Since having performed my Mods and only run High-Test my front wheels seem to chirp more often from the stop. Maybe I have a heavy foot, but even when I do not "get-it-on" from the stop I have heard and felt the tires slip.

Anyone else have this issue?

Now, remember this is the CVT version and it used not to perform like this. What a WONDERFUL thing to complain about. LOL...

270 is a lot of power for the front wheels to handle and the stock tires suck.

Yes, that makes sense. I am looking at the 350Z wheels but am still confused about what ones to get.

anyone want to school me on what to get? Do you get the front wheels from the Z all around or is the rear going to be different????

You can get whatever you want - biggest problem is that the car is seated too high and the stock rubber blows. If you want to fix the problem without droping a lot on wheels just get new tires.

You can get some used g wheels off ebay/cl, but if its the factory rubber, its somewhat the same issue i believe.

You can get a decent set of wheels from stillen thru the konig deal, or find other deals... you shouldnt have a problem putting together a 18" set for $900... and you can sell your stockers to bring the cost back....

end result is spending what it would cost you to buy 4 new tires, you can pretty much swap to get new wheels and tires!
