Winter Rims And Tires

Just Ordered Wheels and Tires for the Winter-- Dropped down from the 18's to 17's for snow traction... Got a good deal at "cheapwheels.com"-- Zenon painted silver for 400.. give or take === ordered P210 super sport for snows.... Has any one else used Pirelli's, and how did you like them in the snow.....?

17's aren't going to be much better in the snow...you should have bought mine

I have a set of 4 tires (Michelin Arctic Alpin) 215/55/R16 mounted on 5 spoke rims. This is a great set-up for the winter. The tires were only used last winter for 4 months and have about 8000 miles ridden on them. I had them on my 2001 AE Maxima and looked great!! I have recently sold my Maxima due to a company car and am now looking to sell this set of tires/rims. I have all necessary hardware including lug nuts and mounting spacers for a Maxima. I have 2 pics that I can send you. Please email me at agnewj@ch-mqs.com I am asking $575.00 for the set. For an additional $25.00 I will throw in a hydraulic jack and 2 stands. Thanks

How big are the 6th gen brakes???


I have 300ZX TT brakes and I would not have any problems fitting the proper 16" wheel over them
