i might have a traction problem!!!! lol

hope with these, traction will not be a problem

well i got my tires in. they are hankook hr II. 406 shipped i could not argue. The fronts are 255/40/17 and the rears are 275/40/17. All hugging the RBR rota 17x9 and 17x9.5. I really cant put them on the z this moment bc of how low she is and im also waiting on my zg flares to come in friday. i have the zg mounting kit so this weekend ill be cutting up some fenders








if yall are wondering whats the total price of all this (rims,tires,mount/balance,zg flares,zg mounting kit) close to 1400 give or take.

no way in hell these will tuck in. my 15x8 with 225 have enough hard time tucking. these have -13 and -19 offset so cutting is a must

i can't wait to see those on there. so those will be 9 and 9.5" wide? i've been looking and looking and i can't find how wide 280zforces wheels are. his look pretty sweet. it looks to me like it would handle like a beast with wheels like that too. what's the downside to wheels like that?

As long as the brakes are strong, it will help braking through the increased traction. But if they are not strong enough then yeah.

i bet you could make a decent one but what do you think you can get? and you will need to do ALL the work yourself for any money to go far. also, that was pretty much implied ratfink, thats why i stated rotational mass... or at least meant to. not the actual like it wont make enough traction or something haha

Dude... We cannot read straight from your brain. You need to get it onto the thread in a way people understand, or don't get upset when people don't get what you "meant".
I don't always work off of "pretty much implying" and I am not sure everyone else does. So, I try and spare some of the n00blets out there from your implications. lol

well, waiting til next summer, when the rest of the little problems are fixed, and i can put it on the side of the road with all the boaters going by, i don't think i'll take less than 5k for the z32. snw, i always do all my work myself. nobody has ever worked on my car other than to align it.

haha well it can have some rust.... but they really do all have rust whenever i find them. if i feel like dealing with some rust, my uncle's got one i could get for about, -$5. it may be worth doing all the body work just cause i could get the car for tic tac or something.

Just come to AZ.

I think I should start shipping AZ trucks and cars over to the rust areas. I could make some serious cash. I was looking at vehicles with "little rust" in MN, and the prices were ridiculous.
