damn that looks good. I was also thinking about this set-up...except the 9.5 up front and wasn't sure how the rear was going to fit with that offset. Do you think you could possibly run a 275 out back w/o rolling your fenders...assuming you dont have yours rolled.

I'm not talking about cutting the springs. No way would I cut springs. I am talking about cutting the rubber mount above the springs. check this out. https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension-diy/246148-diy-cutting-rear-springmount-aka-the-springmount-mod.html

my fenders are rolled. I could fit a 275 without the fenders rolled. I rolled them because I plan on dropping about another 2" in the rear.

You need to drop your car ASAP. Those wheels will look 20x's better when you drop it...

I like how 30% of the people reading these thread don't read the entire original post.

Cut the rear spring mounts and it'll be sweet... Love the wheels.

Thanks for the comments guys. The wheels are light. The 10.5 is only 18.5 lbs. And remember, the springs and cutting the mount is only temporary until I get my coilovers.
