turboHLS30 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 That looks really good! Do you want to sell the 280z insulators? Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Very jealous, are those with the coils? Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 That looks really good! Do you want to sell the 280z insulators? I used the front insulators and since one of my rears tore in half basically, I got some 240Z fronts and used those for the rear (and fabbed up some spring perches). BUT if you really need some, I have one good rear insulator, and can get another one from pick n pull for you? Very jealous, are those with the coils? Yes, and I used a little trick to not blow them and still go low haha Quote Link to comment

Alex Datsun Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 When taxes come in pay a loan off n get some REAL wheels lol Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 lol i am getting "real" wheels, not xxr or rotas... but not volks either haha Quote Link to comment
turboHLS30 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 But XXR's and Rota's are JDMMADTYTEYO! :( Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 lol and none of them fill out flares like i want them to without spacers Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 so im starting out with 15x8 -39 all around, probably going to run 165/45's for now (because they are dirt cheap haha). Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Holy small tires stretch batman. Pics or never happened Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is a 165/45 on a 15x8. I used to work at discount tire and that is ridiculous, not a lot of shops are going to even attempt that. I personally would go with a 225/50/15 Falken Azenis RT615 but they are on national back order :( If your going to be running some 15x8's with that much neg offset you should stick some better rubber on there like atleast a 195 or something. with a 165/45 when your Speedo says your going 65, your really going 54 miles per hour. Not accounting for the loss of sidewall height when it is stretched like that. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 i know, im trying to find either bigger sidewalls or 185's, probably going with 185's though because my friend has a buyer for his tires.... but if they dont come through ill get them for free :) Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 My friend has 195/50's i think and they fine, 225/50 would have some rub u would think at the height jz's at. Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 My friend has 195/50's i think and they fine, 225/50 would have some rub u would think at the height jz's at. Good point but he mentioned he was doing flares. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 225's still dont fly lol Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 225's still dont fly lol Crazyoctopus on hybridz has 225/50/15's on his 15x10's with flares and they fit perfect. I'll be doing 245/50/16's on my 16x10s when I get them. :D Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 yes im doing flares, BUT crazyoctopus (love his car!) isnt NEAR as low as im going to be... so the stretch is somewhat (pretty much is) necessary for the offsets ill be working with... when i get the actual wheels i REALLY want, they will be 15x10 with close to -50 offset, but my turbo build up will come before those haha Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 got the temp wheels that I actually REALLY like haha Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I just discovered this build thread! lol lookin good. What wheels are these? ^ Quote Link to comment
