What's the difference in this....when it comes to tires i'm lost.....i'm looking on Ebay to buy the ZO6 replica's 18x9.5 and they come with Nexoon tires which i personally have never heard of....they are 265/35/18 but I really want the AFS ZO6 replicas which come with kuhmo's 275/35/18 but on ebay for wheel/tire combo they are 1,195 and on AFS website for the kuhmo package they are 1,995 big diff.



Some help on which one's to get if there even is a difference would be of help.

 

I was able to pick up my ASF wheels from a member on this site. Got the ASF wheels with almost new Kuhmo P275/35/18's for $850.00, the Kuhmo tire is a better tire and the P275's look much wider on the car, not to mention the handling is also better.

Here are what mine look like, I'm sure you can find some as well you just have to search until you find the right opportunity:

hey man your car is the one that I printed off to show my wife to try to talk her into letting me buy these ZO6's I love it ......just wondering you said your car has eibach's on it....does it already have them in the rear shot of it on that page....i'm wondering if i'm gonna have to lower my car or not....b/c i have RS GFX on it so i dont' want it to be to low


btw you have chrome on there not polished right?

 

Those are polished, I just happen to like polished because they shine almost white and I prefer the shine of raw metal to the mirror like shine of chrome. They also last forever and chrome eventually starts to peel, plus I like the racy, sports car look of polished wheels on sports cars and prefer the chrome look on Caddy’s and other cars like that but that’s just my personal opinion.

All the pics from page three forward shows the car lowered. The first two pages show the car with the stock suspension.

I went with a 1.3" drop both front and back. With that drop you should still be able to clear speed bumps if you go slow and hit them at an angle. Also, with a 1.3" drop you can fill the car with people and not worry about bottoming out of rubbing. 1 - 1.5" drop doesn’t require you to change shocks, I have new shocks but they are the same specs as the original. But I have to say, the car looks much better in person, it has a stance that everyone seems to like and the handling is phenomenal, highly recommend these wheels and springs.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, hope this helps, and if you need anything else please let me know.

 

oh yeah i hadn't looked through your whole pages of work.....there's a big difference in the gap b/t the fender well...looks alot better


so those are polished....see i think from the pics they look chromed.....are they clear coated or what b/c i wouldn't mind getting them but if you have to polish them every week like heck to keep them that shiny if their not clear coated then that's too much work b/c as of now mine's a daily driver and where i live there's alot of salt for about 3 mo. out of the year

 

To answer the first part of your question, a "265" (265mm = 10.43") is in theory a narrower tire than a "275" (275mm = 10.83"). The "265" is the width of the tires at the fattest point (= "section width").

The "265" will also be slightly smaller in diameter than the stock tires, and smaller in diameter than the "275" tires.

Stock 4th Gen tires: 25.65"
275/35-18: 25.58"
265/35-18: 25.30"

All of that is "theoretical".... actual tire dimension will vary a bit, depending on the manufacturer.

A search on "Nexoon" shows up nothing.... sounds like another low $$$ Korean tire manufacturer. There is a "Nexon" tire, and that appears to be a tire sold by "Super Buy Tires", and they have no information at all about it on their website.... maybe its a "house" brand:

Yeah, then I would go with the chrome, see I live in Florida where all I have to do is wash the car once a week and the rims stay shiny all year. These are not clear-coated but if you keep them clean they don't need much polishing at all. I’ve had them for a year and they looks just as shiny today as when I first got them but in your weather conditions chrome is probably the better choice.

 

thanks alot that now makes more since....and i think i just mistaken your right it is Nexon tire....but i think I want the 275/35/18's probably would look better anyways
