Looking great.

I suppose these are the rear tires but what size are the fronts?

Btw, any news about the rims you ordered a few month ago?

Grtzzzz

yes sir. the front ones are: 235/30/20"

the rims are on the way after fighting 5 months with RENNEN and his dealer.

they should arrive on 30th in customs.

hope it will turn out fine.

I'm glad to hear it's going to be oké! But five month almost seems like an eternity and you'll just have them in time for your winter setup...

But all problems aside, 20 inch is the way to go... just anxious to see the result.

thank you...

yes, it was a nightmare. i expected them to be ready the beginning of september so i can enjoy my ride in fall with the 20" but unfortunately it took that long.

i do not drive my Z in winter, only if it is dry so i will mount them on the car as soon as they arrive.

cheers mate

265 seems small for 20s, maybe 275 or 285

It must be a european thing to like the stretched look on the wheels.... We ppl in America just want to go as wide as we can on the tires.... haha!

Nice setup there and lets see pics SOON!!

Well, from my experience the wider the tire the more hydroplaining on water puddles and more tire noise in the cabbin. But 265-275 isnt a big difference.

true... so in my opinion 265 is just perfect. also the chance that it will rub is lower. i think the offset is pretty aggressive (if i am not totally confused) 25.

Whenever you mount the tires, give us a review. Never tried Hankook, always had Bridgestone and Continental on my cars and Toyo for track days. Rims got there?

i will, promissed. i also do not have any experience with hankook eighter.

always had DUNLOP, MICHELIN, CONTINENTAL or KUMHO!

so i am pretty curious how they will behave.

rims will arrive december 1 (i hope) or 2nd latest. ordered from the USA.

i am so excited!

That sounds like a really aggressive offset. The offset for the rear is usually in the high 30s (from the ACS site). I'd like to see how that looks. Good stuff!!

front : 8,5 x 20 will fit without any problem, 9 x 20 on the other hand I'm not 100% sure but it might because the tire will be stretched aswell.

rear : 10 x 20 will be perfect if you do a little modification of the plastic on the inside of the fender.

i think the specs are:

front 8,5J

rear 9,5J

but i am not sure. i also can be 8J and 9J.

RENNEN argued that they never built rims for "such a car", i think they mean a Z4 so they did not know that 10J in the rear is possible!

they just had to google it. there are hundreds of threads...

but maybe it is better like it is. we will see...
