This would help immensely.

Love the VS-XX's. The car's a little too low though... I'd raise it up a tad IMHO

Finally getting some nice Zs here in Melbourne, I've seen a few modded, but most are stock. I've seen you a few times on US1 south going to work, but I need to see it with those rims, I'm looking to do something similar with 19"s.

When I get some better wheels, we'll have to do a meet. Chris tried to get something together a few weeks ago, but it fell through.

Do you know who drives the blue Z around here that's dropped with the loud exhaust? If you saw it you would know what I'm talking about.

Whether or not he was trying for the 'gangsta' look... definitely acheived it. I dislike it personally, but to each their own.

No matter what, you need to get larger tires for those wheels... doesn't look right at all in that last picture, you're sunken in.

+1 you're not going to be able to take turns at all in those, but i guess if you're into driving the nismo like a cadillac .

Also, it's been said, but jesus... that's low. you must live/visit the best paved area(s) ever heh.

not hating on him for modding a nismo.. hating on him for defeating what the car was created for with stretched tires and being way too low. :P

I understand everyone of your point of view and agree with most of them. dumping the car on its nuts on stretched tires does defeat the purpose of what the car was built for but lets be honest, daily driving doesnt do the nismo justice either. So with that being said when i do track the car i re-do the suspension set up and i have a set enkei's with nt05s on them. The look and stance it has right now is just for the little time that i spend driving it around. This car is far from my daily driver, it is just something to play with on the weekends. Thank you all for compliments and what not..

Did you buy the wheels Brand new ? Reason I am asking is because the specs you gave with offset would clear the brakes fine. Kind looks like you get them used from someone that did not own a 350z. Looks like you made them fit, I can see curb rash on wheels. Say good bye to your NISMO body, with a drop that low your going to tear it apart.

One of the nicest Nismo Z's I've seen. I like the Nismo, except for how the side skirts hang/dip lower towards the rear wheel. You have an even drop, but because the side skirts are like that, it makes it look a little lopsided. Anyways, let's see some high res pix!
