I'll post the pics up next week when i get the rims installed.

 

like I said, yes in some brands, its very tall. From those pics, they look like Toyo's or KDW's to me - both of which have very large sidewalls relative to their sectional widths. My S03's in the same size look nothing like those (much smaller sidewalls - search for pics), Eagle F1's also would have a smaller sidewall in that same size, as would PS2's. Going "down" a size to a 285/35 may or may not work - the only way to know how it will look relative to his car is to see what tire he runs, go to that manufacturers site and look at the sectional width and sidewall height of his size, then go to other manufacturers sites, and look at the physcial dimensions of other tires in various sizes.

Also, from that picture, his car is not very low, and that is contributing alot to the "bulbous" look. Overall though, that wheel design suits the car very well - it's a muscular looking wheel, and has a nice overal shape to it, which compliments the lines of the car well. With the right aero stuff and drop, they are going to look amazing.

I cannot wait till we install them in Matte Grey Silver on our other Z (chrome silver). With the coiloevers and especially body kit we chose, they are going to look stunning. Hopefully in the next few months, we'll post pics, as the car is going to take time to complete.

 

^ definately agree. I got my 275/40/18 today, and the sidewall is perfect. Those just look very tall. I got Kuhmo ASXs.

 

Ill post up a couple of pics next week..getting the rims friday hopefully in bronz..Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires and the car is really low...should look alot different.

 

Anyone know if TPS will easily fit into the XD9?

 

+1

 

I believe the TPS on 350z should work with the Emotion series (including the CR Kai, etc)

Never tried it yet though, but from the looks of Nissan's style of TPS should be ok.

Manufacturers need to standardize that stuff already.

My TPS is my hand and my $2 tire pressure gauge.

 

I find the TPS very handy here. IN cali the temp doesn't fluctuate 40 degrees lol
