We love to play guessing games. I say that the wheel is 10 inches wide. Any other guesses?

i posted the pic cause u dont see many zs with 315s on. and although my rims are stock they ve been actually widened to 10.5 from 8.5. i was goign to post actual pics of it, but with all the dumb comments i decided not to. and i can launch at 4k with that bold tire and get traction, for u guys wondering how it feels.

Okay makes sense to me but just post pictures. Why do you care if they flame? You're not doing it to impress anyone are you?

i think some VERY important information was left out...hence the reason for all of the questions and supposed "hating"...

Hey Kostat, nice thinking out of the box. I saw a Supra once with the stock TT wheels in chrome with 315's on the back and have always remembered how aggressive it looked from behind.

Show us some detail to the rim, what it looks like from the face of the wheel looking in. I want to see how those weld marks show up. Who did the work for you, contact info? And can you take a shot from the rear with a little better light? I have never seen a good clean shot of 315's on a Z. Maybe take it from 20 feet away so we can get a look at the proportion.

Good work.

Default 315's on stock rims

Those D/R's are as bald as mine..I run a 295/35/18x10 at the track and hook like a MFer. 15psi seems to be just right for me to get good traction.. Not so good for the drive home though if its raining..

Is this a set-up for drag racing? Maybe we will see some times posted here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html.
