UPDATE: New Wheels and Tires

Post by Neo Zeon » Thu Mar 21, 2024 10:49 am

An update from my last post.

I was looking for a wheel and tire combination for my Z. I ended up with some wheels from a M2 and a 285 30 19 tire in the rear( funnily enough when test fitting I accidentally fit the 285 to the 19x9 wheel, not sure how that fit but it did)
Special thanks for B21 for guidance on my still continuing build.
Here are the results.

That looks pretty sweet, nice one! :thumbsup:

glad to know some 285s do fit a 9" rim, even if by accident... got some 275s waiting to go on a 9" rim and i thought that was a bit of a squeeze!

For clarity sake. It was an AS Michelin Pilot Sport 3+ that I fit, which is visably thinner than the AS M.P.S 4 I went with in the rear, despite both being 285 30 19.

What brakes are those ?
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Ceika BBK! They have some great bite with them! Super easy install even with the parking break option.

They featured me on the Z4 header after the GT car :roll: kinda neat

That really is one of the best colours for the Zed. Is that Mineral Grey? Looks sick.

235/35/19. Mechanic said if I wanted to keep 19s I could probs get away with 245 but nothing bigger.


Then again another set of mechanics said I wouldn't be able to fit a 285 back there either so
