Default 18" Stern's wrapped in BFG's!!!

***This is a followup thread to my previous posts in this thread...***

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/338401-best-wheel-size-for-autox.html

I finally mounted my new 18" Stern ST-7's wrapped in BFG Goodrich KDW NT's. Rims are 8.5" in the front and 9.5", and the rubber is 275/35 in the front and 295/35 in rear. I waited so long so I could install my brakes at the same time. Brakes are R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors with Axis pads. I've already bedded the brakes and they feel SO much better than the OEM non-brembo system!

I really like they way these look on the car. It's such a larger footprint as opposed to the 20" Toyo Proxes 4! Here's a few pics, I still need to get an alignment done and my TPMS reprogrammed at Nissan. ;-( Pics are taken with a Kodak Easy ShareZ1275. Don't mind the fact I have no grill, I installed an oil cooler and I'm in the process of a making new one...

OK, so enough with the b.s., onto the pics...

The offsets are a little conservative, looks like some 10-15mm spacers front and rear would make it look a lot better.

Honestly I really don't care about any of your opinions! I like the way they look and they're going to stay on the car. My opinion is the only one that matters! Thanks for all of your comments and if you don't like them, don't look at them. ;-)

Ya, in time. I'm still debating on which coilover setup to use, but I'm leaning toward a Tein Flex or Mono w/ EDFC.
