Ok. I'm going to get another set of them again. I read the Z2's had better wear characteristics and more tread patch contact. Good enough. For the price and seeing that I won't use them all year long and boosting I'm sure ill get maybe a season max 2.
Tire rack has the enkies at 8 inches wide and inch more than stock and ill do the Z2's
I did love those tires when they really gripped. They were the best tire hands down I ever owned for any of my cars.

I have the speed correction setting in kpro that's set up for 235/45's.

But the 235/45s have very large sidewalls making your overall diameter between the rim and tire bigger than stock, 215/45. The 235/40 is almost the same sidewall size as 215/45, closer than 225/45.

I just got off the phone with the Tire Rack, they recommended the 235/40 as being closest to stock height. Thanks for that heads up. Now next question. I was told that I may need to roll the fenders. For you guys that have this setup did you all need to get your fenders rolled?

I didn't but I am not particularly lol

Depends how low you are. I had to roll my fenders all around to fit 245/40 on a 17x9 +42 and I still rub on bumps and steep driveways. Rub meaning tire to wheel well. And i'm not that low. Low enough I guess.

To a normal person my car looks to be stick ride height. I am dropped maybe an inch and I have no issues.

I've been reading other posts here. I hope radiator comes in soon!
Could I ask any of you that have done wider rims and 235/40 tires to post up pics or link me to them? I'm just about certain that I'll go with that size tire on the 8 inch RPF1's in silver unless I could find a better bang for the buck wheel.

Also would like to upgrade suspension. What is excellent quality to go with. Not looking to slam my car, looking to track it. I have heard BC coilovers. What are you guys running and how do you like them?
I want winter to be done with already!

I have Buddy Club N+s and they have been great.

Thanks. I don't know how much longer the delay with the radiator will be but as soon as it gets in I will post everything up. Hopefully you guys don't brand this post as a fail. Lol
