I tried to dig up an old Dave Coleman article concerning a square setup for his project 240sx. I'll keep looking for it, but he also agreed that it was the way to go and ran 225's all the way around mentioning about how much more natural the car felt. I think they did the same one their project 350z also with good results (using wider tires of course). Man I miss his articles, I wish I saved them and put them in a binder, it would be my bible.

A squared setup is the way to go man. I've been running 255s all around on my s2000 for months now and it just feels a lot better. Everyone thinks it's going to make the car really tail happy but I'd have to disagree. Sure I feel like the rear will run out of grip first but it's not drastic and a decent driver should have plenty of control over the car.

I found the article he wrote concerning his 350z but I'm starting to think what he wrote concerning square setups on his 240sx was in a Technobable article
. Anyway, read, study, bask in the knowledge of Coleman.

If you look around on some of the other tech articles you'll see some of the old 240sx, 300zx and rx7 build articles that Mike Kojima and Dave Coleman did together, definitely good reads!

If anyone liked the Mike Kojima 300zx articles, he's doing an even bigger build up of a track dedicated 300zx:
