Just bought a set of alloys off the bay of e, but they dont come with tryes

 

the wheel sizes are 18"x8.5 fronts and 18"x9.5 rears. What size tyres will i need to keep the rolling radius the same as standard (or close as poss)?

I have the same size wheels as you and i have 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear.

 

HTH :)

Those are becoming very popular at the mo!

well i was worried that "everyone was gonna have them" kinda thing, but then i remembered i havent seen a 300zx in York in over a year so i think ill get away with it lol. They are nice wheels :-) saying that i dont think ive ever seen a bad set of alloys on a Z. (except the ones that are on mine at the mo)

Even if a few peeps do have them - does'nt make them any less sexy :D Good choice mate :)

They are very nice. I fancy a set but couldn't afford the rubber to go on 'em just yet. Anyone know if that offset will bring them out flush with the arches on a zed?

yea the tyres are going on my credit card so i can pay them off over summer as i wear them away :-(. I asked the guy before i bought them and he said they were flush without the need for spacers etc (i was worried they might stick out a bit) but ill get plenty of pics when they are fitted to see if they are.

cool that would be great if you could post some pics on your car. What colour is your car by the way dude?

its metallic black :-)

ooooh cool same colour as mine :D get them piccies up dude :duffer:

Wow, finally got them on after all this time lol.

 

The fronts are still tucked under the arch nicely and the backs are flush with the arch (dont stick out at all!)

 

 

 

and whilst i was at it i got rid of all the chavvy stickers from the back too:

 

 

im getting there.
