Talking Got my new shoes!

Hey Guys,

Got my thruxtons installed. Not the greatest wheels..but I'm happy...very. Quite an improvements from stock.

18" Thruxtons.

Eventually I'll get some spacers as everyone recommended..but for know it's ok.
Sorry the Z is very dirty right know..it rained all day.

Comments please thanks

Wheels look like they are even with fenders so not sure about the spacers

Wheels look small imo

+1...+1 on the drop also. You'll be satisfied with a nice 1 inch drop.

Nice wheels. 15mm spacers in the back will give you an even more agressive look. But more front to back angle shoots with your front wheels straight would be a better comments to your spacers statement.

yeah when i swap out my factory i will go 19's int he back and 18's in the front, but i am thinkg about 15mm spacer for my car now as i dropped it an inch and with stock 06 wheels you can see the inner gap, i think 15mm should help a little on fnt and back, (maybe 10mm on front)

Thanks all!. I appreciate the comments. Will seriously consider the drop, maybe 1" with Eibachs. They do look good but I should had got the 19"s. They are a lil heavy but not that much. I'm also considering a spoiler, any advice?, maybe the Nismo Spoiler. I'm running 245/40 and 275/40 on Falkens.
