Today I bought my Z32 TT wheels with tires off a friend. Great condition, just dirty (sorry no pics yet). Problem is that they shake alot after 70mph. They have weights on the edges from the last time they were balanced, however I do not know when that was, as these wheels have been in storage for well over a year. Obviously I'm going to have them rebalanced ASAP. But I wanna know if....

#1 For the people that have Z32 wheels on their 4th Gen Max, did you need hubcentric rings at all? Or is the hub size the same on both the A32s and Z32s?

(BTW, for those that dont know, Z32 TT wheels are 16x7.5 up front, 16x8 in the rear and the tires are 225/50 up front, 245/50s in the back).

#2 In my case I have Falken Ziex (w/e) 225/50VR-16s all around. Would there be a problem with my putting 245/50s in the back and the regular 225/50s up front? Some of my friends think that will make the car understeer like a ****. Some say it wont do anything negative, just help keep the rear end planted around turns instead of sliding off on me. What's your imput on that?

I appreciate any relevant input, thanks people...

lol :P

 

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I have one bent rim! Front driver rim. Gee, that could explain the shaking. The guy at TK showed it to me on the balancing machine and it was wabbling slightly.

I'll get that fixed after next pay check. Until then, i can't go above 70-75mph w/o shaking... Bah, still got a good deal on those wheels and tires, so I can't complain if ONE rim was bent. so I'm still happy

 

Welcome to the vibration club..

lol

 

I run 225's in front and 205's rear and still can't the car to come around. This summer I'll play with 245/225 but expect similar results. Maybe I'm just not driving fast enough

 

just for info..... Z32 and A32 share the Nissan 66.1mm hub ..... TT wheels are 7.5 front with a 225/50/16 and 8.5 in the rear 245/45/16 .... NAs use front wheels on all 4 corners.... if I were you.... instead of repairing the bent front rim I would look for another pair of TT rears.... then run them all around
