i wanted to wait and put them on when I had the rest of my bodywork put on, but a) i couldn't resist it any more, and b) my old tyres were fooked on the insides. and when i say fooked, i mean bald and starting to puke their liner out!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

theyre 19" 275 on the back and 245 on the front. i love the plain 5-spoke style, and theyre going to be SO much easier to clean than the old Vortexes.

 

i definately need to drop my rear about 20mm, and i'd like to space them out just a little. the front is a foookin tight fit. when on full lock either way, there's about one millimetre between the tyre and the inside arch! i will probably space the fronts out very slightly to try and compensate.

 

on the drive back i didn't have any problem when turning, even carefully on full lock, but when going over a speed bump there's a bit of scrubbage from the top :( hopefully dropping the rear suspension will help the front out a little.

 

many thanks go out to the boys at Formula One in Leicester for putting them on and being a decent bunch of lads. :bow:

 

needless to say my 18s will be up for sale in the near future. i need to get them cleaned and get some pics up.

awsom!!! really like those wheels!!!

very nice dave...

Just finishes it off perfectly :D Have you got your seats done yet though? :tongue:

no theyre still sat in the cupboard! :headvswal im hoping to get the bodywork done next month, but it looks like i might need new suspension all round - half to drop the rear, and half to hopefully sort out the issue that caused my inner tyre wear - whether it was tracking or suspension i dont know.

Well they aint gold but they'll do i guess :rofl: :rofl:

pm'd you mate.

 

@ everyone else: i'll get them cleaned and photo'd on Monday, then up for sale. like i said in my first post the two front tyres are fooked. there's also some light damage and light kerbing but i'll make sure theyre all in the pictures. let's say Car.Mad has first dibs on them.

Hi Dave,

i know dude i know, but i had to check the bore and thread sizes. he's emailed me back asking what the bore size is of the wheels ive put on but i dont want to take one off to have a look so im hoping one of the two chaps above can help! i doesnt say 300zx in the ad so i want to make sure im onto the right thing :duffer:

Would love to help out tonight bud but mines all wrapped up, would take me 20 mins to get into the car to get teh key for the wheels...

 

Might be doing a few bits tommorrow though, if i do i'll let you know....

no need to go to the effort thanks mate, i wondered if either of you knew off the top of your head! :)

No bother mate...

 

If you do need me to have a look.......just give me a shout....

 

Neil

same as mine too

Look great Dave - suit the car very nicely :cool:

 

Steve :)

i spoke to the guys who flogged me the wheels - incredibly helpful and professional!!! they said the bore of the wheels was 72.6mm but the included rings narrow it down to 66mm required for the Z. i've ordered a set of 20mm all round spacers off them. hopefully this will fix my suspension rubbing problem, but i'll still need to drop my rear and perhaps raise my front slightly too!
