June 15, 20159 yr Author comment_471997 Yeah I noticed that as well. I'm hoping it's just the raised lettering on the tire. I'm getting an alignment this week and I'll get it checked out Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/49193-my-datsun-280z-rustoration/?&page=42#findComment-471997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 16, 20159 yr comment_472028 Matt, You need to drive with your welding mask on... it would be classic like Norm's rant with a goalie mask on Zcars.com Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/49193-my-datsun-280z-rustoration/?&page=42#findComment-472028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 16, 20159 yr comment_472034 I was trying to ignore the irregularities in the tire and focus on the wheel, but it was difficult. Bring it over, I'll check all four for ya. I got an indicator on a mag base with a flexi-wand.

June 16, 20159 yr comment_472055 Haha! Yeah, a couple thousand! Good luck at the alignment shop and here's to hoping that wobble was just the tire lettering.

June 21, 20159 yr Author comment_472432 Haha! Yeah, a couple thousand! Good luck at the alignment shop and here's to hoping that wobble was just the tire lettering. The wobble ended up being an "out of round" wheel.

June 21, 20159 yr comment_472434 Wow. I would have expected a bent axle or hub mounting plate if anything. A bad wheel? That stinks! Were those new or did you buy them used? Also, I assume they checked all four and only that one corner had an issue?

June 21, 20159 yr Author comment_472436 Yep brand new Konigs. I swapped with the front wheel and it was fine. Oh well, I was thinking of getting new wheels anyway. I would rather it be the wheel than the hub.
