A series of setbacks has prevented me putting my set of 16" x 8.5" 300ZXTT wheels on my '92 Q. I finally I sold my '71 Riviera last night, so I will have a report soon on the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s in 255-50x16 (load range 99). It's about darned time -- I'm still running the kinda sad 15-inchers that were on her when I bought her two years ago. (Hanging my head in shame.) Stay tuned!

noooooooooo! i love the boat tail riviera's, how much did you let yours go for? too bad the 455 has less horsepower than the much smaller 274 Q engine, but i bet it was a torque monster.

Just remember to flip and rotate those tires every 90 days or 3,000 miles............heel toe feathering gets noisey fast....when you hear it ----it is tooooooooooooo late to correct even with flipping because you have to wait another 3,000 miles for the reverse wear to flatten the edges.
