I'm 99% sure I'm folding my cards here. I've never in my life had such a difficult time buying tires. None of the local shops will sell me the size I want and I cant find a used set to buy and trial run to ensure I can fit these the way i want... so here they are...
The front does need a spacer to clear Akebonos. At least a 12mm i believe. They do clear with a 15mm, which does make them pretty aggressive. However there are a few 370z guys that run these wheels just fine, they just have better tire hookups than I apparently. My local shops turn me down because of load rating. A Nismo owner I know has these wheels and runs 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 rear. The front is where I cant get anyone to sell me anything. I've had these wheels for 3 weeks and I am fed up. These are $1900 or so if you can find a sponsor to hook you up. These were on a stanced showcar with stretched tires (225 and 235) for only a couple months so the lips arent 100% perfect, not curbed, not bent, but rock knicks on the edges that will actually be hidden anyway with proper width tires (like 245 & 275/285). Asking $1500obo picked up in Indy. Kitteh not included. If a miracle happens and I find someone to sell me front tires (no i cant fit a 245/35/20 with my -1.8 camber, it will rub) then I will pull these down. Until then, someone take them so they stop pissing me off. |

on hold at the moment. Just got back from my honeymoon. I need to catch up on things and sort out if i feel like trying to buy tires online since no one local will sell me the 245/30 that is needed to clear at my ride height in the front.

I'd have to give them a fake name because they already denied me 245/30/20 in anything except nankang or whatever they are. Aside from that, being that we just got married on the 6th and been in Jamaica for the following 8 days, no I haven't found anything nor do I want to drive my turd XJ 3 hours away even if I did the fake name.

I think they denied you bc they know its for a 370z. Everything I found on TR with 245/30/20 has load index of 90, Z calls for something like 98.

If you really want to, just don't disclose your car, or say its for a FRS...or say it's for showroom display. I don't recommend it but that's one way to get around it

Unfortunately these have to go. Our wedding gift of having our house painted just presented a $1500 bill that was completely unexpected...
Still looking to sell locally but if you pay for boxing and shipping we can work it out. These are posted locally as well. Last edited by BrandonSS; 09-26-2013 at 11:57 AM. |
