honestly, who cares? function > form.
have you any idea on what happens to rims when you go to a road track and you use race pads like ferodo ds3000?
I don't need the car to hook up girls or to feel my wiener bigger. otherwise I wouldn't go to the track but drive a turbo 997 convertible to get some premium shallow blonde or asian.

 

I really don't think i could have been said much better than that.

 

Cant believe they look that nice. Especially with the Nismo aero. Nice man.

 

do you believe I was SCARED... because the car was in the shop when I installed the tires... and.. the proportion of those 275/40 shoulders on 17".. was.. scary.

In person looks better than in photo.. I need somebody with a good camera as I'll wash the car.

 

Come to TZN tomorrow I take a good pic of it.

 

well man.. with this economy you can buy a 997 turbo convertible for less than 60K used a couple of years or 3...
and THAT is a chick magnet. even full stock.
the 350z is a beautiful car to drive, to modify, to have fun with...
but when you want a chick magnet porsche is on a completely different planet compared to nissan.

even if, at the end, being a poser with a porsche cost way less than track a sentra twice a month.

 

tomorrow I'll be at work.

 

I meant Sat.

 

17 inch track wheels represent! Love the RPF1, nice work!

17x9.5 f 17x10.5 r CCW classics here

 

I'd like... I'll be claying, polishing, waxing the car...
she needs some love right now.

I'm 95% positive for 25 and 26 at TWS... we could introduce the nismos there.

but no car lesbo action.. I don't like two car doing that.

 

Gorgeous, that drop looks perfect.

 

thanks man... few more.

that looks nice man..

I am really close to pulling the trigger on the rpf1's..just debating between springs and coilovers..

 

Anyone with the 332mm Stoptech BBK and these wheels be warned: You will have a hard time fitting a 275 tire on the front with a 17x9.5" wheel. I had to push my set to a net 17x9.5 +13 to clear the caliper, which led to the tire sticking out well beyond the fender. This was with a 275/40/17 V710 tire and 2.2 degrees of camber. Don't believe me? Well they're for sale, BNIB but mounted with tires for test-fit (tires removed now), for $850. They are 17x9.5 +38 offset because I wanted to use them on my 300ZXTT (no spacers) as well as the track 350 (with 20mm spacers to net a +18 offset), but they will not work with the BBK in the front.

 

I see a Z32 front end in the pic.

 

Yessir! They fit the Z32TT, which also has the 332mm ST BBK on it, just fine. Just not the Z33 with the ST BBK.

 

why you don't simply put some more camber in the front? i was eating the shoulder of my street tires with 2 degrees (on the road course) ... I can't imagine you cannot use something around 3 or more with hoosiers. that will pull the top of the tire almost 3/4" inside.

 

A change from 2.2 to 3 degrees will pull them in 3/4"? That might make it close, although I measured the tire sticking out just over a full inch from the fender.

 

well... I test fit my 275 (probably quite smaller than your kumho) upfront with 3 degrees of camber and I had no issue for rubbing.. but I guess any car comes a little different.

(but I also have 3mm less in offset)

*edit* i double checked i have exactly 3/4" of clearance between the tire wall and the fender... enough for 275/40 kumho xs.. but they have pretty rounded edges... with 15 offset you really might need a little more than 3 degrees.. or, 3 degrees and raise the front of the car (is gaining camber when the spring is compressed)

 

they look good.....the rear looks kinda small in a 18 u wouldve nailed but anyways props...
