Sadly, I won't have pics mounted on the car until probably early March for you guys. The car is in storage and being taken to a shop for the next month getting the aero package done.

I am trying to figure out something here
I am going from a stretch setup to a fat tire setup on my Z

Currently running 235/35 and 245/35
18x10 +14 with 20mm spacer
18x11 +14 with 15mm spacer

I will be taking the spacers off and raising the car and re correcting the camber.

I am planning on doing
18x10 +14 with a 265/35
18x11 +14 with a 295/35

help and suggestion would be appreciated!

Car as it sits right now:

I would run a 275/35 or 285/35 up front once your spacers are removed. or go with the 265's up front , but run a 285/35 rear for a little stretch and less camber.

This is the only wheel that I actually care they are making a rep of... When see(soon to be saw) this wheel you know what your looking at.

Anybody running the Invo? I am planning a 275/295(35-18). I would love to keep the hankook v12 but they only have 295/30/18...

The invo is a great tire, slightly better than the V12. The only drawback on the Invo is you can not flip the tire.

I'm not a fan of Nitto nor the Invo. I worked at a Vette shop for 9 months and They all complained about the Invo. I suggested to one owner the BFG KDW and he loved them.

Ya i love my BFG kdw2 great tires with low noise, great wet driving and damn sticky for the price compared to potenza for example. I think potenzas are amazing too but BFG are cheaper

I just bought Falken FK452's not so happy with them. they have no grip...

The KDW2's are about the same price... How would you compare them to the Falkens if anyone could?

What tire did you come from? What have you used them for ?

I had the 452 and came from a shitty tire so it was good to me, yet noisy and broke loose to easily I guess...

I had Hankook V12's prior and they were a little more sticky but I feel like these Falkens rarely want to hook up with the pavement. -1.7 Camber currently.
