I am pretty sure you can get the Nismo LM GT4's in 18's for about 1800 or 1900. Did your z come with the 18's or the 17's?

NISMO LMGT4's in Silver or Bronze. Can powder coat if you want Black or any other color.

NISMO LMGT4's $1850

Shipping is usually around $70 in the states.

As far as tires, just make sure your front tires are smaller then your rear's. You loose traction if your tires are over inflated. Alot of drivers underinflate the rear's when at the track for added traction.

the toyo's are 235 and 225 (45) 17 instead of (50) 17's the car will sit a little lower right????? is it gonna make that much of a diffrence??? and how does it look with a lower profile tire on stock rims?????

these are probably the best buy????

I personally don't like kumho tires...yokohama are ok...but they don't have the best traction..

toyo tires are 225/45/17 and 235/45/17...it will sit a little lower, but not by that much
