Who said I was trying to make it fast? I already have a toy Z that is straight-line faster than 99% of the Zs out there. I'm trying to make this car safer, because I track the fukc out if it. I'm not the one who posted that picture, and those were the original track wheels the car came with. Those are sold. The original owner is buddies with the owner of this site, and was privileged to get first access to NISMO headers when they came out, has one of the first 3 sets of TEIN coilovers, and one of only a few authentic Top Secret CF hoods. Anything else, Wheelboy cult? Here's a few other ones. That thing in the 2nd pic is a race track. That's what these enthusiasts do.

Those are 275s on the front, are those considered "aggressive wheels and tires"?

I track my Z? Nobody is saying anything against tracking their Z. A lot of people on here have super aggressive wheels for the street and big fat track wheels for the track. But for you to come in this thread and flame is RETARDED!

Its like you posting a picture of your silver Z in the Super Black color thread....it doesn't belong in the thread.....

Probally going to lower the back just a hair to even up the wheel gap with the front.

OR...

Telling a bunch of Omega owners their watch is impractical without a Casio digital timer.

Telling us our 8 oz Filet is crap because it won't fill us up like your 6 dollar burger.

Telling me you can run faster in your New balance because I'm in my Chuck Taylors.

We don't give a fuuuuug.

xbey...ur at +7 offset in the front...if u decide to go 215---u will need at least 5 mil spacer to fill in the gap...215 is an extreme stretch on a 9.5...thats what im running...im car 137 on rimtuck...but if u stay within reasonable ride height...225 for u fronts should suffice

Back in my hometown they wouldn't even do the alignment on my car. I'm lucky enough for them to do an oil change. I guess it's time for me to invest in some good ramps and jacks.

depending on how aggressive of a stretch you're thinking of going with.. i take mine to a shop that i KNOW has experience with stretched tires. going to a normal place would be a nightmare. they wouldnt know how to properly mount, and might end up damaging your wheels.

Yea, finding a good place to mount mine was a nightmare in its self. They were looking at me all crazy; I just could not stop laughing in side. But just make sure you watch them the whole time they mount your tires.

Another thing that makes me crack up inside, are these people posting pics of there setups that don't even belong in this thread. You see the other pics of aggressive setups, like deviljon, fatboy and starve just to name a few and then post your pics knowing in your right mind that you don't belong in this thread. Oh well I always love a good laugh.
