Can't decide on which wheel. (Another wheel thread)

    I prefer to run square setups with asymmetrical treads so you can cross rotate the tires to maximize tread life. I will tell you V-tread tires tend to feather/cup very badly on the rears and require you dismount and flip the tires over on the wheels.

    I am with 88sinZ as in saving up for better fitting wheels with lower offsets to get the mean look.

    On my Z I ran 18x9.5 +12 front and rear with 10mm spacer up front to get the flush look without the need to roll the fenders and used 275/35R18 tires to have the meaty tire look that works so well with the Z31.

    Looks really good. I don't think those tires will do you any good when you start making any kind of power. Even my 275/40/17R Nitto 555 Drag Radials will spin through 3rd if I brake boost and dont have them heated up well. I can't imagine a regular street tire out back.
