trwebb26 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 They'll be here Wednesday... 16X8 w/ a 10mm offset in "bronze" Total WITH shipping was $605. What a deal. I've got a 78' 280 and I'll be running Modern Motorsports 8" coilovers with upgraded maxima rears & 4x4 vented fronts (even though they don't clear without a spacer). What is the correct tire for that wheel? 245/50/16? Anybody have a recommendation for a good tire that'll run around $100 a piece? I've been surfing tirerack - and it looks like the BF G-Sports may fit the bill. They won't be driven in the snow - and in the rain only when I get caught in some (very rarely). Thanks for the help!

pete280z Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 are both very close to the stock tire height. Search for 16x8 and you should find a thread where it is suggested that 225/50 is the better pick for track day & autocross style handling. I'm not spending big bucks on my first set of tires for these wheels for several reasons. I'll probably buy the BFG g-Force Sport in 225/50. There are fewer options in 245/45 and all of them cost more than the g-Force Sport. I swiped this photo from a 240sx board. It is the 16x8 +10 grids with BFG g-Force Sport 225/50 tires mounted.

jgkurz Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've been very happy with my Bridgestone RE750's. They are a little more than the 100.00/per but well worth it in my opinion. http://tinyurl.com/gskhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zfan Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I run the BFG G-Force sports and love them. I got mine for 80 a pop and will never run Khumo's again. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Z Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Do you have them yet? I would love to see them on the car. I really like the look of the wheels. Nice choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
