Next Level Motoring has them in Hyper Silver. I should have got the +12s for my rear set.

A little touchy are we?

For someone whos all about "anti-stretch", youre certainly not living up to the title with that rear tire. Bump that up to at least a 295/35. 275/40 would also be an improvement.

When you post a pic on a forum, you're automatically liable to receive a suggestion or critique. You are now aware.

Speedo is thrown off anytime a different set of wheels is thrown on. it's not just tire size that messes around with it, and my abs works fine If i were all about stance, id have coilovers and negitave offset wheels. Again thanks for your input.

You're right, it was irrelevant to the thread topic. My fat tire obsession gets the best of me at times

This not necessarily true. There are tons of threads and a post in the 100 questions thread about this so I wont get into detail, as it would be off topic..


Now back to your XXRs!

the diameter of your tire is over 1" shorter then stock. not only do you throw off you speedo, you loose mpg, clock more miles then you actually driving. just watching out for you.

also, a 275-40 tire is with in .02" of the factory tire.

and WHY is no one talking about the new 5 spoke wheel fro XXR?

I really dont like the XXR 535s. Unless I had a big break kit with beautiful rotors to show off.

ya its 12 offset in the rear tires im running is a f: 225/40/18 r: 245/40/18, i actually just lowered it this weeknd when i got my coilovers I went with Function and forum type 2's I use to have F&F's on my eg6. after lowering it makes a BIG difference wheels dont stick out as much, front wheels i am satisfied with but depending on the look for going for which for me kinda the flush look rear isnt aggressive enough so im adding a 15mm spacer which should be coming in tomorrow. once i get that on there ill put a pic of what it looks like. if i can recommend a camber kit im running ebay godspeed front and rear camber arms know a couple z's running them and have never had a problem. if you are tracking your z STAY AWAY!!! haha

SORRY FOR THE SIDEWAYS PICS DID NOT FEE LIKE RESIZING YES I AM LAZY!!! [

last pic slammed pretty hard coilovers still had a tinny bit more to go not riding that low tho but just 12 offset for the front wheels id say is pretty solid

I probably won't ever get XXRs, but if I did, I'd get the 535s.
