Default New wheels+Drop

Hi all. I finally decided to clean up my car a bit. I just lowered the car last week on Tein S-techs. I've had the wheels for about a month now and finally had time to take some pictures. I apologize in advance for the crappy photos. Hope you all enjoy and comments welcomed.

looks hot, but needs a 15mm rear wheel spacer, and maybe a bigger rear tire, that thing looks like a 20 series! of course this is just my opinion

Thanks for all the comments guys. The rear tire is 275/30/19. I will get 35 series tires after the rears are out. As for a spacer, possibly a 5mm to 10mm. Anything more, and it looks like I will have to roll the fenders. Thanks so much all.

they look good but they look a bit thin compared to mine. What size did you get? 19x8.5?? Oh yeah...which part of sacramento are you from? It's nice to see another modded Z in Sacramento.

I should update my info. I lived in Sac about 2 years ago. Currently, I am in the Bay Area, but still have family in Stockton and lots of friends in Sacramento. The wheels are 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in rears. Thanks a lot for the comments.

So do you currently have both the 06 civic and the 350z? I'm trying to decide which one end up buying. (Might seem obvious to choose the Z... but it'd be a used Z, and would be my daily driver in the Chicago winters.)

The Civic SI was a great car. A person running a red light totaled my car. The car was a lot of fun to drive. It handled surprisingly well for a FWD car. It was over 6 years since I've last driven a FWD car prior to the Civic SI. You can't go wrong with the car. I had intake/exhaust/header/reflash for the car and it ran great. I also had the OEM Navigation. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I can gladly answer them. Thanks to all for the comments.
