Bodyboarder81. Checked today after fitting the 275 rears. 285 would need rolled arches. The 275,s just fit ! Still plenty of space above the tyre.. 40 profile maybe ? Move to 255 front....spot on.

Thanks for that GM ... Still got to check whats suitable for Anodized rather than polished and lacquered rims. Meguiars got sued in the states for recommending all wheel rim wax /polish that ruined Volks gtc,s

Thanks GM.They are in need of polishing when I change them for winter. Tying to find the best rim wax cause they,re Anodised an can stain easy/

fronts rears

This tyre fitment guide might help and is part of the reason im going to try the 255 fronts Rim width-----Min tyre width-----Ideal tyre width-----Max tyre width 7.0 inches-----195 mm--------205 or 215 mm-----------225 mm 7.5 inches-----205 mm--------215 or 225 mm-----------235 mm 8.0 inches-----215 mm--------225 or 235 mm-----------245 mm 8.5 inches-----225 mm--------235 or 245 mm-----------255 mm 9,0 inches-----235 mm--------245 or 255 mm-----------265 mm 9.5 inches-----245 mm--------255 or 265 mm-----------275 mm 10.0 inches----255 mm--------265 or 275 mm-----------285 mm 10.5 inches----265 mm--------275 or 285 mm-----------295 mm 11.0 inches----275 mm--------285 or 295 mm-----------305 mm 11.5 inches----285 mm--------295 or 305 mm-----------315 mm 12.0 inches----295 mm--------305 or 315 mm-----------325 mm 12.5 inches---305 mm---------315 or 325 mm-----------335 mm

Just trying to get more pics from photo bucket. Bit of a dinosaur at this !

Exhaust is an in Invidia Gemini dual with Titanium tips Current tyre sizes are 235/35 et 21 front and 255/35 et 24 rear. Stretched but changing tomorrow. http://www.filmon.com/tv/api/channel/13?session_key=447522f7ba37f8f1b157731960a22f37&quality=high

Had my HR done after fitting Cobra hfc,s and Invidia dual exhaust. No need for plenum spacer on the HR. Moved bhp from 313 to 333 Car revs quicker in 1 to three. Just seem to change gear earlier. Can,t say it accelerates more just revs higher before changing.

Congratulations. IMO. You,re here once....go and blow the lot on yourself and those closest to you. Oh,and don,t forget to buy another lottery ticket....could be 2 mill next time !

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.Really encourages me to move forward with the planned mods. Davie wagon. They were re aligned after Falcon fitted them. Gonna need them checked again tomorrow when I replace the tyres. Kyler ...245,s are what others use with 275's rear. The tyre manufacturers consider 245 as the lower acceptable size on 9.5 j,s 265 being the optimum. Gonna try my rear 255,s on the front and new 275's on the rear to see whether there is any rubbing / handling problems. If so I will just slot new 245's on. My rear 255's are near new. Gixxer currently Bridgestone Potenzas r050. Quite stretched. Keyser ..... Followed your build thread and saw it on eBay...tempted to buy that one as we'll ... Amazing job and a good buy for a lucky new owner. Thanks again everyone.

These are Teins 17 front and 14 rear. Fitting wider tyres tomorrow 275 rear and 255 front. both on 19,s 9.5j and 10.5 j

compliments indeed from someone with so many posts. Thanks a lot

couple more

as promised a few snaps after lowering hope this one follows the first photo.

Sometimes called San Marino Blue from the back and the front

Problem sorted. Thanks guys

Cars just come back from Falcon and it's started locking itself when I,m away from the car and without pressing the fob ! Bit dangerous if I leave the keys in the car for more than 1 minute. Is there a switch somewhere to stop this ? Cheers

Delsey.. Looks like I may have a little room to play with. Be interesting to see the fit tomorrow and if it works could save me the cost of two tyres. Buster, thanks for the info. Those rears must look awesome. Any noticeable difference in handling ? Cheers guys

Zeus Thanks for the reply. Every little bit helps.

Desey Them nuts are off a Challenger tank ! Seriously, those photos really help. Looks a pretty tight fit there. Any estimate of how much your coilovers have dropped the car ?

gm. As you suggested two weeks ago, the lowering has really improved the look already and is not detracting from the classy look of the car. Had it waxoiled yesterday and that makes the underneath look much better. Having the Z emblem embossed into the headrests soon. Going fo a run over the Dales tomorrow for some photography so will post up some pics

Hi Desey. I,m on 19 " rims and thee is still a fair gap above the tyres. two fingers rear... 1.5 front

Thanks for that gm .Spoke to mitz before I lowered when I was considering 245 front and 275 rear which seems the norm when lowered. Just trying to save the current rears. I presume you moved from original setup on rays. Did you notice any difference in the ride ?

Hi all Continuing modifications , I have lowered the car on Teins by 17 mill front and 14 mill rear. Current wheels fit and are volks gtc,s sizes 9.5 j front and 10.5 rear. current tyres... 235/35/r19 front et 21 255/35/r19 rear et 24 I,ve been advised 245 front 275 rear question ... can I put the rear tyres on front (255 ) and 275 rear ? will the fronts fit at 255 now its lowered. My current rears are hardly worn. grateful for advice from any member who has gone down this route. cheers
