I just got some rims
 

Hey guys

I just got rims off a 350z, the 5 spoke 35 anni edition wheels

Well I love how the car looks. I just want to fix one thing, the tires. They are the same setup as stock on the Z. Which is 225/45/18 for the fronts and 245/45/18 for the rears

Now the Wheel specs are 18x8f and 18x8.5r

So I was wondering what size tires to get? I think 235/40/18 was the right size but not 100% sure.

yes 235/40 all around will be just fine.

put the 225 in the rear and get 215 in the front.

i ran 225/40/18 all around until i changed to the sizes i just mentioned.

i now use them on my 3rd gen. i'll have to get pics soon.

I also have them on my max.Anybody close to here want to trade 2 wheels to keep them the same all around?

dont go higher or lower than the OEM specs

I am very envious of your car dude, looks SICK.

yea does look good

+1. looks like you need a lil stretch for clearance... so you can crank those teins back down. ;)

looks clean man..nice job

Thanks guys.

Now one more question, which tires are better the Potenzas that come with the Z or Toyo TR1s

Lovely

zomg. you should know the answer to that question without hesitation. T1R's = WIN.
they don't call em craptenza's for nothing. :)

potenzas and RE040s are garbage stock tires.

i still ask myself why nissan insists on putting these on out of the factory. they arent cheap at all, and the quality is sub par.

they get them for cheap!

What happens if I keep running these tires for a bit?

I'm rockin' the T1R's.... :nod:

Nothing probably. Maybe some rubbing issues. Just check once a week to make sure.

Yeah I know I am rubbing a little. It is basicallygping eat away at my tires right? And since my tires are bigger my speedo is off, that's not going to mess with my transmission is it?

Yeah, it will eat away at your tires for sure. However, if you hit a bump bad enough, it could crinkle/damage the fender slightly.

Assuming your wheels aren't extremely heavy, there will be no ill effects on your tranny. If they are heavy boat anchors, the tranny will have to work just a little harder...no biggie IMO.

showoff! :p that pic was completely unnecessary.

word! Wizard you and your ballerness. btw, your tires arent shiny enough so no show points for you :grinno:

I wanted him to get a good visual of how the T1R's totally enhance the look of the rims and distract the eyes from the tiny brakes. :grinno:

T1R's FTW. :ben:

Where can you buy them from?

yo, nice rims man... what's the next mod?

hahah!

Interior overhaul, then some extreme custom body work and a new paint job.

LOL. I'll make 'em real nice and shiny for Stillen day, k? Happy? :D

And besides, who's the baller now, Mr. 19x10....:p

BTW Thanks Wizard, I just bought T1-rs yesterday from Edge Racing....

Nice... Give us some feedback once you get them installed. :cool:

You see Blackonblack98, pics do help. :hide:

hahahahah yep will do
