From Stretched to Wide tires

[Toby22]

Posted this in a couple of forums but forgot to post here :cry:

went from slammed with 235 tires stretched to mild drop 305 fatty tires. Still working on finding a way to go as low as before and pushing the wheels out more (anyone here pulled there fenders with phonebook/newspaper?).

Before


After
Still a work in progress

camber is your friend to make those tires tuck. You would need to roll the shit outta the fenders to get enough clearance. Might have to pull them

Yup, definitely will need to add camber and do a fender pull. I really liked your old setup, but looking forward to how your new one turns out.

i actually dont want to run too much camber, im past -3 already. Loses the purpose of having wide tires imo. Im gonna try to pull my fenders and see where that takes me

btw candlestick i love your G, im not a fan of Gsedans but yours is clean. I miss my nismo LMGT4s

That's cool man. Can't say I like it more then before, but it's still nice! Can't wait to see more of it, some side shots etc. :=]

Toby,
From one 350Z owner to another....
The thought of using newspapers and phone books makes me sad. Do it right and get them pulled by a professional. The body lines on a 350Z makes it hard to properly pull it off and even then, they still look a little off.

My advice....
If you want to keep the look then you have to camber. Even if you could fit that much tire, as low as you are, they are useless anyways. At the end your only option is to raise the car back up to make that much tire work like you want it to work.

I vote you just camber or go with a better option of tires.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i actually got the idea from atx350. I saw in one of his post that he pulled his fenders using the phonebook trick and his car looks badass. I think not caring is what got my z to where it was, im gonna do it again and hope for the best ray:
