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!
