Look what got delivered today. Just need to wait for my new front tyres to come, then wait for my fitter to get back off his hols before I can get them.on the car.

Sorry about the orientation of the pics.

They look lovely. :thumbsup:

I hope you post a photo once you've got them fitted!

Nice. What tyres are you going for?

I'm swapping the rears I have on already that I had put on only a few months ago and they are Kumho ku93 and the fronts will be kumho ps91's
I had these tyres on my last Z and couldn't fault them even after a couple of trackdays.

Nice 8) what sizes / offsets did you go with in the end Nige ?

Like the ones I sent you the link to ages ago Andy.
19x8.5 et35 fronts
19x9.5 et40 rears
Fronts I'll keep my 5mm spacers on so they should sit the same as what's it's like now.
Rears should be 6mm more poke than standard but I have 10mm spacers on the rears now. Will see how it goes with the 10mm spacers as this should make about 16mm more poke, if they catch inner arches I'll get an set of 5mm spacers instead.

Tyres will be the standard 225 35 and 255 30 so will get a little bit of stretch

Very nice. Time to get them ceramic coated or waxed before your fitter returns.

Yes I do have some ceramic coat so like you say it's the best time to get it done. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't bother with 255/30/19, unless you enjoy owning buckled wheels.

I had thought of going 265 35 but could run into rubbing issues as my car is also lowered.
I've been running 255 30 for the past 12 months of owning the car and been ok up to yet, luck of the draw I think when it comes to buckling a wheel
 
Managed to get wheels on and take a quick picture.

Need to get her all cleaned up and drive it somewhere to get some proper shots of it.
