Well the wheels will be a square setup 8.5 all round. As the oem six spoke wheels are also a square setup 8.0 all round but are fitted with wider tyres on the rear than the front I thought that would be the way to go, is that right?

Hi, could a tyre expert suggest tyre sizes for an 18" x 8.5 square setup please? I haven't got the foggiest

Hi, just trying to identify my tyres. They are Bridgestone Potenzas, I can tell that much but only other marking I can see is E050AZ. Am i right in thinking these would be what are normally reffered to as the RE050A?

Thanks in advance.

I rang up Norwich main dealer and got quoted a good price a few weeks ago (VAT free offer). So I called the usual Nissan dealer I use at halesworth and they matched the price. Under £300 for a p3 if I remember rightly.

 

I feel your pain. Had it serviced last month, and next weekend I got MOT, tax, and 2 rear tyres. And I may have driven past you on the A47 last sunday night!

That would have been me!

Aaaarh,

Is it just me or is the forum time an hour fast? Does it not change when the clocks change or something? Just noticed it as the timing of a post I was reading was 30mins in the future! Fair enough if it's always been like it Ive just not noticed before.

if you wait till the end of thr week i might have something that interests you

Oooh, now you got my attention. Really want a carbon type dash of some sort.

I did pm epr through the site and had no reply

I'm close to going for one of these only thing stopping me is that the gear surround part looks slightly the wrong shape, I did pm the seller a while ago about fitment but never heard anything. What people think?

Last year I slid on ice into the neighbours driveway and couldnt get out again. Eventually managed it by getting more weight in the back, namely my dad.

Darlings is fantastic for dancing girls ect ect. Spent a few great nights in the karlovy lazne, £1 a pint, open all night and women of every nationality in there! It's spread over 5 or 6 floors with different music on each. Love Prague.

I just compared my postcode (SW London) against yours on compare the meerkat and got exactly the same quote so maybe it's not area based... wish I hadn't though, 30 seconds after getting a quote I got a phone call asking if I wanted insurance!

South West London and North East Norfolk, couldnt get much more different. Shows how pointless trying to rationalise car insurance is.

Im 28 with 7yrs no claims and with Direct Line aswell, mine went from £380 to £490 this year and i was peeved with that! I feel fortunate now.

 

Makes me think there were a lot of thefts or something in the OP's area. What's your postcode?

NR9

Those cars look diabolical.

+1 look like they have had rick waller driving them with michelle mcmanus in the passenger seat and a boot load of brick rubble. Rank.

Excuse my ignorance but I take it the same would apply in reverse then? I would need the geometry adjusting if I ever went from the oem square setup to a staggered one? If that's the case you are saying cars left the factory with different geo setups depending on whether they had upgraded to Rays or not? That's useful info to know if true.

 

i thought the Zed came with a staggered setup from the factory. i know the rays are staggered, so were the 19" nismos and the gt4 wheels.

 

were the stock oem sizes a square setup?

 

i would have thought the car would be set to the wheels. all systems would have to be set up once the cars built as each car is different.

Yep, stock oem is a square setup. 8j all round.

Posting on my phone takes an age, you hadn't posted when I started!

wrong! Rays were an option on uk cars (at least to begin with, can't be sure they didn't later become standard.) See reference to it in this article http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... _350z.html. Many uk cars didn't come with rays but the standard six spokes, mine included and I prefer them.

Not interested in these personally but thought someone may be, apologies if posted before but not seen them myself.

Rays are not standard oem, they're an option. standard 18' s are 8"all round.

see here http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/350Z_OEM ... ifications

Like that, mind telling me where you got it?

The standard oem is a square setup with wider tyres on the rear, they are only 8"wide though. Not sure how wider ones would handle.

I would quite like some of these for next summer

Just from googling they seem reasonably priced too, wouldnt mind a quote for some 18s + rubber if any traders on here supply them? Not seen them on a Z yet.

It was on the radio yesterday that car insurance generally has gone up this year but thats a big big jump. Mine went from £380 to £490 which wasnt so bad, if it had gone up that much I would have had to considered selling up! Direct Line are cheapest for me.
