[88_300ZX]

i want to upgrade my wheels and tires on my N/Ai have stock wheels right now and im looking for something lighter and more durable(not to say that the factory ones arent)and what is some good tires to wrap those in?dont really want low pros

[evildky]

well the good news is your 88 uses the 5x4.5 bot sircle which makes it a lot easier, are you saying you like the stock size? which I believe are a15x6.5 in either a +20 or +30, I'm sure az can clear up that last 10 mm, as for tires what is the intended purpose? if you into drags vs, autocross vs snow driving, the tire choices will vary

[88_300ZX]

well as far as i know the tires are stock sizei do like the stock sizeand i will mainly use it for some street racin and things of that likeso drag tires arent needed and it doesnt snow here in tucson so that clears that up haha

Street racing is stupid and immature. I hope you end up a fiery ball of death in a street race.

And you have an NA. I seriously doubt you're going to be winning any races with it anyway.

quit racing Geo Metros and try racing real cars.

SIR does test and tune days. Take it to the track. Cheaper than getting arrested for street racing and having your car impounded and paying for a street racing ticket.

street racing is dumb, if you want to drive fast legal, sanctioned drag racing is actually pretty cheap, also autocross is inexpensive way to really learn to drive

and i still would like to get some wheels and tires that work good as a daily driver something that looks nice yet is good qualityI have heard that Centerline has some good stuff but i cant really find and secs of it except sizeif im goin to change i want lighter ones

and tires i want something that will grip the road and feel good to ride on

Lighter wheels are generally race only applications. Why? Because hitting a pot hole with light weight wheels is liable to crack or bend them.

How much money you got to spend? Expect to spend at least $400 per wheel for lightweight wheels that fit properly.

Stock size is 15x6.5 +20mm.

[88_300ZX]

ok then never mind the light weight stuffif it cracks and bends on normal everyday driving i dont want to spend **** tons of moneyif this was just a drag car then yeah but its my everyday car

and i dont really have a whole lot of money

im saving to turbo

you can damage heavy weight stockers on potholes, I have a collection of busted wheels, a stock Z32 wheel, a stock swastica as well as a couple of caddy wheels ( compliments of my father)

the more sidewall you have the less likely you are to tweak a wheel on a pothole but it vcan still happen, anyhow, the 17x8 and 17x9 cobra style 5 spokes seem popular on the z31 and pretty cheap and available in the ocrrect offset I believe

cool. where can i get pick those up at?just my local dealer?or is there an online vendor thats got some good deals?

Are you even trying? I know you're young, but do you have to prove it?

[88_300ZX]

yeah im youngand well i dont exactly have all the time in the world to look around for partswish i didif i did i wouldnt be asking

[evildky]

I think az's point is that if you were to google z31 17x9, z31 wheels or something similar you'd get a ton of hits, and if you go to tirerack.com or tires.com you can shop for direct fit wheels and takes no more time than soliciting advice on a forum

cool man thank you
