03 Silverstone with ADR M-Sport 18"
Just got them on this weekend folks. I am very satisfied! I know some of you don't like the M-Sports, but... to each their own. Worth every penny for me.

I was really thinking about the 19"s , but since the Z is my daily driver, and the roads around here can be really sh!tty, I went with the 18"s.
I can already tell the ride difference, and it IS a little more harsh. I don't have the money right now to drop a boat load into the suspension components, to give me a little better cruising ride, so the 18"s are a good compromise.
Plus... the tires alone for the 19"s are about $100 more EACH ... I didn't want that kind of upkeep cost!
But, like I said, to each their own. I even like the ride height now... not gonna slam it to the ground, it ain't my style.
(but when I can afford the Nismo suspension... she's coming down about 20mm )

Hey, I like the wheels!
Ya know, from the angle of your photo the Z would look better with a small drop--though I've been looking at my car all day today (with the new wheels & tires) and I can't forsee doing the drop. Maybe I need to look at my car from a different angle.

Just did the same thing on my CS touring Put Michelin 245x40x 18s in the front and 275x35x18 on the rears. Front had to has about a 1/4 " inch of spacers to clear the AP/Stillen 13" brakes . The ride is a lot better then the stock 17s with 50 series Bridgestones. The grand+++ I saved over the Iforge & volks will just about pay for the Nismo suspension.
The only problem I have is the Veilside ver 1 lip scraps the drive way .. No big deal. I'll get some steel plates to cover the gutter and lessen the angle. Nismo s-tune suspension will drop it down it another 3/4 if a inch. We'll post pic soon.
