That Z looks incredibly low for Eibachs!?! especially the rear! makes me rethink my coilover setup. There are several others on the forum with 20" and Eibach springs with a pretty large tire gap. Anyways, car looks great but to me it looks like the front offsets could be more agressive. Maybe just a bad angle? The rears look great though -

Could we get some more pics on even ground from various angles?

Almost forgot... OP, how do you like your Formula Silver finish? That's what I'm getting with my Volks since FP was able to request it for the particular wheels I'm ordering. From the pictures, I like how it's light and dark depending on lighting conditions. That's definitely the "gunmetal" of 2009.

New pics per your request
 
Here are some new pics I took today after getting her washed. I hope the angles are what you were hoping for. I added my front plate which was custom made for me. What ya think?

Maybe it could have taken a larger size but I was trying to avoid scrubbing the inside of the wheel well. Maybe Digitonium is getting a larger front and can tell me whether or not a 265 front tire will scrub or not? :hello:

Thanks for all the positive comments!

nogoodname 09-08-2009 09:22 PM

it might rub.... 2theextreme has 265's up front but his Z is quite low and it rubs

last i heard, the rub issue is fine now....

Togo 09-08-2009 09:30 PM

Yeah a 265 would be pretty hot, i know dannygt said he has a 275 up front at first with major rubbing and went to 265 and all was good.. he was running +22 up front though

I don't think I'll go beyond 255/35r19 for the front wheels. For the back, it'll be 285/30r19, but I am also toying with the idea of 305/30r19.

I think he rubbed his out :nutswinger:

all it takes is a little trimming of the inner fender-well. I am not a fan of stretched tires, so I think the fronts need a 265. Other than that, looks great :tup:

nogoodname 09-09-2009 11:57 AM

he didnt trim his fender linings... he has to trim it if he wants to lower the Z some more

LiquidZ 09-09-2009 12:23 PM

Looks good. Thanks for the new pictures op.

kdoske 09-09-2009 02:45 PM

so far these are the only aftermarkets I have seen that look as good as stock if not better.
