yeah it has abs. and yeah there nt555 ZRs i bought the best used tires i could for the stock wheels that will only be on the car til the end of the month. they were 30$ a piece at about 80% wear. i like the v12s for a street tire but i had a used set of those on the rear at 60% wear and they were worse. i dont know what to do with tires. im gonna start another thread about running track or street tires for my setup, so hit me up there.

Default Wtf!!

So I finally get my wheels and tires last night 20x9 20x11 and I got falken 452s 225/35 255/35 and can't get the rears to sit. Most places wouldn't even try it. The only place tht was willing to give it a shot was Sullivan tire and after a day of various attempts they gave up.
Is tht because falkens dnt stretch as much as other brands?? Bc I researched a lot before goin with this setup and saw plenty of ppl runnin it.

Check Zilvia for some techniques but yes some brands stretch better than others... A 265 would be better!

Are you putting these on your Z? I can't wait to see some pics. I'm contemplating getting the 20's for my Z.

20's are a rough ride and more expensive tires, just my experience...

Ya those are two of the main reasons that I will probably end up getting the 18's. The 20's just get the lip almost touching the fender which looks really good.

if you are looking for that right fitment look, maybe you should be getting a better wheel, haha.

I am guilty, I have 521 18x10 +25 all around, but the fitment is great for some fatty tires! all in what you really want.

Getting my Volks fully polished right now, so I picked up 18 x 10.5 all around, 255 tires. 526 in chromium black.

I don't recall the offsets, but wheels sit pretty much flush. The fronts are pretty much plug n play flush. The rears "could" use 5MM or so. I will post picks tomorrow when there is day light.

Here was one quick top shot, cut off though. Sorry. Better picks tomorrow.
