I still have a bit lower to go, but this ride height is perfect for me not to rub on any of the speedbumps that I deal with on a daily basis. The fenders are still stock and have not been rolled. Since it will be about 1 week before I will be able to get around to rolling the fenders, The rear camber stock adjustment has been maxed out. I am still playing around with the settings, but here is what I have concluded:

As it stands, I can definately put a larger tire all around.
With the offset I have, I do not need camber arms in the rear since it will only aid me by adding more negative camber.
I can afford to drop it 5mm more all around.
The car definately needs a wash!!

The JIC coilovers rock the house! I had figured that the 10k/10k spring rates would be pretty crazy for daily driving, but with dampening set to 2 out of 16, the car rides the bumps like a stock Z. With the dampening at 15 of 16, it is very tolerable! I love the comfort of the JIC's!

All of the typing, I almost forgot to post the pics....







Again, the sizes are:
19x9.5 +11 235/35/19
19x10.5 +11 265/30/19

 

Holy **** look at the lip!!! Looks great and the drop is really nice.

 

that looks SICK!

sick as in amazing.

Do you have any trouble with rubbing on the fronts when you turn?

Matt

 

dont scrape up your exhaust!

 

wow..seem like the camber for the rear go inside too much? very nice.

 

AMAZING ride man!

 

Oh, so THAT'S what stretched tires look like! lol...

But I see you're eventually going to change out to some wider rubber after rolling your fenders.

 

looks like you need a camber/toe kit bad!!!

 

dang, probably have to buy new rear tires in a few thousand miles.

 

damn sweet setup man! reminds me of my S14 days!

 

thank you for pioneering max wheel fitments for us z owners!

 

damn that is hella sweet. mad props for the ***** to run something like that on the street!

 

looks good but the rear camber appears off

 

Said it b4 and I'll say it again...sweeet...

 

Nice rubber bands you got there. 265 on a 10.5" wheel.

 

WoW that looks awesome. Love those rims...

 

lol, only way they would fit.

 

The camber and toe will be played with after I get back from Irwindale this weekend. I have Battle Version Rear Camber Arms, and CUSCO front upper arms sitting under my desk to see if I need them to get the camber in spec. I am also going to see how much camber it will take to get the toe set to factory specs and see how flexible the factory adjustments are to work with.

I love the 265 on the 10.5" wheel! Personal preference. It still looks beefy from the rear, and I have no NEED to go wider on basic N/A mods. Maybe when I build the motor, I will flare the fenders a bit to go for massive traction. The front tires fit great. I was rubbing the front fender wells, but after raising it 10mm it is much better.

Rubbing exhaust is not happening at all! Thankfully, Greddy designed it well enough for good ground clearance and anything that may hit on a speed bump are either the lower mud guards (rarely) or on a huge speedbump, the chassis cross brace will that the brunt of the impact.

Tires in a few thousand of miles? .... Nah ... the treadwear on General UHP's are like 400 or something nice.

 

Very nice. Definitely taking wheel fitment to the limits on stock fenders. Love how its flush with the fender. How do you like the Battle Version arms?

 

I haven't installed them, but the arms look great and have performed great on all of my customer's 240sx cars.
