The handling is amazing! It rained pretty good today and they did so much better then my old kuhmo's did.lol My alignment is -1 for the the front and -1.5 for the rear. I went up a few steep driveways and so far no rubbing.

You'll be ok with that setup. It's amazing what some grip these will put out with the right setup. I also have Khumo no-seasons for my stock rims and this setup is so good. I would regularly go through turns at 85+ with my 285's. Your tires are a great choice BTW,?any other plans for the future, I.E. body kit etc.

The only future plans I have right now are 6k headlights to match my side markers, parking lights, and the fogs. Here soon I'm going to get a new shifter **** and probably a RP Short Shifter.

Nice upgrades, I don't have HID's myself and I am hoping that my fog's in my bumper will overcome that. GLW the Forgestar's. I see your a military guy, do you do? I was in the Navy and Army.

If you read my signature you'll find out the Rx8 is for sale.

That means I am also getting rid of the Forgestar's.

Ouch.....and for a 370Z? Mind shooting me a pm with the price you're wanting on your wheels? I just bought new tires for the stock wheels so not sure I can afford em at the moment but just curious.

I hate seeing the car go...I'm still attached to it!

I think the 370Z is a great platform. Not as nible as the Rx8 but defininate potential to be a track monster with the right mods.

I ordered a used one from Carmax and it should get here any day now. It will be in black. I would keep the forgestar's but they just look plain ugly with the 370Z so I plan on either the:

Volk CE28's or the Weds SA-55M's in 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +15

Over those 2 wheel choices, go for the WEDS. I personally think they look MUCH better!

Tell them Chris with the Rx8...uh ...I mean the black 370z sent you and they will take care of you. Speak to Carlos or Orlando.
