I no longer own a Z but might as well make my post worthy by dropping a pic of my latest project car!

Similar to what i am running on mine. I'm surprised they could stretch those NS2's i tried some this year and they now have a reinforced sidewall. They were soooooo stiff

so last night I put the rear wheels on in hopes to making it to a local meet tomorrow! I obviously need smaller tires for the rear, I'm thinking a 245/35/18.

18x10.5 +7 w/ 5.5 inch lip (F)
18x11.5 -6 w/ 6.5 inch lip (R)

Yeah its static for now. I had to raise it slightly for a little more clearance, I was hitting lip to quarter in the parking lot.

It's just those NS2's the new sidewalls don't stretch. You can keep those sizes, just go to a Federal

I'm specifically talking about the guy who had bleeding issues

Federal makes some decent tires for the price! If they made a 285/35 I'd own them for the street
