But a 911 which doesn't have that dissimilar body style than the z looks fine with 21's in the rear and 20's in the front?

911 GT3, GT2, and GT3 RS look good. Our cars look like DONKS on 20's if you don't lower them way down and you don't want to do that. It's the body of the car to ground clearance that makes ours look like DONKS if not done properly. It's not the fender to tire clearance that is a concern. You would look better on 19's and the car lowered just a smidgen.

That's my problem. I can't lower it on 19's, even a smidgen, especially with 35f/30r. With 20's I gain 3/4" in ride height from tires and then I can lower it 3/4" to 1" with suspension and get it back to stock or a smidgen lower than stock ride height. If I stayed at stock ride height with 35f/30r 19's the fender to tire clearance would be huge and really look goofy. Just my opinion. One trade off for another. I can't have the best of both worlds. There are a lot more wheel and tire combos available in 19's, I would much rather be on them. 20's just work better in my situation.

You would be better off going with Rusty's setup.

Told you it was dumped. Looks good though.

My car doesn't sit as high as it might appear. If I remember right, it measured 26-1/2" from the ground to top of fender arch. Maybe some other's can measure theirs, I'm curious how much higher mine actually sat.

My rears measure at appx 27.5" with a 20x11 & 305/30/20

I was thinking the same thing. 20s look good on the Z.

Here is a car setup properly on 20's. The problem is, most folks won't take the time and spend the money.

That thing is dumped on 20's. Gonna need better coilovers than KWV3's to match this.

Here are his specs.
Fronts: 20x9.5 et12
Rears: 20x11 et -1
