b. take the rears off.

 

Did you have to roll your fenders with those 10.5 GTC's? What offset do yoy have?

 

I dont THINK you have to roll them, but I went ahead and had them cut off (they cut, re-welded and resealed). Just in case you know. The rears have a +24mm offset.

I did drive it for a couple of days and it was fine, it didn't show any signs of rubbing. This is with 275/35 's tho. My Tein S-techs should be here tomorrow, so after I get those on I'll know if the fenders really needed to be rolled. The goal is to run the S-techs with a 295/35 rear tire.

 

How has your handling been with those stretched 275's in the rear?

 

i think without them it has a much smoother look , thats ony my opinion tho...

 

The handling has been fine. I don't think its stretching it too far for the tire.

I had my wheels off last night to put in my new springs (all I could get on was the rears as I couldn't get the front strut off the car ), and I noticed that the inside of the passenger side tire was VERY VERY worn. I had had the car in for an alignment at the dealer in Jan, and I think they might have messed up. The driver side looked great. So I will be purchasing new tires here soon. I want to get 295/35/19 rear and 275/35/19 front, but I can't find any one manufacture that makes both sizes. What ever I end up buying it will be a 295 rear. My suggestion to anyone thinking about 10.5's; get them. They are great. But be sure to get a 295 tire, the 275's are just too stretched.

 

finelly took my splash guards off!! i think it looks SOOO much cleaner , thats just my opinion tho.. lol here are some pics

 

Take them both off or leave both on. I'm not feelin the front on look.

 

THe fronts blend into the car and look very aerodynamic. The rears dont. The rear splash guards are ugly and boxy. My car came w\out splash guards. I put the fronts on only.

 

I agree completely.

 

i asked this question on another splash guard thread but the thread seems to have dried up

just received my z with guards but the dealer is installing this week

my question - how are they mounted? if i decide to remove them are there drill holes remaining that are visible? cause i may just not install them if there are

thanks
