Smile Photos: New wheels and some minor things

Just installed the following on the car:
Rota P45R 18x9.5 +25
Falken FK452 275/35/18 All around
Clear Corners
License Plate cover
Springs coming later this week. (tein s.techs)

Let me know what you think. The drop will make it a lot better
(this is also in the photography section, but here, its to show the car. there, it was the photography )

I am on H&R which puts down 1.5" all around but i still have 1 finger gap all around

Very clean Z. I think it is simple and smooth. Not over done and everything flows well. I would recommend full coil overs for the drop. I prefer Stance, but that's just because that's what I have.

BTW, what are the 3 white circles in the 2nd picture?

Not very aggressive, but clean and looks good.

Love the P45R's, just waiting till they make them in 19s

Were the clear corners a b*tch to install?

looks good but needs the drop bad that fender gap is huge. Good pics too and love the aam exhaust. Do the bumper mod makes it look even better .

I don't like those wheels. Not because they're Rota's, but because I just don't like them.

Nice engine though!

I dont really like it. Plus, why are you running 275 all around? Your wheels are supposed to have staggered overall diameter.

You don't have to, plenty of people run squared setups....

Thanks. No not at all. Taking the bumper cover off is pretty easy.

I am saving some cash for the full coil overs for now. I wanted to get the springs to hold me off until i could afford coilovers haha. Thanks for the comments.

I have no idea what the circles are lol. Ill re upload that picture tomorrow.

275 all around actually works really well. I love the feel of it.

EDIT: I re read what you said, and i am certain you are not trying to tell me you want staggered DIAMETER. do you run 17s in the front and 18s in the back???
lol
my Wheels dont have staggered WIDTH so running non staggered WIDTH tires are great.

No you were right the first time. I know you have the same size wheel all around. And yes you can run different size wheels if you want, not just width.

Anyway, as long as you like it! Have you rode in any Z's with aftermarket wheels with normal sized tires? How does it feel different if you dont mind me asking?
