Tires are mounted. Wheels not on the Z yet.

Sick man. Those will look very good on there.

 

yeah they should look ok i suppose... stupid treads though lol :P

 

Bleach... Snwy doesn't approve of your tread pattern. You should just throw them away and cut your losses!

 

fo sho!!! haha. naw its no big, i just like to dispute things. personally, i wouldn't have gone with them, but they are pretty wide rims and its a pretty stock car so not like you need the number one tire out there

 

aaah crap! I just tossed the wheels and tires in the garbage. Next time I'll just have Snwy pick them out and send him the money.

I'll just run the factory 15" wheels for now with old used tires.

 

probably your best bet for next time. it would be the safe/smart thing huh? infact thats what everyone should do! just pay pal me at sky_viper6868@yahoo.com and we will all call it even.



but seriously, where the pics of them on the car? i know you dont have a job or anything like that so what do you do all day

 

I'm a real estate investor! I set here at my computer talking to you morans all day long waiting for my rent checks to come in! $-) haha

 

It got dark before I could get a picture... I'll update later with good pics.

 

Now ya gotta wax the car to make it shine like the wheelzzz!!!

 

wheres all your snow???


also, car is to high. must be lower by 1.5-2 inches to fix that gap

 

It melted. Today was sunny.

I totally agree! now I just need $400

 

damn, lucky, we still got like 6inches chilling on the ground. it hasnt even snowed in weeks! im ready for spring now. i miss the chirpy birds (though i heard some the other day it was cool) and the green trees and warm sun and beaches.

 

Sexy!

 

i had like 3" of snow on my Z on sunday .

and bleach, i'm sending a trained bird to poop on those wheels .

 

The front 225 tire has about 1/8 inch clearance on the inside to the strut. Its really close.

The rear 245 tire has about 2 inches clearance on the inside to the strut.

 

very nice!!! now it snowed again too, no driving for you. now it just needs to sit a bit lower, are those gonna rub if you lower it?

 

The front being slightly smaller diameter will help with clearance when lowered.
I'll look again, but I'm pretty sure there will be no rubbing issues when lowered. The rear fenders can hold some pretty wide tires.

I'm wondering if I should take the time to remove and cut the stock springs and keep the used struts just until I buy my new Tokicos.
then I have to do an alignment though hmmm... more work

Up north there was minimal snow. None of it stuck to the road. Back at my house there was no snow on the ground on Sunday. Only 1/4 inch today but its almost all gone now.

 

mercedes springs?

 

Tokico springs and struts is what I plan to buy. I don't have Mercedes springs. I sold those to Shady years ago.

 

so? go get some more

 

Before with 14" slots

wooo woooo!




Front driver's side, I can fit my fingers between the strut


Passenger side I can't get my fingers between. There is less clearance. Is this normal?


Rear has plenty of room as usual.

 

nice floor jack lol

and i dont think that clearence issue is normal.
but idk if it is it doesnt make sense to me

 

I don't use the floor jack on the tube "frame". It bends. The Nissan jacks never damage the car.

I'll look into the short side. Maybe the strut is damaged.

 

Good question BackhouseZ

They appear to be solid mount item with out the rubber or prothane bush????
This is a modification generally used on all types of cars including Z's if your setting up your car for circuit or track racing to remove excess body roll, firm up the body structure and maintain more tyre to surface area and of course for looks
