yup^

Also...Mike from DDM told me that Toyo owns Nitto. The R888 and the NT01 are the same compound, the only difference is that R888 has much better sizes available...

Dont think I missed the Anchorman reference Dreamer :)

Glad someone got it.
So how do you feel about your car now, do you feel power wise it is complete? Next plans on the list?

complete? for the first stage of the car...yeah Im satisfied with it for now.

XXX Racing Fuel Gains 14whp on Stock 370Z : Injected Performance Blog

We had a chance to test XXX Racing Fuel’s new 138 oxygenated blend in our Nissan 370Z. After making a few pulls to get a consistent baseline on our 370Z (260whp), we added 5 gallons of oxygenated XXX race gas. The result was 274whp, an impressive 14whp gain.

Not the same race gas that rcz put in his z.

wtf?

Those are impressive gains for just fuel, it implies that the car is able to up-tune itself. It may continue to advance timing until it detects a knock.

Yeah not great choices for tire size on the NT01's. The ones I picked up are 275x18, 315x18. The 315's look downright huge, should look nice on the Forgestar wheels.

I plan to go w/ 315 rears too... I've got an extra set of slightly used 285 18" r888s in my garage... when i get my forgestars, wonder if I can re-use those on the front of this car? might be pushing it just a little too far, perhaps

They will fit fine on the 9.5" rim. 285 front would have been my preference as well.

thanks... more worried about fender rub than wheel fit... or catching something on the inside... I'll go back and check, but I recall DannyGT rubbing on the inside - can't remember size/offset right now

+22 with 275s at any lower than I am right now and it WILL rub. I think a 275 should fit just fine with a higher offset and will still look awsome...

Main problem for me was this wheel was only available in this offset at this size...I'm rolling in the front fenders tomorrow so we shall see how it all works out. I'm still debating on going with a 265 for the front because the current setup leaves the front about 12mm taller than the rear and I wanted the height to be ~equal. I double checked and if I do that it will be identical heights..

Ok, thanks Danny... Great looking wheels for what it's worth - I suspect AME would do well with this group if they made the right offsets for us.

you want to be careful with tires, and keep the difference between front and and rear diameters close to stock or the traction control/vdc will act up, at least it did on the 350Z

the stock set up has the rear overall diameter slightly bigger than the front by about 5mm so you definitely dont want to go taller in front

I have a slightly taller front. The difference in height front to back is the same as stock just reversed, the VDC is working fine in all conditions.

I also have a 275 up front on the stock 9" at stock offset and there is plenty of clearance. A 9.5" on the same center line shouldn't be a problem. I think Danny's is just rubbing because of the low offset pushing the wheel out too far.
