Looks good. The lime green in that wheel would have looked good on that car also. Moving on up haha.

was thinking about doing that, but I hated the ride quality after lowering both of my Zs so I might just leave this one the way it is.

Very nice!

It would look sooo sexy with a drop, but I totally understand wanting to enjoy the ride comfort. What's next down the pipe?

Look good , but i do think the 18's look better on those cars. Tire sizing is a little bit of a PITA , well finding tires in the right size that i would want to run.

the 19s are a 265/35/19 rear which is the most expensive tire you can purchase, im just going to go with a 275/35/19 or a 285/30/19 shouldn't have any affect on the car

Just the way it handles. I would have to look into it a bit, i know RR cars are a bit different than our FR cars. But you may want to bump up the front tire equally.

yea when the time comes for tires it will be 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 shouldn't make the handling any worse or better according to most people ive talked to that have made that switch.

you could have went with a thicker tire profile to alleviate the wheel gap

^maybe its just the fact that I dont know how to lower a car. I mean my last one had shitty wheel gap too dont you think?




I know that its got gap, its not that bad in person. I just dont want the bouncy *** ride you get with springs and I'm not paying $2000 for coilovers. Its the exact same as stock height so not sure how bad it could really be. I used the stock tires on these for now because they still have tread, I'm going to buy new tires this summer and make the sidewall a little taller and see how it goes and if it starts bothering me I'll buy springs and be done with it.

stock
