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?

Put a flat piece of cardboard or plastic on the face of the wheel. Make sure the piece reaches under the fender. They use a ruler to measure the space between the cardboard and the fender edge. That is the spacer required to make the wheel flush.

Get a ruler and a plumb bob. Use the plumb bob at the point where you want the tire to be and then measure it with a ruler. That's what I did. Or you can eyeball it with the ruler

It measures close to half an inch. I'm going to go with 20mm.

Anyone know how many foot pounds of torque for the lug nuts?

Aftermarket wheels with NO drop
 
Got the spacers installed. Did rear only for now. Like the quality of the spacers. Now thinking about the front.

Anyone with 19s with a bigger lip on them at stock height? For some reason a lot of the photos aren’t available anymore.
