I was thinking about that as well.

12:56:30 05/25/05

-
ZBlacktt
03:36:06 05/25/05

22:20:40 05/24/05
Ya true, and us 300ZX drivers can't have simple :) BTW

Yea
-
ZBlacktt
14:58:38 05/25/05
How do you explain that?
-
PennStateZ
15:08:16 05/25/05
Depends on what stock size tire you run
-
ZBlacktt
15:21:08 05/25/05
If you run the stock tire size on the 16" wheel,
-
PennStateZ
15:23:51 05/25/05
Correct, but as you see. I don't. (n/m)

OK, I'll play.
-
Guapo
20:39:00 05/24/05
my point was only somewhere between 17 and 18 is ideal
-
maglito
21:15:19 05/24/05
excellent :) (n/m)
-
Guapo
21:20:57 05/24/05
Staying out of this one...arguement wise.

BooZTT (Hawaii)
22:59:47 05/24/05
Agreed, the standard OEM rims are getting bigger.
-
ZBlacktt
03:17:33 05/25/05
I agree w/ Guapo still...
-
PennStateZ
21:31:23 05/24/05
Rememeber, we are keeping names out of it.
-
maglito
22:16:13 05/24/05
I never said anything about keeping names out of it.
-
PennStateZ
23:08:03 05/24/05

Ok, you seem to have tunnel vision

-
ZBlacktt
18:20:00 05/25/05
WOW. (n/m)
-
PennStateZ
22:29:03 05/25/05
17" tires weigh more than 18" tires.
-
scubasteve (rebuilding)
12:14:38 05/25/05
Why can you install 20" wheels on a C5 butnot on a Z32? (n/m)
-
Guapo
12:31:00 05/25/05
Because they were designed to allow for a larger wheel+tire
-
maglito
12:53:06 05/25/05
That rotational inertia is more important than you think...
-
PennStateZ
13:38:13 05/25/05
I understand your point, but I think the diffenence is small
-
maglito
13:47:43 05/25/05
Not really.
-
PennStateZ
13:57:28 05/25/05
Fine
-
maglito
14:06:53 05/25/05
You took it wrong.
-
PennStateZ
14:13:39 05/25/05
Cool, just remember maglito != zblacktt
-
maglito
14:23:09 05/25/05
I know
-
PennStateZ
14:29:06 05/25/05
ok, lets talk
-
ZBlacktt
14:43:13 05/25/05
ok, here's a game. what size wheel does formula 1 use? (n/m)
-
Guapo
15:11:33 05/25/05
No, see that wouldn't count...
-
PennStateZ
15:26:45 05/25/05
...
-
PennStateZ
15:16:45 05/25/05
17" guys can do that :)
-
ZBlacktt
15:39:55 05/25/05
That is the kind of test that needs to be done...
-
PennStateZ
15:50:23 05/25/05
right
-
ZBlacktt
15:55:54 05/25/05
You asked if all those manufacturers "got it wrong"
-
PennStateZ
16:04:08 05/25/05
ok last try
-
ZBlacktt
16:57:47 05/25/05
LOL :)

Really? Look again, because I see that it's not. (n/m)
-
ZBlacktt
15:10:44 05/25/05
This thread is an example.
-
PennStateZ
15:18:36 05/25/05
Really?
-
ZBlacktt
15:23:08 05/25/05
Thanks for proving my point.
-
PennStateZ
15:29:16 05/25/05
likewise
-
ZBlacktt
15:48:06 05/25/05
If price is not a factor for him,
-
PennStateZ
15:51:47 05/25/05
rotational inertia is not a factor to be concerned with.
-
scubasteve (rebuilding)
14:30:25 05/25/05
Rotational inertia would affect acceleration...
-
PennStateZ
15:06:26 05/25/05
you CAN install a 20" wheel on a z32. (n/m)
-
scubasteve (rebuilding)
14:18:19 05/25/05
You could install a 26" wheel...
-
PennStateZ
14:21:07 05/25/05
neither if the same amount of sidewall is used on each
-
scubasteve (rebuilding)
14:39:48 05/25/05
there is only ONE 35 series 17" tire on all of tirerack.
-
maglito
12:41:43 05/25/05
I use 40 series. (n/m)

Guapo
15:13:08 05/25/05
I know
-
maglito
15:40:36 05/25/05
Whoa! not to get off subject, but is that worth $4K? (n/m)
