Not bad, maintained the same weight with going taller and wider. They look good too! What offsets are those and what tire sizes? I'm assuming 245/40 and 265/40 S-03s?

Aron,

Hey that's how my car used to look, only your car is "purtier" LOL

I put all the cool decals on my old Comps, since they were track wheels/tires at the time.

Fritz Flynn now owns my old Comps with Hoosiers LOL

Probaby 42 mm offset for both fr and rr sizes. Not sure what tires Aron's running though.

I went with yoko avs es100 as they are $100 less a piece. 255/40/17 and 235/45/17

42mm front and rear. You cant really tell in the pic but the front spokes are flush with the edge of the rim and the rear spokes arch outward like the center has been pushed in.

I wanted to duplicate the look of the volks in that 350z add.

http://www.streetsports.com/Tune/350...ble%20Sets.htm

The vendor said the yokos didn't come in the wider width. Which is ok as I have a little more tire showing in the back end than I would like.

Now the question is do I leave my mazdaspeed hood carbon fiber to match the wheels or do I paint it.

Ya I dont like the truck caps...I wish they had a flatter cap but the center nut pokes out past the wheel hub so I guess they need the room.

Thanks for the compliments. I waited until the revolution to make a wheel decision as I wanted to see on the wheels on everyones cars. It was these or the volks.

is it possible to get 17x9.5 front and rear with, say, a 47mm offset? Wheels look great as does the car

ttpowered, the SSR Comps only come in 42 mm offset for 8.5 and 9.5 x 17 for FD Rx7. The other option is to go 9.5 x 18 with 50-mm offset all around with 265/35-18s. These will definitley clear the fender lips.

Aron,

Have you done your suspension mods yet? The car looks like it's still stock ride height?
