Same event...rain session. Slicks in standing water=wheee!

 

Side note....car will likely be for sale in a few weeks!

 

What's the next project going to be?

 

Undecided, but it won't be Z33 related. I'm not sure I will dive into a full "rulebook" car build again for a little while. There is a crap ton of money in that car and a lot of development time. A lot of the parts are custom for a single purpose, etc. It kind of went out of control and I was all in before I realized it.

 

Oh how I know how you feel!

 

Sorry missed this for a few days. I don't have coilovers yet, its on my list of wants. still on Koni Yellows and Swift Spec R. It's a little too soft

 

Forgestar CF5V - 19x8.5 +22 (F) & 19x9.5 +33 (R)
Michelin Pilot Super Sport - 255/35/19 (F) & 275/35/19 (R)

 

Very nice, a bit to narrow for this thread ( wide for a G sedan , but common on the Z)

Was this pic taken in Carlsbad?

 

yeah, in Cbad. tires are "fat" relative to the wheel width

 

The G sedan looks great but wheels are narrow.

For comparo I run a 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 on my sedan.

 

your sedan weights at least 600 lbs more and likely has less than 10 hp more, so not sure why you'd wanna run such a wide rear and add more weight, maybe to keep the rear in check? what size tire?

 

First, my statement wasn't out of disrespect. Your wheel & tire sizing are weak for this thread. Sorry if you're butthurt about the truth.

Second, my Forgeline wheels are completely forged, so I promise they are not as heavy as you think. Most likely lighter than those cast wheels you have. And I'm running a 245/285 set-up on my sedan. A 255/295 is in the future.

Lastly, I didn't build it for performance. If you want to compare performance stats let's bring in my 600hp built Twin Turbo 350Z. And it's running HRE 19x9.5 and 19x11 with 265/305 Toyo R888 which are weight in at the 19lbs and 21lbs.

 

His "cast" wheels are 20 pounds for the front and 22 for the rear.

Sorry brah but no way those forgelines weigh less than that (quality is a whole other subject though).

 

I'll agree they are within pounds of each other. But yes... Quality is a whole other subject.

 

lol, not butt-hurt at all, i know about your z, you gave the example of sedan to sedan or oranges to oranges. oversized setups are just as bad as undersized, just wondering why you need that much wheel for that much tire is all. if it's purely to chase numbers that's cool, hella flush guys do stuff like that all the time. i dunno maybe you're gonna go FI on it. i like these sizes for canyons, not hitting a road course any time soon, so i don't need to dull down my steering for no reason.

 

18x9+5 275/35 19x10-3 285/35 Streetcar

 

Its been a while since I've had stock tire sizes on my car, but with a 275/295 combo I really haven't noticed less steering response.

 

^your car can use the extra grip, lol and carry the extra weight

 

So post pics in the a Normal Wheel and tire thread.

 

^here we go, i'll i'm saying is fat is relative, specs in here are weak compared to other chassis' and? i have a 1st gen g sedan, clearance is totally different. he flexed his sedan fat specs on me, why? i'm fine with number chasers, just don't get the preaching. the specs on the OP of this thread are on a Z aren't anything crazy either. not to mention a lot of unaggressive fitment in here too, not sure why people wanna get e tough all of the sudden, i've posted in here plenty of times before with tires that run smaller and didn't get people trying to kick me out
