Hi mate, they are just loose tyres so assuming they haven't got dirty in the delivery van you should be ok. Might be worth a sheet though if you have one if they are wet etc.
-
Lovely wheels and top quality....had a set in 19" on my last car. My concerns though... 1 - They are not offering a wider rear....I would advise running a wider tyre on the rear otherwise you will loose stability to a degree. 2 - He says they will fit a Z and 200SX (both 5 x 114.3 PCD's) as well as an A4 (5 x 112 PCD) If it is only a single set he has then you need to make sure they are a 5 x 114.3 fitment. You can fit a 5 x 112 PCD wheel to the Z but you will have to use what is known as a wobbly bolt and I would not recommend this at all!!! They may be doing just a general advertisment for general Kahn wheels in which case, it is worth sending them a message to see what they can offer for the Z. Hope this helps, Andy

I can recommend Wicked Wheels in Crawley...I know it is a bit far but worth mentioning just in case.....speak with Roger on 07766 552 003 and tell him Andy from RnR sent you and he should do you a trade price deal.

Awesome!! This is really taking off now!!! Let's go with the 10th as most people seem more at ease with that date. As far as locations and routes go I am easy, don't know the area too well so am more than happy to go with the flow so long as there are some Shell petrol stations en route!!!
-
Yeah, count me in!!
-
Stop it, i'm gonna cry in a minute!! Feel the love!!!!! Seriously though, glad to help out mate and will be good to catch up on the 10th at the meet!

Indeed the T1-S has now been discontinued in the majority of sizes but are still available in some common sizes such as 225/40/18, 225/45/17 and 195/50/15 etc. The T1-S's are generally cheper as they are not the dual compound and don't last as long but they definatley haven't been discontinued in the T1-R range. Would be interesting to see what price they could do them for though....any chance of asking them about the T1-R's??
-
That is brilliant!!!
-
One does try!! Thanks guys, glad you got the tyres ok Steve!
-
The speedo etc will all be fine as you just compensate with a lower profile tyre on the rear to keep the rolling diameter the same. For example I am running 245/35/20 on the front and 275/30/20 on the rear on 9's and 10's.

Bap, those comments are pure genius!!!!! I got my Z as I had my old Ford Cougar (no comments please) for just over 4 years, I have been working my ass off and I wanted to treat myself. It simply ticked all the boxes for me...rwd, 2 seater, looks cool, good base power etc I would be a blatent liar if I said I didn't love the attention the car gets, especially with the VS kit and 20's on but I have to honestly say I don't play up to it when I do get the attention. I simply roll on by with a smug grin on my face. As for being stereotyped, I have seen all kinds of people driving Z's near me. Young women in Roadsters up to older men who seem quite content to pootle about as if it were a Rover 416!
-
The price will stay at the £450 mark for as long as I can keep them there. There are rumours of a Toyo price rise in February but it is unconfirmed at the moment but hopefully we will be able to maintain them at that price. What sizes are you running on the 19's and i'll work out a price for you mate.
-
Damn, sorry to hear it all mate. Hope you get it all sorted quickly and with minimal effort.
-
Innit!!!! Me West Coast can drift betta van yor Z innit! Tossers!
-
Normally it is very good. The Jap drivers tend to just park up and chat but every now and again you get the odd Saxo or Corse driver thinking they can drift!! There is also space underground if it rains!
-
Might pop down if another Z is going to be there!! Have been a few times before but seems to be getting ruined by the usual chavs/moped gang recently!
-
Sorry I haven't been on for a couple of days but my facial growth is pretty special I can assure you!! Looks like the 10th is going to be the best choice in that case! Can anyone suggest any routes up that way? Might go and have a reccy this weekend and see what I can find!
-
Right guys, have had a good old chat with my Toyo rep and after plying him doughnuts and coffee, he has agreed to do us a special price on the Z setup of 225/45/18 & 245/45/18. We currently have 2 complete Toyo T1-R sets in stock and will keep stock from now on and I can now offer them for £450 including delivery and vat. Delivery will be on a next day basis to mainland UK so long as you order them before about 3.30 otherwise we will miss our courier!! Let me know guys!!

Andy - 3rd or 10th Lugger Hanel Captint Stevie350z Pingu2 - 3rd or 10th mugwump Anymore for anymore???
-
How about the 3rd or the 10th??? How are people set for dates etc?
-
Awesome, lets do this then!! A run out sounds like a quality idea. If we head towards Goodward as well, there is a very nice pub called the Fairmile in Cobham....dead easy to find and loads of room to park. Could be a decent end point for some lunch/dinner?? Have organised a few meets there and if enough of us are going to go down, they will section a part of the car park off for us. http://www.goodpubrestaurants.co.uk/show_restaurant.tpl?restaurant=339 This is the link to the pub with map etc. What dates are people free or not free...probably the best start point I guess! Cheers, Andy
-
Couple of tyre questions not about the type though...
Andy replied to Kennydies's topic in 350Z General
Have to agree with the others, I would probably recommend against going for different front and back....but then again I would say that!! Let me know if you're after some new rubber mate as we are still doing our deals on Toyo's and other rubber as well!! Cheers, Andy -
Does anyone fancy having a south-east meet? Now i've got the z, would be good to meet up with a few people from the forum!! I'm happy to organise something if a few are interested. Cheers, Andy
-
Probably looking for about £300 for the wheels. (Someone please tell me if I am way off the mark here!!!!) The rear tread isn't brilliant but you will get a fair few miles out of them still. The fronts are shot but I can provide new tyres at a cheap price if you are interested. Thanks.

Dash - sorry mate, I have re-read my post and yes you are correct. Having re-read it, my post was rather vague. I only posted it as I don't want to see anyone on here get led up the garden path. Your statement is totally correct and so long as they are e-marked it is all ok and I should have probably said that in my original post. The point I was trying to make was that we only provide tyres that are cleared for use in the UK. We do a lot of business with the local "cruise" scene in the area where we are based.....206's on 22's etc and to get tyres that fit the cars a lot of them are running non-uk road legal tyres....kinda makes you dispair when they spend £50k+ doing the car up and it's not insured properly as they had to import non-uk road legal tyres. I'll get you a price for the tyres you are after mate and hopefully we can help you out. Cheers, Andy
