I just ordered whitewalls. They only had them in 175 75 13. Hope that will look ok.

I want to go minimum 11.5 rear, not a lot of offset choices out there without going custom.

I ran 285/35/19’s on 19x10+38 without any rubbing...clearance is tight (about a pinky finger) at closest points.
That wheel has 7” of backspacing.
Ran +38 19x12’s out back with 8” backspacing...a bit much/as I had to replace oem traction arm bolt with thinner head bolt & washer.
Mine had only -1.0* camber all over max...you can definitely go more aggressive with offsets if you elect to increase negative camber.
Also I recommend to setup your suspension first & would make a lot easier to measure up for wheel specs :ugh2:

With the taper on the front fenders; they may appear to poke because of visual tread; but looking from the rear...things even up.
I always spoke with Jason/as I’d definitely do suspension first & then you can play around with wheel spacers to determine the outward look you desire & then measure inside from lock to lock with full weight on car...:ugh2:

For some reason, socal is notorious for steep angle driveways, everywhere. Even pulling out of my garage in my complex, Ill need to pull out a little, backup, turn more, then drive off, otherwise i get stuck....on the rain channel..even speedbumps in parking lots are like mini mountains. :shakes head:

Quick question

I've been scouring through the forums and so far it seems like a greenlight, but, I'm currently running 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the back on my base 18" wheels, and planning on lowering on ARK GT-S springs and running 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back until I buy new wheels down the road. Will it fit?

Thanks in advance!

Yes you'll be fine. I ran almost the same setup, but 25mm all the way around.
looked good!

Great information. It looks like the fronts are going to tight but should work. The rears with a +22 could be an issue.
Suspension upgrades are in the works right now. Wheel tire upgrade is down the line a little bit.

I spoke with the owner of the shop my car is at last night. When he gets the suspension set up he's going to take measurements and let me know what offsets I'll need.

Sounds like you live in the same complex ad me. :rofl2: I cringe everytime I go over speed bumps no matter how slow I go and how careful I am. And then with the impatient drivers, when you slow down going over a dip, they'll get right on your *** and throw up their arms all pissed off because you're slowing them down. That makes me drive even slower. :driving:

It looks like a damn DONK! Do a search for them if you don't know what they are.

So, does that apply to all sports cars with 20's or just the z? :rolleyes:

Just the Z on 20's. The proportions are all out of what with 20's. Just my .02.

I'd say just cars that aren't lowered enough... Yours, for example, has 20s but still has fender gap due to the modest lowering and low profile tires.
