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.

 

thanks for the updated pics...is that at the stock ride height?

 

Yeah...no suspension mods yet.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post photos.

 

Have you noticed any debre or stone damage from the wheels being pulled out that far?

 

Looking good! I want some of these also, my rears are waaay too tucked in!

 

None as of yet. I had some GT7's on with +24 in the rear and never had any issues with debris. So far, I've driven 800+ miles with them like this and still no issues.

 

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.

 

Looks good now.

 

Were the spacers required to fit those widths? I am wondering if I can step up from 255 to 265 and 225 front to 245 without spacers

 

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.

 

Is your speedometer off with those sizes? A 40 series tire would be much better

 

Yeh, I know. But I always buy my tires used because I drift the car. So anything I can get is OK. But you are correct, 40 is better. Fills up the gap better also. However, my car has increased acceleration due to the decreased overall diameter of the wheel. If the speedometer is off, I haven't noticed it. I do notice that the car has increased the wheelspin. I only manage a 14.4@99mph on drag strips.

 

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.

 

Try to put a lot of weight in the trunk so that the cars lowers enough to meet the top of the tire. Then, measure the distance to the fender. Its a lot of work, but the fitment should be perfect.

 

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.
