Eibach Pro? 0.9"F and 0.8"R right? I never really had an interest, but I'll think about it for next year. Plus, I don't want to increase chances of my exhaust scraping. That and not requiring additional work (components) would be nice as well. The rear wheel really lines up with the fender edge!

I was never really a fan of lowering stuff. Plus, I'm a bit fatigued from the hassles of getting the tires, spacers, and wheels installed the first place. TPMS issues aside... bleh. I can also feel a tiny bit of balance issues on the freeway. :-/

Thx... sleepy time. My friend took plenty of pictures, so I'll update this thread (and photo album) later this week :)

I agree, the wheels look great, but the gap is bad, the lower profile tires isn't helping you any either. I'm not a big fan of aggressive drop, usually only go with about 1" on all my cars. I run Eibachs on my Mini and on the Z. Here is a short review when I first installed them:

You can always switch them back to stock if you don't like the ride.

A 285/35 in the rear will help not scrape the rear canisters. It's 22.5 mm taller overall compared to the 295/30. A 305/30 would help too, but it's only about a 6mm difference.

Those turned out perfectly IMO. The fitment looks spot on, but as the others mentioned I would HIGHLY recommend a set of Eibachs to eliminate the wheel gap. I think you would be much happier with the fitment and look with the wheel gap gone. As for the vibration, that should not be happening. We have installed countless sets of wheel spacers and a vibration is not something that should have happened. I would check 1 of 2 things. 1st make sure the hubcentric rings were installed with the wheels. Otherwise there may be something off with the spacer install. Nonetheless, the wheels look amazing :)

I def. understand what you mean with scraping, when I was younger, I bottomed out my RSX but I had a very low drop it was like 2 inches. When I get my Volk's I'll prob. go with the Eibach kit.

LOL... okay. Man I was hoping I didn't need to drop my car like the 350Z. I'll look into getting a set of Eibach Pro set sometime next year.

As for tires, I may try to get 255/40 and 285/35... just a tad worried about the rear fenders.

The hub centric rings were initially installed on the wrong wheels. I told the installer two of each for the front wheels only, so he moved them over and tapped them in. Do you think the rings were in too deep?

We also just got some TEIN S-Tech's in as well. Let us know when you are ready, and Ryan can get a set out. :)

The hub rings sometimes need some persuasion to install, but as long as he installed one per hub, you should be fine.

I'll let you know about TEIN next year.

One per hub? I got 4 rings... thought I had to put 2 in each front wheel because of the spacers. Ruh oh... :confused: He tapped it in with a mallet, so I wonder if it's too deep or is normal. I'm going to have them retorque the wheels tomorrow. It's going to be ugly weather-wise later this week.

:icon17: I think we found the issue ;)

1 Per hub. Having 2 each in the front is what is causing your vibration. You need to fix that :) If you need new rings give me a call.

Oh crap... :ughdance:

Just to double-check, so even the rear wheels need the ring as well? This is how my installer had the first place, but I thought he got it wrong. Also, it has to go all the way inside?

The hub ring always goes on the hub. Some spacers are hubcentric and don't need the hub ring. It should be pretty clear. Either it fits or it doesn't. Call me or Ryan if w can clarify further.

POST #1 Revised with higher quality photos!

Ah okay I misunderstood the instructions since I never dealt with hub rings. I thought it was convenient to insert the rings into the wheel before mounting it.

I'll try to make an "emergency" appointment with my dealer tomorrow to get this fixed. [sigh]

Thanks again guys... beautiful aggressive wheels.

Let us know how it turns out. That nasty vibration should go away once this is fixed ;)

BTW new pictures on 1st post are amazing. Really shows off how nice the wheels are :)

WOW! Those pics are smokin'!

Just like my "snow pic" in another thread, the silver Z looks spectacular in a gray setting. And those wheels.....:yum:
