First off your wheels look great Second , this threads timing is great, I just recieved my wheel adapters today and wanted to get some tires this weekend. deja , I didnt see that you posted your wheels width? they 7 inches? I believe 225's are about the widest tire for a 7" rim ( I may be wrong tho) I have 17x7 40mm Offset and bought 38mm (1.5") spacers , I'm a little concerned that the wheel is out to far , and the tire will hit the fender, I guess I'll find out when I get the tires mounted. What size spacers did you get? I was looking at these tires.... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?c=1&cf=false&sw=false&cs=225&pc=38447&rd=17&ar=45&tc=NITHZ6 & http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?cf=false&sw=false&cs=225&pc=28751&rd=17&ar=45 I was thinking of getting 50's but the selection is small, 55's I think would have clearance issues especially up front being almost 27" diameter .

Nice work

That is awsome ......... more videos!

I just ordered some adapters from here: http://www.ezaccessory.com/

Sounds like you'll get to it before me, let us know your results, I think it will work fine, I'll cross my fingers for ya

Thats my plan ( if the type II is the same as a 95 LT1 pump ) .........when I get to that point, sorta on hold while I work on my coilovers.

Robert thats a nice clean looking 280 I really like it, Stealth fighter-ish Do you have coilovers installed?

Thanks good info , I have 17x7 rims with 40mm+ offset , so I'm looking at 1.5" spacers , Now it seems that 225/45/17 are fairly popular as far as I can tell, they are approx 25" in diameter, a 225/50/17 is aprox 26", just .5" more sidewall on radius, I just thought it would fill the wheel well and could lower the car .5" to tuck the wheel closer to the top of the wheel well and still have the same ground clearance I installed my front coilovers and it looks like I need to section them to get the correct bump travel , I thought I'd get my spacers and tires mounted to see what I have before I start cutting struts............ my head hurts:willy_nil

Is anyone with a 240-260-280 running 225/50/17's on 17x7 rims?

Thanks all HybidZ = awsome Ross/Modern Motorsports = awsome

I hate to ask , but here goes. I recieved my coilover kit from Modern motorsports today, nice stuff. But I forgot to ask for the instructions:bonk: I emailed Ross about my order but got a reply that noone would be availabe till the 24th , which is no big deal, they probably are on vacation or such. Thing is that I have the whole weekend free and wanted to try and install them. If someone had a set of thier MM coilover instructions for a 280Z, they could email me ( zob@suscom.net ) I would be in thier debt

I have been wanting to look into this also, I was told that the LT1 fuel rails for the corvette exited on the right side instead of the left as on the F-bodies, I just havent done any research on it yet.

I like it, I was planning on a nice bright orange myself, but that looks good also, (paint is so far down on the list I don't even know why I think about itnow ) Someone on the forum has a metalic orange Z, I looks great.

Thanks for the great Info Fastzcars, I modified my rack, and I think I have clearance I can live with now, with the stock pulley. Now I'm trying to find a inner tie rod that will work, the threads on the subaru rack are M16-1.5 , Moog has the EV162 that would have been perfect but its M16-1 , I found this site http://www.valleycruisersnb.com/BallJts.htm, great info, but nothing that will work, Does anyone have any specs on other manufactures Inner tie rods? To find parts everyone wants a make and year , but have no specs like thread size, makes finding stuff damn near impossible. Mark said he got his u-joint from Borgenson , I will have to call them to see what they have available, I't looks to me that its 11/16 dia 36 spline shaft. the Plumbing is next on the list...............
