Thanks for looking!
 
Looks good! I saw it on My350Z. I love the DB Zs...my brother wanted one, but they are kind of hard to find and he ended up settling for a PPW Z.
 
Thanks fellas. :)





I've been envious of the great work seen here at Autopia over the winter and read a lot of different threads to get ideas and motivation.

You going to do anything to the Z or leave it stock?

Hey, I've got a K&N drop-in! :chuckle:





I'm planning on picking up either a set of 18" LMGT4s or Rota P45Rs. But, I'm having trouble finding a vendor who stocks KDW2s in 275/40/18.



Also, I've been lazy about picking up a Veilside V1 lip and getting the front bumper re-sprayed.



Other than that, :nixweiss

I bought the car with the full intention of keeping her for a long while. After almost 4 years of ownership, I think I'm coming around.

I couldn't find KDW2s in that size...I ended up with the Toyo T1Rs but I love them and would recommend them. Hit up Brinster34 on Ebay if you decide to go with the LMGT4s, you should get a nice deal on them.



Here are my Toyos on Nismo rims.

try tirerack.. might be worth buying em seperately for cheaper.



edit.. just looked they don't make them in that size, only the KD. if you go down to a 17'' rim in that size you'd have a much larger selection. every tire that size is about 250$.. a 275/40/17 eagle f1 gs-d3 only runs $209 and performs alot nicer

Thanks for the comparison. I was looking into those tires as well since I've noticed them on a few other cars. I only want to stay away from the Bridgestone Potenza line.

The BFG website lists the 275/40/18 size. They're just hard to find through vendors. I'm thinking I'll call BFG up to find out who has them in stock or just try to special order them.



I think these tires are worth the effort to find. :D

I'm on my second set of BFGs, the first being G-Force Sports and currently KDW2s, and they're both awesome performers.



Edit: Sorry, I guess you're right that these are only offered in the directional version of the KDWs.



Thanks again for the help and comments!
