new tires for my 17's

[1 tuff z]

i just got new tires for my 73 240. prior i wuz running yokohama a520 215/40/17, now i have stuffed under the [stock] fenders yoko avs intermediate 235/40/17's!. they still have decent clearance really fill the fender wells. i have coilovers so backspacing isn't a problem.

now to put them thru the paces to see how they hook up!

hi 1 tuff z,

i'm using 235/45/17 on my 240z as well (you are using 235/40/17)

there are photos of the wheels that i'm using in my photo gallery.

i had to roll the rear guards so that the lip was "square", but the width of the body remains unchanged, the car is not "flared". did you have that problem to?? now even when i fully lower the car (using height adjustable platforms) the car doesn't rub at all (and this is when you can't even see any tyre, ie the rim is really tucked under the guards)

as i bought the wheels from a friend that already had them on his zed, i don't know the offset of them. what offset are you using???
