Yup. That's my silver track car with a new paint job (we do have two ZRs and my 300 as well). Mod list in my profile is up-to-date!

No. It doesn't have a name. We simply call it "The Track Z" when it gets referred to given all the other Zs that "we" (local peeps) discuss.

Thanks!
It's a custom color called "GO Green" from 60s/70s muscle cars. It also matches two other cars in the Z Car Garage "Squadron".

I just got them on Wednesday, and it was raining. Yesterday was the first sunny day I havd had them on. So far they ride great, not as much noise as I thought, but they are still brand new.

I absolutely love those wheels. Type-Fs are just so clean and purposeful. Very nice setup you have going.

Do you have any closer pics of the wheel/tire? Like just a straight on view?

Thanks!

Just the right size and offset wheel, extended studs, and the right combination of spacers. Plenty of room in the back, but the front is tight.

Here are a few action shots:

Nope, not at all, especially at speed. If the power steering broke, then maybe, but I haven't noticed the requirement for a lot more steering input (granted I've been autocrossing and open tracking 285 tires for two years now).

Scott the 305/30/18's in the rear fit without rolling the fender nor pulling the fender correct?
What's the offset of the wheels (including the spacers if applicable) and how wide are the rear wheels?
I ask cause I'm i'm hoping to throw on 19x10's in the rear w/ 0 offset on my z that will never be lowered, have factory suspension, factory camber, & try and squeeze 295/35/19 out back (which I know is taller then your tires)

Nope, no rolling or fender pulling. They are on an 18x10, but since there is so much sidewall, it does not bulge in the slightest. The offset is +38 which fit fine but was tucked in. I tried a 5mm and 10mm spacer - both with success, so anything from an 18x10 +38 to +28 may work for your Z.

A 295/35 is almost 1" taller than my 305/30, but my car is lowered more than an inch and also has 2.1^ rear camber. You will need at least a roll with a 19x10 +0 and 295 tire. The wheel will also stick out past the fender.

My other set of track wheels are 18x10.5 +15 with a 285 tire. I was surprised the wheel fit, but the small tire does help. Your proposed set-up is on a wider, taller, tire, but also will stick out 9mm more than mine. It will stick out, but you can try.
