Nv_s30 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I was playing with the thought of running 315's on my car for the longest time so I went ahead and went for it I was getting tired of the stretched look and I wasn't about it. The fronts are 17x10.5 and the rears are 17x11.5 I posted this on Facebook groups but thought id post it here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 MEATS! That looks awesome! Holy heck that is a lot of tire. The fit is perfect for your setup. What arms are you using? Look like wheel center line is moved back slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't adjusted the wheel center at all. Edited December 7, 2017 by Nv_s30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeK Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 TTT are adjustable without removal. What flares are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) TTT ones are H-arm, AE are A-arm with toe link. The TTT ones are track width and toe adjustable on car, but there was some talk of binding and stress given how they achieve that. The AE ones similar to the ones made by several on the forum are only toe adjustable in the front instead of in the rear, I think there was discussion saying the front toe-link may be better for load path, but unsure, the rear toe link setup is nice because you don't have that kink like they do with the front toe link. The rear one looks to be non adjustable on car as in you would have to remove the spindle bolt to adjust it. Not really a problem once you have the track width set, but if you have to adjust that your alignment guy will be annoyed with you, my guy told me it was kind of a pain to get the tracking just right because you would have to disassemble the strut from the arm and check every half turn.

northwoodz Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 AWESOME! I want to build a set of wheels like that so bad! I've been looking for a used set of 3pc to bolt bigger lips to but hard to find and lots of $$$. Totally worth it though when you have a Z and your tire size starts with a 3.... Thanks for the inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Those are going to look great! That's a really tight fit - does that tire really clear the flare on full bump? Also, it sounds like you are already on it, but you're probably not going to want that much camber back there. Make sure that the arms that you get will have enough inboard adjustment to allow you to pull the tire inward to get closer to zero camber - don't know about the two that you are looking at, but they are often more focused on increasing track width than reducing camber (most setups have more room to spare in the wheelwell than you are going to ). You're likely going to want to do the adjustment at the a-arm rather than via a camber plate, since adjusting it at the top of the strut will push the tire even farther outboard.

texis30O Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have 315 on my rears and 275 up front. I will be going with the Apex Eng stuff at the beginnig of the year but for now I am on stock stuff except for my coilovers. I am toying with 335s but not sure yet I want to see how track adjustments come out with the new set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to run 275's up front but with the 245's im already rubbing up front. I am also looking at the apex stuff and am just waiting for the fronts to come out so I can order them together. You're running way more power than my sr20 will be putting out for a while so that's fitting Edited December 21, 2017 by Nv_s30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I love what your cooking up there NV with this build. I was wondering how others go with such wide tires on the front. I want to run 255 fronts on my set up but will most likely run 245's with camber plates, coilovers and adj control arms. Nice work!!!

Thank you sir its been a long road to get her where she's at but hopefully she will be on the road this upcoming summer and going to shows with her. I will probably stay with 245's unless I am feeling froggy and will make 275's fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
