Man those wheels, drop all look awesome on the car...making me really want wheels, and a drop now. Gotta wait for a while longer on wheels, so I got tires for now.

Really brings out the red with those wheels.

A stock height Nismo Z looks kinda goofy imho, but that just brings it all together.

Yeah, okay, that looks really good. If those are 295/35 then I was definitely way off. I was thinking it would give the car a sort of "jacked up" look...but obviously not.

Stock isn't too bad, but it's sort of one of those things that if you're gonna throw rims on it you need to close the wheel gap.

Thank you!! I thought the same thing but a lot of my other friends believe I "slammed" it. I know better.

I think I went down about 1.5 (just sitting above the tires). This is my daily driver, so I needed to retain practicality. Anyway, I didn’t bother measuring before hand, but I think that’s about right.

When you look at the wheel well, there’s a significant difference.

Otherwise right now, I'm not do'n nada...

You're pushy man!! Try'n to convert my car into a monster.

VERY HAWT car man (just like our AZ heat). I plan to visit Intense a lot again once that new Z drops and they get some parts, so maybe I will see you one day.

Did I tell you your Z is HAWT!!!

Intense should have the Ichiba 5mm Wheel spacers, but you would have to ask Darren.

Dang... You went from Changing intakes to possibly going twins... Uh oh.... You got the mod bugs!!!

Yeah, so I was going to do the spacers but even a 3mm spacer pushes the wheel out beyond the fender well (not cool)...so I'm getting the back of the wheel shaved about 2mm to create the clearance. Crazy enough, the back of the wheel grinded a thin line into my control arms. Should be good after this though.

Hey man, you should've never mentioned the new tubo kit...now I wanna add a little boost. I would love to strap on 700 bhp. This would be more than enough, but I figure I could tune it down a little and then if I really want more for off-road applications then I have it. This will be a "next year" project.
