Tx1021

Sorry no new updates or pictures. Bought a new toy and the Z is kind of sidelined at the moment. Will pics of the new toy suffice?

Thanks! The fronts are 17x9 +35 and the rears are 17x10 +20

Federal 595RS-R's. 255/40's in the rear and 235/40's up front.

No tires yet, everyone is back-ordered on the ones I want so I'm just waiting to see which shop gets them in first.... I haven't ordered spacers yet, so in the pictures they are just mocked up against the studs. You might be able to get away with a 1.25" in the rear and 1.5" up front if you're running coilovers. That would give around 5.1" and 4.9" backspacing respectively.

Definitely keep us updated on this. I'm going to be in need of some quality adapter/spacers here soon and would like to hear how much these are gonna cost.

It's an unconverted Saiga. I think in 7.62x39

So can this now be a post your AR thread..?

Awesome rifle man!! AR's are one of my few other hobbies outside of the Z, glad to see I'm not the only one. You got any plans in the works for yours yet?

Unfortunately it will probably be a little while before I've got tires and flares. But, here they are just mocked up for now...

I ended up going with 17x10 for the rear and 17x9 for the fronts.

Just re-reading this thread and wanted to point out DO NOT GO TO THIS LINK!!! The picture it links too now tried installing viruses on my computer. Just a heads up for any others reading this thread....

Yeah I was thinking about a 2" or 1.5" up front and a 1.5" out back. But, I'm gonna wait till wheels and flares are here to make sure the measurements are perfect. As far as safety with spacers, kind of a counter-intuitive statement right there, I think I'm going to try a solution similar to this THREAD.

I think I may just cave and do 17x9's up front and 17x10's out back with 235/40 and 255/40 respectively. The 17x10's up front with 255's just seem like it is going to be more work than it is worth to make it right.

At most I would want to be running a 255 up front to match the rear. I think it's possible on 17x10's under the flares but I'm waiting for a bit more feedback before I fully commit.
