Neilp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Yep tyre sizes are 245 on front and 275 on rear I'm sure. If not they will be very stretched on the rims at 225 and 245 Quote
Neilp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Check the tyre sizes that are on them at the moment in the pics. It will tell you the profile size and width Quote

Neilp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=176&t=55844 Theres not much about it to be honest. Need to really update it with how she looks now etc. I'll get round to it eventually lol Quote
p40ulw Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 ^ i was onyl joking mate! i found it not many members cars threads only 2 pages. are you sure 275 are the correct size for these wheels as on cam skill only 2 companies make that size toyo and another (cant remember who) and toyo were out of stock?

Gudzy Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 ^ i was onyl joking mate! i found it not many members cars threads only 2 pages. are you sure 275 are the correct size for these wheels as on cam skill only 2 companies make that size toyo and another (cant remember who) and toyo were out of stock? 245/40 front and 275/40 rear seems to be about right. The advert says the rears are toyo, so that would coincide with what you've seen on camskill. edit: Falken 452s are available in both of those sizes on camskill: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s324p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_275_40_18_275_40_R_18 http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s323p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_245_40_18_245_40_R_18 Quote

Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 275s on a 9.5" wheel? Most people run 245s on 9.5" front wheels with a 275 on a 10.5" rear If it was me I'd go 235/255 combo Quote
p40ulw Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 i wasnt going behind your back mate! just wanted to start shopping that was all thanks for the info Quote
Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 i wasnt going behind your back mate! just wanted to start shopping that was all thanks for the info I know I buy wheels that don't fit so ignore me Quote
p40ulw Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 ^now that instills confidence in a guy that just given you a none refundable (by his own choice) deposit for some wheels your selling! hahaha these do fit a 350Z right? there not for a citreon C2? Quote
Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah, these came off a Z viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59013 ^^ some pics of them on the car of the person who tricked me into taking them & also raped me Quote
p40ulw Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 thats cool i have stopped sweating now! they look really nice on that car mmmm i cant wait Quote
Keyser Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah, these came off a Z viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59013 ^^ some pics of them on the car of the person who tricked me into taking them & also raped me Now now Ian!!!! I now seem to have a set of wheels that don't fit a Zed but there is thread here that says they will ... viewtopic.php?f=32&t=62219 and it isn't rape if you say yes EDIT : What I did might be immoral though?!? Quote
Keyser Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 They would fit on a normal z They won't!!! Want a bet on it?????? I have a "normal" Zed in the front garden Still can't see how they managed to do it, without spacers they hit the suspension - very strange Quote
Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Especially as the ones in my FS thread are a lower offset & seem to sit further in Quote
p40ulw Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 im getting worried now? will they fit without spacers or not? Quote
Ian Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Yup. The wheels me & Chris are talking about are the set that I've conned him into buying Quote
