  1. Don't start opening that can of worms. ..... There are tables on the US 350Z site about how much more air you need etc etc, then you have th UK suck it and see approach along with mucho derision of the Yanks thinking you need more etc etc etc etc it's simply put a bloody nightmare... But fyi 37 all round as 35 was grinding the rims on these god awful british roads It's not a can of worms at all. In fact I am trying to help you. You have asked for help and that's what I am doing. One of the causes of floating or wallowing, is to little pressure in the tyres. Bouncing around is to much pressure. Sorry to have helped you.!! Wasn't a criticism of you or your offer of help it's just the whole tyre pressure issue has been done to death over many threads and that is what I was alluding to , sorry if I've offended you in any way, was never my intention

    Suspension is not damaged, no bits are missing bent or otherwise borked, geometry was checked after I bought the car as that was my first thought, the undertray is intact. I dont think its actual lift more a feeling of lightness or divorce from what the car is doing in relation to my input. I will get to the bottom of it

    Lift

    looks higher than stock to me but didn't all those others too ?, if it is it means the previous owner has uprated shocks and springs all round .....but the ground clearance looks right and next to all those Zds at Beaulieu it didnt look higher at all..... Oh bugger it.....would explain it though we need a clearance off...get out and measure your graound clearance ..sill to road and we'll compare

    Different websites different figures if you go to www.wheelsizecalculator.com and put in 350Z front it says my fronts should be 245 35 20 not the 30s I have

    No not lowered, the rolling circumference though is less 2057.7mm against 2129.1mm for the standard rays

    Lift

    so im assuming you've end up increased the gap between the road and your underside with these wheels, which would yes cause lift and cause unstable compared with stock ground clearance That's an assumption though as the rolling circumference is altered through the use of rubber band tyres etc you'd think not. As an aside 350Z ownership is not cheap so with my P3 all fluids and belts and plugs booked for next Wednesday this will have to wait. Though it eould be nice to get to the bottom of it.

    Indeed...I used to roadtest performance cars pre- delivery back in the day and I have driven many a high powered vehicle on roads where legal at speeds well in excess of our paltry nsl

    Lift

    OK they are 30s the wheels and spacers where fitted by the previous owner, the aalignment was done by Nissan ( have a receipt ) and subsequently checked by my independant when I bought the car, in the history that came with the car there is no mention of adjustable control arms etc Fyi the rolling radius is pretty much spot on as the speedo is within the excepted misread ie is reading 3mph higher than actual as verified on a rolling road using dot approved equipment. Thanks for your input.

    Thats what I thought...maybe its just that my 20" have upset the balance as the aero is of course designed around 18" .
