some folks like da poked look, u might get use to it too..

ET32 for front is if ur ride is stock. the shorter sidewalls on ur 20's pronounce the wheel gap too..

ive found budget wheels's offsets are pretty inaccurate.. ur wheel might say ET20, it could be as low as ET10-12.. especially if ure saying the rear looks perfect lowered at ET27.. ET27 would be very conservative for a lowered ride with 10.5".
Yes I have swifts already installed but I have not drive my car yet. There is too.much rock and snow outside at the moment so I will get her out only april 1st. I will drive it and get it aligned but is it a good solution like Josh said to get the load on the suspensions before tightening everything up? How im I supposed to tight thoses bolts with the wheel in place ?

Tks for your tips kenchan Really appreciated.

yah, dont give ur hopes up yet. new springs take a little driving to set in. usually when i swap springs i drive it for about 2 weeks (few hundred miles) before going in for an alignment unless it's so off making it uncomfortable to drive. for those occasions i take my car in twice.

when u do suspension installs it is always a good idea to load the arms before you tighten the fasteners. what i do is load up the arm using a hydraulic jack under the knuckle (front)/spring carrier cup (rear), and raise it enough the suspension has preload. then tighten all fasteners to spec.

but it usually doesnt make much of a difference as far as ride height after install unless you completely botched the install somehow.

take a pict and post.

Ok Tks Yeah I'm an aircraft mecanic so I don't know a lot about cars mecanics but I followed the maintenance manual for the torques of the Z... but I know much more about aircrafts.

I have read a lot before buying and about Dallaz blue 370z, want to do the same setup but instead of vossen cv3r use Stance sc5,

[Official] 370z wheel fitment guide (pics/specs) only

same dimensions, 20x9 20x10.5, same offsets +20 front but got +27 in rear instead of +15 so wanna put a 10mm spacer, same drop but with swifts insteads of coilovers, 1 to 1.2in drop. Stock camber

Tell me if i'm wrong but I should have something like him? But I don't have driven the car yet and not aligned.

Tks Kenchan


Pictures incomming...
