I had 285's on the back with no issues at all. Only reason I went back to 275 was BFG was out of them and the Gforce I have were very hard to find.

It was yesterday, but I gave my baby a good solid wash, put tire shine on her, and went to the local hang out. Felt so good, haven't driven her up there for a few months, and she was all nice and clean. Gotta love the pewter

Looked at the pictures from the body shop. I had a deer run into the side of my car at 70.

yea no doubt on that. he burnt through his tires already and they were new mid season. he's buying the 17x9 / 17x11 ZR1 deep dish wheels and throwing some 315 DRs on it.

they will fit on the wheel it is just not suggested you can put a 315 on a 9" wheel and have a huge bulge that is completely unsafe. 275 is what is recommended and anything past that becomes more and more dangerous

looks much better

**Demon_Z28** · 03-14-2011, 11:29 PM

Installed my Moser 9" and upgraded all of the rear sway bar bushings to Poly mounts and replaced both front Tie-Rod ends in the front and realigned the car all in the last week and drove it maybe for a few minutes today to check out how it drives with the new Rear end after I fixed the rear sway bar mounting issue.

Next things in line:
Tick Master
UMI tunnel brace mounted Torque Arm
Brembo Blanks Front Rotors
EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads

**Spikito** · 03-15-2011, 07:00 AM

is it just me or does the moser look narrower?

Car looks great man. If I could swing it I would put on the SS spoiler and hood but LEAVE my Z28 emblems. I like the look of the SS and have ZR1 5-spoke look-a-like wheels so the hood and the spoiler would make it look like one.
