Quick Question about brake clearance

kenchan

btw, if you're running stock height, no need to go 235/35, just get 245/35/20's.

OK. That's fair, the sidewall on 245 on +32 will be flush with the outside of the fender.

if so, you should go all the way and lower your ride. then you will have better wheel selection as the camber will work in your favor.

i can tell you that my ET33 19x9 running 245/40/19 still has some room to spare. it's tucked under the fender nicely, not sunken in and no poke.

the only thing that might not work out with your 20" is your sidewall thickness vs wheel gap. basic rule of thumb for dress up is for the wheel gap to be no more than 1/2 the height of the sidewall.

Wish I could, but I want to get the Amuse kit. I want to be able to get into the underground parking lot at work. Right now I have 1 3/4' to spare if I go in under an angle. I will loose 0.5' with the kit, that does not leave much lowering space.

oh i c... can you take your dd to work? you're not going to be driving your Z in the winter anyway, right?
this is your hobby car, you should make no compromise.

i dont take my Z to work either.
