I'm most interested to see how flush they are with the fenders taking into consideration your drop - because I am looking at getting 9.5/10.5 GT-C's (Face 2 F/R) and I have been pondering what tires to run... hopefully your pictures will help me make a decision...

please post pics from as many angles as possible... Thanks!>!>!>

 

Ok, here's the first few. The camera ran out of juice before I could get any more pics. After the battery is recharged I'll take a few more pics.











Give me a few and I'll get some more. Or send my graphics guy to do it for me.

 

Ok, heres all I'm going to do today. If there is any specific shots or anything, let me know and I'll get them tomorrow (now that the camera is back).

 

DR---

How many miles do you have on your tires. I see you also have a little wearing on the inside. I also have the continental2 with 15k on them.

 

That's why you should use a 275/30-19 on the front! You're right, the car would 'push' a bit more with 255s on the front, but the 275/295 set-up gives the car a nice, balanced feel.

We do this set-up all day long under stock (not rolled) fenders: 19x9.5 275/30-19 and 19x10.5 295/30-19. This is a bit shorter diameter than OE, but the Z doesn't seem to mind the slightly shorter gearing... and the ABS and other functions all work perfectly- I have spend dozens of hours behind the wheel of a 350Z with this exact set-up (plus Eibachs and StopTech brakes).

Redline has a great set-up: 19x9.5 275/30-19 and 19x11 305/30-19 (with rolled rear fenders). If I had a 'Z, this is what I would run.

Bob

 

I don't think I have that many miles. But I don't want to throw some random number untill I look into it a bit. I want to say something like 10k, but it could be more. I'll check my paperwork when I get home and see if I have it written down.

 

HREWheelmaker,

Do you mean this setup?

Thanks Bob,

Bob

 

Beautiful redlinez!

It's hard to believe you can run 275 up front with no rubbing in hard corning, but your doing it and everything seems fine.

Awesome wheels...

 

DrCold,

again...nice shots of the 285's...

 

perfect... thank you so much!

Thanks for the links Dr.Cold... this should help when trying to visualize the front and back wheels.

 

no more pics?

 

I went to a Chicago Z meet for the first time this past weekend and met some of the members. Nice rides and people!! Captured these shots and thought I would share.

245 vs 295...wow!

My SF Winning's should be here next week I've waited an extra two months now because of special orders... I will post pictures very soon.

what "mudflap" is on the redline Z there?

 

It looks like the top secret kit.

 

please give wheels size with offset. Also, tire size and brand


thanks

 

keene1bj,

not sure of his offset or rim brand...you may want to do a search to find the info...?

The better ones at the end!

 

Well believe it or not, but I just changed my rear tires to the Continental ContiSport Contact 2 sizes 315/25/19's and they fit like a glove in the fender. I also finally aligned the car yesterday as well as rolled in the fenders. I will also be changing the front tires with 275/30/19's. Once my friend this Sat. takes pics of my Z at a spot he found down here in Miami, I will most definitely post them up here.
