Anymore pics? Offsets? Thanks.

:rolleyes:

For someone who has been on this forum for over a year you have alot to learn about 1) how to talk to people on the forum and 2) how to mod a car

As it has been shown several times in this thread if you have the right wheel and tire offset and tire ratio you do not need to use suspension mods to reduce the wheel gap

I would be more than willing to bet he is running something which is stretched given his wheel sizes. By simply running a larger profile tire like a 265-35-19 front and a 305-35-19 he can more than makeup this difference.

How did you not get that from my post? Do I need to explain it even more?

Check out my journal for pics, link is in my sig.

Front: 19x9.5 +22 with an 8mm spacer to clear the brakes.
Rear: 19x10.5 +12

Tires are stock sport tires.

:tiphat:

I should also mention that the wheels are Varrstoen ES 2.2.2, got them from ERZ Performance.

Here's a before and after pic if my z lowered on h&rs.

offset?

20x9.5 +12 20x11+11

Nice wheels on your Z. What are your wheels specs and offsets?

OEM suspension.
F: 19x9.5 245/40/19
R: 19x11 285/35/19

Larger tires coming up upon replacement. :tup:

What wheels are these and what are the specs? Looks exactly what I'm looking for.

Vossen CV3

20x9 front with 245s and 20x10.5 with 285s

:iagree: lol

I've read all these posts and still not sure what to do. 19" or 20" I found a set of 19" wheels that are only 9.5" wide on 19" and keep reading that everyone goes at least 10.5 in th rear. Should I go 20"?? I'm not lowered but I'll do it if I need to. I just don't want to have to roll fenders or get myself into a situation that paints me against the wall and regret my choice. I have no idea what offset to use and want this to sit perfectly from the get go.

Any help would be appreciated since I still don't know if 20's are the right choice based on ride quality and terrible roads. This is my second car but I still want to make the right choice because the 20's do look nice but 19'swith a drop also look good.

Thanks guys.

Do both. I did :happydance:

night and day difference when lowered looks amazing:ugh2:

I see you PM'd me this same question

I have quoted my post within this thread as my suggestion. I personally would never go 20's on a Z and the sizing I suggested is ideal for this car or a Z33 in my opinion

Air setup is your friend

Thanks. They look sick.

any chance there is a larger pic of kenchans car out there? looks perfect in thumbnail but im not an ant.

Ken's car is photo shopped.

:ugh2:

Old thread I know. But just so excited for my new wheels. 20's no drop.

Nice color combo, how wide are those 20's? The rear looks too narrow, I think a 30mm rear spacer would help. IMHO any aftermarket rim needs a drop, it looks like a pick-up truck without one.

Depends on the wheel choice. If the spokes go to the edge of the wheel, then 20s look huge. If the spoke ends inside the wheel, then they look smaller.

Mine on 20's, no drop.

Sweet that's the best looking z I have seen with no drop:yum: What rims are those?

Thank you.

Vossen CV2. No longer made.

That's a great looking Z Cooltoy. Those wheels are gorgeous.

20x10.5 +25 in rear
20x8.5 +35 in front

Houston roads are horrible, so no drop.

wat width tires on da rear? those look conservative for a 10.5 ET25. looks more like 10" ET25. or even 10" ET30. u can run another 10mm spacer on the rear and wider tires.

i run nismo wheels with RE11's.. i think they were like ET23 or something and 10.5 width, but are more aggressive and fills the wells nicely for stock height.

This was my car pre and post drop. I added Swift's.

I'd love to lower mine a touch, but swifts are too much of a drop for my driveway. I could only be able to go 0.5 of an inch, no more. Possibly Nismo springs could give that, but there is no widely documented proof of that.

275/30/20. I was going to go for 295 rear but was scared it would fit.

I am running 285. Will most likely go wider next time.

19x10/12's 285/35,345/30's no drop.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2e9fee5c76.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9939245839.jpg

i read that the koni yellows drop the height just a hair vs stock. might want to read into it. should be a nice setup (given it doesnt leak.. :ugh: dey are notorious for leaks)

should be fine. does ur wheels have voids next to the lug bores on the inside disc? If so, u can run 10mm bolt-on spacers for a quick finish. actually if u did wider tires AND the spacers it will look very nice.

u dont want to push out narrow wheels/tire setup too flush at stock height. looks weird from the rear. i lol at Z's i see driving around with 20-25mm spacers on da rear running stock non-nismo wheels/tires and height. :ugh2:

Thank Ken. I will do some reading.

About to order some bolt on spacers from Z1. What size should I get? I don't want them to stick out and I don't want them too flush. Just a little in from the fender. 20mm or 25mm? Is there a easy way to measure?
