I want to avoid running stretched tyres and even a lip roll so I think it will have to be 9.5j all around. I havent seen any other alloys like them on the sites ive been looking on for under £1000 all around (Maybe I haven't been looking well enough). When I do get coilovers I still want to be able to clear speedbumps and the front bumper not to scrape on normal kerbs. I just figure Id rather get coilovers, than have to over pay if one of the coils or other parts of the old suspension breaks. Its too bad they dont make any narrower alloys for the fronts. What tyre setup would you suggest with 9.5j all around ET18. Would 235/40 front and 265/35 rear be fine?

From the calculator you have linked the 9.5j et18 would fit but the 10.5j et15 would be too wide on the rears without rolling the arches if im correct? If that is the case would 9.5j all round be ok with 235/40 on the front and 265/35 on the rear? Or would 235 be too narrow on the front 9.5j alloys as well. Im not into a stance look, I just really like the alloys, and they only seem to make 9.5j and 10.5j and I would like staggered alloys. Ive been looking at the Meister R coilovers as well. They look like a great deal with the discount code but Im going to get the water pump and cambelt sorted before I buy them

Thank, ive been looking at a some gold JR23's and Rota MC3's but I think im going to go with these. https://www.7twenty.co.uk/collections/style49-1/products/style49-matt-bronze?variant=1622667139 front 9.5j et18 and rear 10.5j et15

They sold before I could accept the offer that was sent to me, I guess i'm still going to be looking for now. I'd prefer a full staggered set I think anyway. The 350z alloys are the cheapest way I can think of getting a full set of forged alloys that will last. Although despite all the the advice I still can't decide on anything other than investing in good tyres, a cambelt and water pump change, some rubber fuel hose, and possibly some Meister R's with the discount code. Ive been put off the MTEC discs as im reading that some people have ended up with cracked discs, and that they attract rust really quickly.

Maybe the guy is selling 2 sets of rears

Its the 350z V1 rays alloys that im looking at

Yes

Ok so the width is 8.5j and the offset is 33mm. So how would that affect fitment? Here is the engine bay. The picture isnt great but its dark and foggy outside

I'm unsure on the coilovers, it may be worth keeping the ground clearance for speed bumps, as there are many on my route to work as I like to avoid traffic

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Ill upload a picture of the engine bay tomorrow after work. By the way ive also been told that one of the rear tyres is 14 years old which is why im looking at alloys and tyres now. I'll definitely go with the pilot sport 4's, as cheaping out on tyres is the worst thing I could probably do. For the brakes ill go with basic drilled/slotted, and then look at some yellow stuff pads. The Ksport brakes would definitely be overkill, as I can't afford to go track racing, as I wouldn't be using the brakes a great deal, So I guess they would last a while. Amy recomendations on coilovers since i'm doing everything else anyway. I don't really care about lowering it much, but with the thinner rear tyres im expecting there to be enough of a gap to make it worth lowering, if im going to go with 235/40/18 on front and 265/35/18 on the rear with the 8.5j offset on all of the alloys

Would that be all around? 265/35

[/img] Its a Targa, and done just under 90,000 miles. Its never going to be the family car as I have a CLS for that, which im hoping to change for an S6. The brake packsages on here look pretty good, as the brake discs look better than the ones on euro parts. From the looks of it the 2 packages at the bottom would be suited to my need of replacing all 4 pads and rotors, anyone want to pick for me? For the Rays 18" 350z alloys that ive been looking at, it says that they are 8.5j and all suited to 245mm wide tyres. Would it be suitable to put wider tyres on?

Hi, Ive bought a 92 TT auto just over a month ago. Its not done much mileage since it was imported 15 years ago and needs some maintenance on it, to turn it into a daily commuter (8 miles a day), and I was just looking for some advice. From what I can see the car needs new tyres, brake and the cam belt doing. Can anyone recommend decent pads and discs for road use. Ive seen the brembo front pads and pagid discs, and pagid rear disc and pads on euro car parts, and was wondering whether it would be advisable to put money towards ebc redstuff pads and discs, or tarox discs. And is it worth paying for drilled/grooved over standard brakes for fast road use? Im also looking at changing the 17 inch alloys with 235/45 tyres for some 18's, possibly 350z forged ones, would it be wise to go for a thinner profile such as 40 or 35 with the increase in alloy size? And what tyres would be good to go with the car? I'm looking at michelin pilot sport 4's but they are expensive. As I need to get the cambelt done, as its not been done in several years, could anyone recommend a place which knows 300zx's within the West Midlands/Warwickshire area? Id also be looking at a possible remap in the future to take advantage of the Japspeed exhaust, so advice on a place to take it to would be appreciated.
