i did the same thing. i read every page. and unless i missed a picture of it...
does anyone have a pic of
ES 1.1.2
19x 9.5 + 22 in hyper black for front
19 x 11 + 25 in hyper black for rear
on DG if possible.
Tires that i want to put on would be 245s up front, 275 in the rear.
I'm on 350z tien H springs, with a minor fender roll in the rear for my oem 18's with 31mm spacers. It's my DD, and i'll be upgrading to BC coils in the future, but I want to get my wheels first (or get my vortech V3 first, haven't decided). I don't track my car, but I might try it in the future. I take corners moderately hard sometimes for fun. I can do a full fender roll in the rear if necessary. I'm not bothered about that.
what do you guys think of those specs on the ES 1.1.2 lm reps for my setup / driving style?
thanks in advance!

Alternatively, i wait until after i go FI and keep my stock 18's on 225's and 245s. I'm just worried about traction issues.

those specs will be completely fine for where your at now....all depends on how low you are gonna go once you get your coilovers

thanks for the reply, actually i was wrong. I'm on S tech springs for the 350z, and i am now considering the +12 front, and +15 rear offset with 255/35 up front, and 285/35 in the rear. both 19s. do you think i'll be okay with that? I want more of a flush look. I assume I'll have to completely roll the rear fender?Originally Posted by ambiguous113

i wouln't go with such a thick tire front and rear....with just being on springs you should be fine with 245/35 front and 275/35 rear and yes you will need to get a deep roll on the rear fenders

gotcha. that was the original setup i was going to go, but I'm still learning the tire/wheel setups. there's so much info. what would a 245/30 and 275/30 look like? i understand the 30/35 is the... thickness of the tire? correct? so 30 would be skinnier than a 35? i had read around that people advise against the 30, but not entirely sure why.Originally Posted by ambiguous113

i have 275/30 in the rear right now and i won't be doing that again....just not enough sidewall for me and makes the ride less comfortable....if you ever want to go down in tires i would go 265/35 isntead of a 275/30 anyday just for the extra sidewall
But yes just stick with the 35 sidewall and not 30's

sounds good, and when i eventually go to BC coils, will the 35 sidewall still be okay? I want a little bit of tire tuck to look sweet, but not too much as this is my daily, and i want some clearance still lol.Originally Posted by ambiguous113

yes...better to do everything at the same time instead of switch again once you get your coils

Got my wheels today, so excited!!

Used custom valve stems that have no black rubber showing


Gold SR48's


Here is my dog, not quite as tall as the rim is wide

BTW these are my fronts
and I am stripping the clear off the lips tomorrow and hand polishing them following some opti-seal
