Default My updated 07 shots

Here are some new shots of my 07. I posted up pics earlier in the Mid-A section back when I first got it. I've finally gotten a few mods and few more coming. pics arent the greatest, i left the cam in auto mode. ill try to take some tomorrow with some better shots





The wheels are:
Volk GTS Titanium Gunmetal
19x9.5 +17/10.5 +18

Toyo T1R tires
255/35/19 285/35/19
I'm on stock suspension and it seems like the rears stick out a lil. Is this normal? I put the hubcentric rings on and it seemed like it was as far on as I could get them. I looked up pics of others Z's with the same wheels but they were lowered and seemed like it lined up fine.

They do seem to stick out too far. The front looks good.

You're sure that the wheels are completely seated against the wheel hubs right? When I installed my wheels (not Volks, but aftermarket nonetheless) I pressed the hub centering rings into the wheels and then put the wheels up on the hubs. Those rings were very tight. In hindsight I should have applied some never-seize to the ID of the rings because I think they are going to be a ***** to get off. I just hope when (if) they come off that they stay in the wheels and not on the hub. Anyway, the rings were so tight that when it felt like the wheels were all the way on, they actually had another 0.25" or so to go. It wasn't ideal but I had to tighten the lug nuts little by little to draw the wheels down onto the hubs. Took me an extra 1.5 hours I estimate to take my time and do everything slowly and evenly. Anyway, check to make sure your wheels are seated completely.

The wheels are normal. I have a PPW 06 with the same wheels (diff color). Yours looks the same as mine.

IMO it looks sick. 10X Better than all the people who spend $5,000 just to have there wheels sit 2 inches in the wheel well.

EDIT: NM you have 285. I have 275.. So yea you stick out a little more than me.

Very nice, bud. Yeah, the wheels stick out a bit, but probably nothing to be concerned about ... but try what sry110 said and if it does something, take more pix!

i dont mind the way it looks, i was just worried about when i lower it. im gonna get the rear fenders rolled but it looks like it'll still hit the outside edge whenever i hit big enough dip,etc.

thanks everyone for the comments. the seats are the biggest compliment i get on the car.

that is how the +18 offset is supposed to look in the rear.

looks aggresive as hell, i love it. not to sure about the gunmetal on PPW, though.

285 is known to need a good fender rolling. It'll fit fine.

thanks everyone, i did check on them yesterday and they are sittin right on the hub so im not worried bout that anymore. The wheels are Nitrouz's old wheels, he was offering them for good deal so I got em.

i can honestly say that ive put everything on my car. even tho they are small mods lol. the shift **** was a PITA gettin off. i plan to put on the shocks/springs on as well with the help of few people hopefully within the next 2 weeks
