Do you mean 295/30R19?

I don't see anyone using a smaller tire diameter on a larger wheel, or is this normal?

I'd assume he meant 295/30R19. You don't want to put 18" tires on a 19" rim.

OptionZero · 03-22-2017, 02:03 PM

the fact you had to ask if an 18 would work on a 19 is amazing

Nope, the mechanic at the shop just quickly threw the front wheel on whilst in air, and said too much poke.

He didn't bolt it down or try it on the ground with a tire.

You don't need a mechanic to put rims on. Get them to mount the tires and do it your self at home.

your mechanic doesn't know jack **** about wheel fitment

its hilarious imagining you and that dude trying to figure this out

there must be some performance alignment place around that knows how to do some really basic **** and can explain it to you

it would have to be some place getting paid by the hour, cuz trying to do it on this forum just aint worth it

He does have a point about the mechanic though.

I wouldn't want some one to be angry all the time (that is just unhealthy), but I find his posts hilarious! I welcome him to stay

OptionZero · 03-22-2017, 10:23 PM

a mechanic and a customer car owner combined that didn't realize wheel fitment shouldn't be measured with the naked rim in the air and that brake fitment shouldn't be measured without the lugs tightened sounds like a great plot to a comedy about how to **** up a Z, or pretty much any car

cooltoy · 03-22-2017, 11:03 PM

An inexperienced owner can be excused (we all started somewhere), but someone calling themselves a professional should be ashamed.

Hahaha, I love how serious you are in your posts. I have to ask though, are you really generally mad IRL or are just mucking around with these sorts of posts?

I apologise if you actually have any anger issues, I don't mean to offend you if you have mental health issues.

Thank you!

Exactly my case. I am a total nub to modding. My Z is the first car I am actually ever modding, so i am new to everything. I have learned alot about forced induction and automatic transmissions over the past few months by the great information and members here! Wheels/tyres I am only just starting to venture into really.
