quit typing and start posting? interesting concept.

that looks ridiculous by the way.

tire shops decline that crap for a reason, not because it looks stupid.

^^^. Yeah those offsets dont warrant those ridiculous tire sizes. You could have ran a 275/35 rear without a problem.

Not a noob, so dont start flaming. I have had my car set up for the track and now I am moving to a more sleek look like you guys. I am not familiar with these types of setups.

I am curious, I am looking at all these cars and really want to do this to mine, I am just worried about my body kit. It ain't cheap nor is the paint job. I know to get one you have to give up another.

To get this nasty look, you have to have a great stretch and dropped car you need a proper suspension. What suspension are you guys running that allow you guys to look so good rolling down the road.

There are so many different suspensions out there and no one around me has their cars setup like these. When I went low on my eclipse, I had these damn springs that went over the stock struts and I would bounce all the time and scrape my kit. I dont want that to happen with my Z. What do you guys recommend.

They look like Porsche wheels....euro guys like OEM wheels from other manufactures instead of aftermarket wheels.

hey guys. im not really going for serious poke or anything, but since most of you have had some trial and error, i'm wondering if you could help me out.

i'm going to do a 1" drop and the front fenders are already rolled.

here is what i am planning for the wheels and tires:

19x10 +20 front with 255/35/19 tires
19x10 +20 rear with 275/35/19 tires and a 10mm spacer

i'm trying to get it as flush as possible without rubbing. i also want to make sure i dont mess up the TCS with my tire sizes. what will i need to change?

You wont be rubbing at all. But, a 1" drop isnt much....

A 275/35 wont be aggressive at all...and this is the aggressive wheels and stretch tires thread.

If I was you I would put a 245/35 on the rear...just my $.02

Whats the point though if they aren't flush? The 19x11+0 with a 275 will be more flush than the 19x11+0 with a 245/35. Isn't that the whole goal stretching?

So you can have "poke" away from the fender without the tire rubbing when slammed. In essence to this thread, that is considered "flush".

I run a 275 on a 10.5 (like alot of folks) but I can only poke out so far before the tire starts rubbing on the fender. I can't slam it too much or it will rub. If I pull the fender too much, then it still won't look as "aggressive" from the front angle view.

Any narrower than 275 and I can start lowering more.

350ZephyR is right it is a combination of the three,, that gets you flush..

275 is not aggressive at all when it comes to stretched tires..With 255 you will have a little more meat and a little poke but with 245 it sits just right.

This is how his setup would sit..as this is my setup



If that is to much poke for yea,,,then go with the 255
