I think the home made ones look much better anyway. But I would say that......

I bloody forgot to bid! I never forget to bid +1 Me too! Gutted. But then again if we had remembered, it wouldn't of gone for £77

Sorry if this scares anyone

Firstly, I'm NOT an expert and would never claim to be. A lot of my knowledge has been gained from this forum and from people that know what they're talking about like docwra. I refer to your quote below: OK, here's what I think has happened, as, under your own admission, you know nothing about cars and performance. You asked the above question as you noticed the size of the tyres fitted to your car and were then told what the standard sized tyres were. You then purchased a set of standard sized tyres. One importand factor missing is that you don't appear to of mentioned that you're running non standard wheels, that aren't the same size as the OEM ones. I think it may even be luck that you're current wheels are 18's - otherwise you'd of had even more problems! Sorry if this comes across as being a bit blunt, it's not my intention. I just hope this helps answer why your tyres don't look quite right

I think you may of caused a little confusion when you said they looked 'swollen'. This (to me) gives the impression that the tyres are too wide for the rim. But from your initial post, it did sound like they were in fact stretched and the standard OEM sized tyres that you'd bought for your wheels had been stretched (i.e. made wider than their original width by fitting them to a wheel that is wider than the original Rays. With your current set up, I'd say you have the following options if you're not happy with your wheel and tyre combo. - Buy new wider tyres that fit your current rims and maybe sell your Michelin's to recoup some dollar. - Buy (or swap) new/used wheels that fit your tyres and sell the wheels - Live with the stretched look (which some like) until the time comes to replace the tyres. (I'm assuming it's not actually unsafe, otherwise your tyre fitted and/or Mitz would of said something). The tyre fitter certainly should not of fitted them if he was concerned they were the wrong size. Regarding your pics, I/we can't see them. Easiest option for photo's is to create an account on Photobucket and copy the code into your post. Ian

Japan?

But Shane, generally someone with a lot of know-how will probably still answer your query on here anyway and probably post a nice piccie to accompany their post.......

Shane, you may get more response if you ask the question in the relevant section. You appear to have added this to the first on the list which is for forum announcements. Try a new thread here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ce-electronics/ If you state what year and model you have, this will also help

OK, so not the most exciting or scenic picture, especially compared with some of your huge landscape shots, but I like the pic. Not a massive hardcore mountain biker just yet, but want to get out on my bike more and more this year and hit (although not literally, but inevitably will be), the monkey trail and follow the dog etc.

Sounds like you really have got a good deal there mate, nice one

+1 The tyres you've bought are a perfect fit for the Rays. It sounds like the wheels you have are wider than the standard sizes and the tyres are therefore 'stretched'. If you can post a pic of your current wheels and tyres, I'm sure someone could confirm this. If you're trying to cap the spend and expense, someone may even be willing to swap their Rays (or even a spare set) for your current wheels, then you just need to chuck your tyres on 'em.

It's been said many times before, but as long as you like 'em, that's all that matters Go for it

(And yes, I know you said EACH wheel....)

Nadine please matey

I do agree Ninja. But with the recent re-paint of the front bumper, re-paint and change of wheels, different side skirts and removal of the rear spoiler, it does look a bit different now! Still a looker though

Yeah yeah yeah. "For your other half", really??? I wondered who this CD belonged to when I found it in the car park after the last West Mids meet. Must've fell out your car mate when you were showing the engine bay off I'll give it you back when I next see you.

I assume from your questions (and the fact you haven't asked) that you're OK for insurance......?

Hello and Hope all goes well this weekend, keep us posted.

Akbar's on the Hagley road is nice mate. Might cost a bit in a taxi from Dublin though mate. (You didn't specify the curry house had to be in Dublin) Have a great time on The Emerald Isle guys

Hello and . I've had (and loved) sports bikes for years, but since buying my Zed, I've hardly ridden mine - Any spare time is spent 'tinkering' or simply driving the car now, rather than taking the bike out

Hello and A lot of information can be found here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/56870-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/

Excellent!

Following Wasso's, Will's and Paddy's birthday wishes, I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish the forum's latest sprinkle a very happy birthday Have a great day Louisa

Sorry if this is a dumb noob question, but this will be my first Japfest. Does my ticket mean my car will effectively be a 'show car' along with 86 other Zeds? Best stock up on the elbow grease!

I think it is a true reflection of this forum that I had no idea what "RTFM" meant. It was only when I read your next line that I figured it out You're gonna fit right in....
