Now that's what I'm talking about! My wheels are finally shipping Monday so hopefully be here mid-week then I can get mine mounted up. Definitely looking forward to it. Kinda glad I wasn't able to get the DA's in a 325 after all Last edited by ChaseZ; 02-16-2017 at 06:35 PM. |

Thanx Russ!
This means a lot,coming from the "Originator" of the 345's out back on 12's!!! As it was Your ~Z~ that got me wanting these Full-Sized meat's on the corner's of the chassis.

A couple notes on the 325/285 RE-11 set up on my white 2010 a few pages back.
Car is flat fast in corners. So much lateral g now that it is apparent that better sway bars are needed - in the front for sure. Ive never owned a car that would corner like this. Took it to the drag strip last Sat, and was a little disappointed in the hook from the 325 RE-11. Also paid a penalty in rotating weight because the rig was slower across all timers than I expected. Sixty foots were 2.18-2.20 where they were 2.12-2.14 with 275 Potenzas previously. I found the 325 RE-11 on the 2013 Nismo wheel to be 3 lbs heavier than the original 275 Potenza on Ray/sport wheels. Not that much different. Mileage is down about 2 mpg as well, but don't care. Ride is improved, and tire noise is only noticeable at 45mph. Steering effort has increased with the 285 fronts, but I like it better this way. Car tracks perfectly, and is hands off at 75 mph on the rough Oklahoma interstates. Very pleased overall, but ordered some 285/35/19 MT ET Street SS to use on the dragstrip, we will see how they perform. |

Now you've got me thinking about the extra weight from the larger rubber. The 345 DA are 38lbs a piece! The new rims are only 19lbs, but the combo still isn't flyweight by any means.
Maybe I'll have to consider a second set of rears for DD duty. It's too bad there are no 325/35-18 available anymore in, well, pretty much anything. There is a Toyo Proxes TQ in 315/35-18 that comes in at 32lbs, and really that's the only viable alternative that comes to mind. Anyone have suggestions that I'm not thinking of??

These tires/wheels on mine will not see the Dragstrip. At 10lbs heavier per each & being N/A for now...surly would be slower in 1/4 mile; just my cruising/mountain riding wheels.
They are smoother & quieter than my previous Nitto 555g2 or Goodyear F1 Eagles (245/45,275/40/18) on base wheels. I've made a total of 9 passes in 1/4 mile over past 2.5 years (not much) but I am able to achieve 1.90's on my 60'. Anticipating my 24,25mpg going away....as this was consistent every tank...but I love them so far; no complaints...may even encourage a gear swap to compensate/ no need for 200+ mph 3.357 diff. The ride is amazing & handling,drive ability is much improved. Was a bit leary of a 285/35 on a 10" wheel up-front...but really shocked me how well they feel. Over next several weeks I'll post fuel mileage difference;as these larger diameter drive wheels have the speedometer dead on...so my 24,25'ish was being slightly fudged. Have a great day...it's Friday!!!

I'm trying to recall but the number that jumps out to me for base 18" rears is something like 22lbs. Knowing the 275 RE11 I've been running are 31lbs that should be roughly 54lbs, so really I'm looking at an extra 3lbs with the new wheels and 345's. I can live with that. Good thing the new rims are lighter though to compensate otherwise it would have been real easy for the weight to be much greater than it's going to be.
Thanks for making me contemplate these things more specifically than I otherwise may have. The 3% difference in diameter remains the piece I'm curious about how it will affect the end result now. |
