Default Whats your take on these?

So I was getting over maintaining white wheels, and had came across a sweet deal on these rims, so ended up picking em up. What you guys think go lower or is it good?

Thanks!

Kinda hard to see the wheels, so I'll reserve any comments. Z looks fairly low, I'd leave it and keep the extra wheel travel.

More importantly, clean and dress your tires.

But yeah, your front end does appear a little higher than the rear.

Looks fine to me. The front looks higher because you have staggered tires. 245 front 285 rear maybe? No reason to mess with the suspension.

Maybe the prior owner did the rear spring mount mod. For some odd reason people like the prerun look on the Z.

Did someone say prerun?



IMHO since you seem concerned about you wheels staying clean, use wheel wax! If you read up on this link (paragraph about waxing your wheels is about 1/4 of the way down) http://www.autogeek.net/wheelstires.html I think you'll agree that it's the easiest way to keep your wheels maintained and dust-free for longer.
