Ahh...UPS ground....expected deliverly date....March 21.

I love the tracking thingy.

I'm thinking of getting Khumo 712's or SP8000's. Any other ideas. I know those are both great tires and around 75 for the 712's and 85 for the 8000's.

225/50 16's.

BTW: The z rims are only 16lbs a piece..even with them being 7.5 inches wide

Niiice.
you'll be happy..
be sure and order some 1/4" wheel spacers when you order tires. you'll need 'em.

I'd stick with the 712s.. I've heard very good things about them.

I also love my P7000ss, but they're rather pricey and don't last long. (installed last may, bald in March after 15k miles)
supposed to last 40k, but obviously I drive a little hard for that.
kinda funny how I've worn out 2 sets of brake pads in the same time I wore out one set of tires too.
blah blah blah..
buy the Khumos.

You need help

Yea....the 712's seem fine. I'm not a hard driver...BUT these damn sp4000's squeal anytime I try to have fun. Actually..they're decent in the snow and I've put around 18K miles on em and they look NEW. The tread is really deep.

With the short damn summer here in buffalo I'll have em on from April-November.

Should I get the spacers from H&R? all four corners? Stillen?

I just need my sways and I'll a full setup..woohoo! I have a feeling this car is going to handle like its on rails when I'm finished.

you only NEED rear spacers, but I recommend getting all 4.
you'll need new studs also...

I'd say H&R are your best bet.. they make a high quality part..
can probably find them locally if you want to pay a little more. try a wheel shop or import shop and see if they have/can get them. if that doesn't work, just call up H&R and go from there.

What's the difference between the H&R spacers and a regular wheel spacer? I have 1/4" spacers on my front wheels now because of brake clearance issues w/ my 19"s, but I don't like the reduced number of threads holding my wheels on. I've been trying to get longer wheel studs, but nobody the shop calls carries ones that fit a Maxima.

I say get the bridgestone RE730. The handle well, and wear even better. I've got about 8k and 6 auto-x exents on my tires and they still look new. They are 110 at tirerack, also turbomax95 can get a hold of them also, but I'm not sure what the price will be.
