How to fit 19" wheels?
I guess it would depend on the size of the rubber. It is possible to get an adjuster which will correct the speed if you have oversize wheels. I just need to remember where I found them. I believe they will fit under a standard arch, you just need to be careful with your offset. Simon. There see I can be sensible. :nelson:

Quick Question
Slightly different for the Jap car though with 225/50/16s on the rear. This will give a 0.72% increase in speed: i.e re your quoted in 5th gear: with limiter @ 6000...........156.1 without limiter @ 6400......166.2 theoretical @ 7200...........187.3 For the automatic: 245/45/16 (225/50/16) with @ 5500 155mph (156.1) :hyper: without @ 6400 178mph (179.2) :hyper: :hyper: theoretical @ 7200 201mph (202.4) :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: All I need now is the power to make this happen :D Simon.

TYRE ADVICE! Please help ASAP
No, still correct advice, one on each corner! :D :D :mac1: Simon.

Maximum tyre width?
The 265/35/18 rear will be 1.79% larger than standard with a circumference of 2019.1mm. This will be 71.25mph at an indicated 60. In the end what you do is down to personal choice, as they are as near as you can get to the originals. Personally I'd probably go with 40 on the front and 35 on the rear in your situation as that would mean they are both turning a liitle bit slower for the same speed. Hope this helps, Simon :D

Whats The Best Engine Oil For My Z ?
Following advice from this site I use Castrol RS 10w-60. Slightly more expensive, difficult to find but my baby deserves it. You'll get a variety of responses I'm sure, Simon :)
