waylander Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi All considering buying this 350z but the only thing is, the tyres on the back look way too small as there is quite a big gap between the tyre and rim. The owner says the back has 18inch alloys with the following tyre size 295/30/18 and has never been lowerd as far as he knows, what are people opinion based on this picture, has it been lowered or is it just that the tyre are too small for the alloys/car ? sorry if this image doesnt show http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/644944.htm thanks all. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largep ... ¤t=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Fixed the link for you Lowered? Its either got small wheels on or its been raised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 looks like its on a jack could be the pics or angle of the drive way but the camber on the rear looks wrong lowered reduces the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waylander Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 oops.... i realised after pressing the post button, what i really meant was, has the car suspension been altered, how embarrassing........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Doubt it. I think a very bad tyre choice has been made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yip, as Stew said in previous post "tyre size issue" Profile should be 45 and not 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Lowered? It looks like a 4x4 :lol: Completely wrong tyre size............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tyre size is all ove the place like others have said. With 295 on the rear, then 40 is about the best profile, but even then the speedo will be slightly under reading (not good, espescially when it comes to cameras!). First thing you will need to do if you buy that is buy some tyres of the correct size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 a good point to haggle the price though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bloody hell..... didnt realise that Nissan did a Monster truck version if the 350z... Does it come with ladders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 As the others have said, a 30 profile is way too small. Even then, I dont know if that would make up the difference you see there, it looks massive. Maybe the angle plus the fact the tyre is too small, but it looks suspect for sure.

3FIDDYZ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hes in Croydon near me, so if you want someone to come along and give you a 2nd opinion then am happy to lend a hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Looking at the angle of the drive, its probably been reversed up, and hand brake applied, this may make it ride up when the footbrake is released upon parking. Still the wrong tyre size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer816 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Right i drove past this car this morning, slowed traffic down to get a look. The car is on a different flatter part of the driveway now could see the whole passenger side. There does look like a big gap, looks the same on the front wheel too. Definately looks like the wrong chose of tyres as others have said. Car does look very clean tho, come to think of it i dont ever rememeber driving past and not seeing it on the driveway.
