So as soon as it slightly compresses the fender gets destroyed. Even if you raise it , you need to set the shiock length to where the bumpstops will engage prior to fender destruction.
Or change to wheels with a better offset.

its just a 245/35 on a 19x9.5 +12?? wayyyyy more aggressive setups have been done than this.. i drove around today and hit a few dips/bumps in the road and it didnt do anything to the fender?
Right, tyres are too small for the wheels and wheels are to wide for the fenders and suspension is too low for everything...
*Edit, just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be Honestly though, if you love tootling around and parking your car, knock yourself out, if you like driving it, you've got big issues there (and a quick test round the block isn't driving it)

245 or 255 is one of the most common size tires on a 9.5" wide wheel. what in the world are you talking about? I'll just raise the car a hair.
gave her a good bath after installing front akebono bbk should be installing rear in a few months after I give some use to my 15" MT drag set up. also should be buying lsd in a few weeks/days.
tell me about it... I went trough he'll to get them that color. but find someone bear by to power coat them. happy with the results. should look beautiful once it's done, of course it's gonna be missing the drill/slotted rotors but hopefully next year.

different mfg. sized dont really match up. a 245 from one company could be the size of a 265 from another. i know my nittos run wide. they are much wider then the re760, both of them being 275.
noooop!! they fit perfect.!! la if it was made for it. haha
damn.. lol. mine are ebay steelies with horrible backspacing so that probably plays a big part. but yeah i had to shave like 5mm off my rear calipers, and run a 5mm spacer.
Currently keeping her on 4 jack stands...completed oil change. Replaced the front rotors and pads. Now I'm stuck trying to get the damn rear rotors off.

haha yeah that explains why.. my offset its +0 so they look kinda deep. beside your drags look thinner than mine. what size are you running?
almost same size . 27/10.5/15. the bad thing is that there's not a 1/4 mile near me. so I might be selling my drags no need to have them might just get street radials

I still love that color. I'm not a fan of 98% of aftermarket wheels, but your Z looks great with those wheels.
