[QUOTE=HGS_G][QUOTE=allforthecash]I installed the rims...but i do have some more comments...i think the front rim/tire sticks out too much...by 1/4"....does anyone have any comments about 8.5 front and 10.5 rear?? is that TOO much stagger for the cars handling??

What size are your wheel combo, 8.5 front and 10.5 rear? Wat size tires do you have on the front wheels? Can't see why a 8.5 wheel would stick out?
I have a 9.5 right now...and i think the 245 tire on it is too small (as bzabodyn said) the 8.5 would look better or i should put a 255 tire on

damn, sorry to hear about the fronts - you can run an 8.5 +25 front (there is actually a black coupe here with the same setup - 8.5 +25, 10.5 +29 in GOLD) - look in the wheels section for black cars for pics...

like I said before - 245's are just too narrow for 9.5" wheels - I'm really sorry that everything didn't turn out - I really wish I had Brembos so I could tell you if my front wheels fit them for sure or not...

another suggestion would be to lower your car - the increased camber that will be a result might actually get the wheels to somewhat "fit" a little better than they do now... I don't really know, I'm just really sorry everything didn't turn out - they look awesome though!

After looking again - I just think you need to lower it about an inch - the increased camber will get them to look like Tony's car and if you still don't like that (because of the stretched look of the tires) you can go with the 255 up front like me, Tony, and Baumer are running - I would NOT however, change your rims - I'm pretty sure you'd be in for another 2+ month wait if you did that...

Get you some Tein S-techs for the 350Z and see if that solves the problem...

Yes u are right.....lowering the car would tuck away the tires...they are not bad the way they are...its just the front STRETCHED look is not good.....I'll probably do 255 with my next set or if screw up one of the tires in front

QUESTION #2...what did you torque your bolts at? i have them at 80lbs...too lazy to look into the manual :-)

#3....will the dealer LUG NUT KEYS fit the VR-SF Winning?? or will it be too big.....
