That isn't the direction I wanted to go originally for sure. Would rather go full coilovers on my 19's and roll the fenders. Southern Colorado roads are effing brutal though. Lol
I'm lowering my Z 2.5 inches, to go along with a new wheel and tire setup. My vision is to get a Flush look on 18-19s, without jeopardizing race capabilities. No brands. Just wheel size, width, and offsets and Tires with Minor to Medium Stretch and height.

Thank you all!
At the ride height you picked, you already destroyed its race capibilities

I tried to go 1 1/4 inch with stock components on my 19's. 6k and I'm eating the back tires. Had to order full rear camber and toe. At my ride height, with the road conditions in Colorado, I have to drive carefully off the main roads. I can't imagine going twice as far down. Lol. I don't think the front bumper would survive a track day.

Sorry to hear that man. Noting your prior posts you clearly put a lot of advance thought into minimizing that issue before you upgraded. In any event, sounds like you'll have a solution in-place soon. Besides, maybe an excuse to "buy more tires" and hey...who doesn't like to get another new set of tires, whether we need em' or not!

Lol. Yeah I did a lot of research but the Z has some negative camber naturally as it is. I accentuated it by lowering the car that much.
But like you said...... I get to buy more stuff :-) Camber kit means new bushings. Went ahead and ordered new roll center ball joints for the front. Gonna try a rear tie bar to put more of the force on my suspension components. And some new sway bar bushings since I'm under there anyway.
And my tires are asymmetrical so I'll go down to discount and have them popped off the rim and swapped from left to right. They aren't worn to bald. There's plenty of life in them yet!!!
XXR 527s 19x9.75 +15 all around (beyond me why they're 9.75")
Front: 245/35/19
Rear: 275/35/19
I'm on stock suspension; I don't really mind the gap too much and don't have the desire to spend $2000+ on new suspension (pretty obvious considering my wheel choice)
I wish I had better pictures because I'll admit the car looks crappy, but I promise it looks nicer in person.

Looks good bro. But you definitely wouldn't have to spend as much is 2000 on a suspension even though you could. You could buy Springs and Camber gear for well under 1000. I tried to go the cheap route and just get the springs and it didn't work. Lol.

I agree, I could do a mild drop for not a lot but seeing as my car is at 120k miles already I don't think my poor shocks could handle aftermarket springs for very long. I'd probably buy some nicer wheels before I did any suspension changes. Some that aren't so damn heavy like these fat turds.

Well if you aren't on the track all summer I doubt a little weight is gonna kill ya. And they look good.
I put my Springs on at 75k miles. Stock shocks are holding up but I'm prepared to replace when necessary.
You could get Tanabe pro comfort coilovers for 850. I read good reviews on them. Plus a few hundred for camber and still be well under 2 grand. Food for thought.
I thought I would give a proper picture of my baby. Unfortunately I'm selling it to get something more affordable and then buy a crotch rocket to fulfill my death wish.
My new setup, with a few reference pics for those considering a similar setup.
Front 19 x 9.5 +22 275/30/19 Nitto Invos. Rear 19 x 11 + 22 305/30/19. Only slightly lowered on Tein S Techs, no roll with this setup.
Hi I'm planning on getting Volk Racing TE37 Ultra
F: 19x9.5 + 22 OS with 245/35/R19 tires
R: 19x10.5 + 12 OS with 275/30/R19 tires
Question is.. will these fit flush? or need to roll a bit? thanks
**Currently on stock suspension**

Please do not TRIPLICATE post the same question. Already deleted one and this one's next.
Here is my setup which is not common, does it counts ?
Wheels: Work s1r
Front: 18x9.5 +22
Rear: 19x10.5 +22
Tires:
Front: 255-40-18 Continentals
Rear: 285-35-19 M/T Et Street ss
rolled fenders all around.
Funny thing, When I ordered the wheels from Ravspec, the sales guy asked "are you sure this is the size you want ?? this is not a common setup for the Z"

Certainly one of the best looking setups I've seen here. The Work wheels really look great with the Redline paint.
The drop is perfect... It maintains the concentricity of the tire to the wheel well opening.
