Okay so I got a really really good deal on a set of 19 inch 5Zigen rims with tires. The tires it came with are 225/35/19 and 265/30/19. I threw the rim and tire combo onto the car and it looks really gorgeous, aside from the fact that the 30 profile on the rear tires seem to expose crazy wheel gap. Now I know later on when the tires wear out I'm going to go with at least 235 width tires in the front and 275/35 in the rear, but I don't have the cash for that right now. So which springs should I go with to get rid of the gap? I have like 3-4 finger gap in the rear, and like 2 in the front.

 

x350Zx,

I am on the same boat. I got a deal from a member for 19", but the rear is 30 series.

What part of LA are you? I am thinking of using Tein S. I hear Street Image is a good place to go.

I got about a 1 finger gap with the Hotchkis and no alignment issues.

 

hm but ur rear profile is a 35 series. hey tractng, I just got your pm bro. I'd love to meet up and drop the cars together. Just let me know when. Anyways I'm thinking maybe the teins are too little of a drop for me, but then again I don't want to go with eibachs. Hmm.

 

how long have you had the springs? did you get an alignment at all after you had your springs installed? you don't have any uneven tire wear?

 

well i am running h&r set up and the springs in the front get the whole entire gap now the back i have about 2 fingers but if you cut one dead coil in the back you should be fine that my next step but the front drops it all the way with no gap

 

lowered it with vogtland springs (no noticeable cambering) on stock 17's... i have one finger all around and tomorrow i'm picking up my 19's by 9.5 rear, 8.5 fronts on 35 series (a- symetrical) i should be flush or tucked slightly.
