Discount came through. They reimbursed me for the tire I had to purchase in Fayetteville, AR and they switched me out to the GY F1 D3's.
MUCH better tires IMO. They respond like a performance tire should. There's no "mushy-ness" to them when you make sudden turns, and the car immediately reacts. With the Michelin Pilot A/S there was some hesitation after the wheel was turned. It felt like the car kept driving forward when you made a sharp turn.

Car looks good Mike! And when did you get the 2006 tail lights?
For those of you who don't know....I owe Mike more than I could ever repay him. As he mentioned, he used to have a set of GT-7's on the car. He traded me those wheels straight up for my 18" Track wheels/tires because he thought he was going to trade his car in waaaay back. I guess that didn't happen for some reason, so he kept the car. I didn't realize this until a few months later I think...the whole time I thought the car was gone and traded-in.
Well, I sold "that" particular 350z to Davidf on the forums here because I thought I was going to get a G35 Coupe....thought. Davidf coverted the rear GT-7's that were on the car from a 9.5 to a 10.5 now.
Then I got a hold of ZZtopp (also posting in this thread) literally the night I sold my 1st 350z, and bought his 350z from him. I'm back in another Z...happy as can be...and glad I didn't buy a G.
Boogiemyke, I still owe you bigtime. I'll pay you back somehow.

I run 255/35/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. Does the tire hit the fender well when the car has suspension travel and lowers? I want to put the spacers but afraid of hitting the fender. My car has OEM suspension.

Any problems with fender rubbing? I have a g35c w/265/35 rr & 245 35 ft. I was planning on spacers 20mm rr and 15 ft but I am concerned about rubbing the fender.

Looks much improved. Just an opinion but 15mm out back would have looked better I think. Can see a little too much tread in the gy_rear-side shot. Fronts look perfect.
