you may have already touched on this (im too lazy to read right now), but im very suprised you didnt get proper offsets you wanted from the get go and have to use spacers... doesnt really go with the theme of perfect planning/execution you followed before.

car still looks great tho

wheels he went for does not come standard in lower offsets. And going with his current offset, he's able to run anywhere from 275/35 to 305/30 out back just from a minor fender roll.

Lower the offset the more limited you are with tire size, unless your willing to pull your fenders

Update: Here's how my car currently sits.

__________________

Rear: I forgot to pull the hand brake after lowering down my car. It was on jack stands for a few days so it actually sits a little lower now (matches the front).


Front: the 255's for some reason looks stretched in this zoomed in photo. In person its a little more meaty.

I know dude, I can't believe I didn't think of full body shots. I'm looking to take my car out this week for some shots. It needs to get out of the garage. Its nice to have a little showroom section like this, but I'm so lazy to back up my truck just to pull her out then vise versa.

For sure. I didn't know you're a photographer, we should do a shoot sometime after I complete my exterior if you're up for it.

I wish I had the equipment of a pro, but I don't I started doing it as a hobby and then it kind of became a side job so every once in a while people contact me for a session.

Thanks Brandon, I will be shooting a Z from this forum next month. It would be fun to shoot a Nismo. It came out a year after I bought mine and when I saw it, it was too late to retract my purchase

I had close up shots before, now here's an angle to show how she currently sits. I used to ride slammed and thought that raising my car 1" higher all around would make her look 4x4, but after seeing some full shots its not too bad
