Default To answer all questions about TPS!



The Tire Pressure Sensor fits perfectly! I can't be more happier!

Do you know they got your TPS's to work again with your computer?

No need to calibrate, works right away! just transfer the tps from factory rims to the new rims, that's it!

18x8 +20mm (front)

18x9 +25mm (rear)

I think when I upgrade to 245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear, it will come out little more.. so it will be more flush with the fender..

I think the Eibach helps to make it look more "filled in" in the fender area. So far, I love these rims! half the price than Volk, but looks expensive! (My opinion).

The ride actually improved compared to before, maybe it's because 18x9 in the rear helps absorb some road vibrations

Btw, these rims are lighter than the factory rims, so there's another plus!

Apexi,
Can you post some pics of the wheels facing them, square on?
I wonder if the difference between the gray and opal is subtle or drastic.

Darn Apexi,

I just put those exact same rims on my z tonight!!
Thank you Discount tire, by the way.

I got the 245/40 and 275/40 tires as well.
The 275 looks really nice on the back. It does stick out
further than the stock tires, but that looks nice.

I have a black Z, so maybe I'll wax it and post some pics.

yes, definitely! I ordered the LSDUnique's camber kit (I think that's his name), and corrected the rear camber from -2.5 to -1.9, which is within factory spec.

With the car lowered, the wheels will look much better, since you get rid of the gap between the wheel and the fender.

It's only $220, cheap and easy upgrade, imo.

good choice! I stay with factory size S03, since I only have 8000 miles on them. I will upgrade to your tire size when S03 are worn out...

I wish I could've gone 19's, but I am not good with driving lower profile tires, especially here in Houston, which there are lots of potholes, and bumps on the road..

Post some pics!

I think Todd has quoted the price already. The lips are:

front = 1.75"

rear = 2.25"

not too much, not too less
