Time for the 10s.

I guess it just depends on how bad you want it to go well! The car is never going to leave to its potential on 19s. 18s are better, but

I guess it just depends on how bad you want it to go well! The car is never going to leave to its potential on 19s. 18s are better, but still not that great and many wheels will already require caliper modification. But once you see how minor the caliper modification is you will get over it quickly... it takes only a few minutes per side and its done and its like it never happened and you only have to do it the one time.

If you want to build a dedicated drag car, I would highly recommend avoiding a 370z LOL.

If it really kills you to grind them down, send them out to Mike for a fresh powdercoating afterwords... then they will be better than new!
