    Here's what the same type of wheels looks like on Ben's Z;

    Is your rear tyre a teensy bit narrow for your rim? Just looks a little odd thats all :zlove:

    otherwise, sex.

    its the only way to make em fit. that looks porn! i do believe you're the first in aus to do get these on a Z32.

    any guard rolling? if you plan on lowering it you may need to roll the guards. oh and it needs a lower badly.

    its got a 255/30/19 Perelli P Zero Rosso, its fits it pretty good i know it should have a 275/285 on it but i cant roll the guards cos the left guard has the slightest bit of bog in it due to a carpark incident cos someone couldn't see me.
    So if they start gettin hammered away it will just crack but i am considering gettin that inner lip on the wheel arch cut back all together, good to hear some suggestions on what you think about doing that.

    You bet i do mountain runs :D i got about 50km of mountain road only 10 mins from home happily sticks to the road doin 90km/h on a 35km/h bend :):)

    I was hoping to be the first in aus :D i will be lowering it but that wont be for a while till i save up the money for coilovers. Plan to cut that lip on the guard back as the left guard cant be rolled.
    It does need lowering badly still got stock suspension on it :eek:

    yer why? it was doin it with the stockys. the road is smooth as well btw, only on some places where the road is rough on the bends it ever so slightly rubs but i slow down on those bends and no rubbing :)

    Has anyone else got the same size rears as i have 19x10" +30?? What is the max size tyre you can go after rolling the guards? Is it possible to pump the rear guards out a bit,
    i think a few people have done it but how is it done? Will it need to be resprayed?

    Currently have 255/30/19, with rolled guards a 265/30/19 would deffinatly fit. Is this the max i can go or will a bit of camber get a 275/30/19 is there more to be filled:D

    Thanks :)

    10" +30 it's sticking out almost 50mm more than stock. you're gonna need a flare.

    you could also give it some major camber say 5 degrees and get away with just a roll but that would be silly as the amount of tyre not making contact with the road is gonna make it accel like crap.

    btw running 285s on a NA is counter productive, too much grip, not enough power = go slower. just stick with the 255s or go @ the most 265.

    I run a 18x10+38. So only 10mm difference with no rolling and I run a 285/30.
