nothing wrong with lowering a car for dressup. i do it all the time for dressup cars.

do you drink pretend tea, wear your tiara and wave around your little magic princess wand around when you do that?

Was bout to say super nice but should of went with something more aggressive on rear.youll need a 10mm spacer.nice choice though bro

update... sigh.. was suppose to had my wheels and tires installed this Saturday but america tires sold my fronts without telling me. Now I gotta wait a little longer.

But I did get my car back from the body shop auto explosion. I am 99% happy with the job.

So.. anyone know which 10mm wheel spacer I should get?

Are you having Americas Tire install the tires?

Be careful if you are

yeah.... but the america tire by my place are friendly... lol

I wouldn't be putting these on your car until Your low… I hope you have Front Upper Controls, Rear Camber arms and Coilovers on the way… If not, this setup will look ridiculous. Nice choice on wheels though. Unfortunately, Id be returning these before you get them mounted, or go thru with mounting and run spacers.

GL man

makstraw · 09-29-2014, 01:19 PM

Id like to reiterate, if you haven't mounted these, Id be trying to send them back…. Id hate myself for not doing enough research on offsets, spend a buttload of money on these, and then not be happy.

Austonian · 09-29-2014, 02:42 PM

^what? thats terrible advice.

Nice wheels man, dont let people tell you what you need to do.

kentstuh · 09-29-2014, 03:00 PM

!? dang guys..... now i am really confused. some people told me these will fit. some said these are the offset i need. some said my fronts are fine but just need spacers for the rears. sigh... now i am really stressing it.

help and advice my z peeps!

Waiz · 09-29-2014, 05:44 PM

I have no idea where people are assuming that you need anything aggressive with those specs

I would not even bother to buy spacers until you get them mounted and only then if you can determine they need them should you invest in some

You have what I would deem as the ideal setup for a Z33 or Z34 (as long as it clears your brake calipers)

I would even go as far as saying that the setup would look fine even on stock suspension given that you are choosing to run a fatter tire

Honestly, in my own personal opinion, I think you should put the tires on the wheel, put the wheel on the car, lower the car to where you want it, get it aligned to where you want it, THEN look into how much room you have to push your wheels out using spacers. If anything, you might not even need spacers depending on your own personal tastes and preferences.

FairladyZ10PG · 09-29-2014, 06:08 PM

With the right drop and camber setting, they will look good.

I have a similar setup and I'm dropped on KWs except my rear is +7 offset (after 15mm spacers of course & SPC camber kit).

Can't wait to see the final result.

p.s. I've also had America's tire mount my tires and they've done great (four times to be exact).

Just make sure you kindly ask the installer to be extra careful and let them know those wheels are expensive if they can't tell already
