Drop with 20's?
 
I have 20 inch wheels and I'm wondering how much I should drop it...anyone else have 20's and lowered their Z?...if so, what setup did you use and how much of a drop?...also, did you have to roll the fenders?

Should be posted in the Wheel/Tire forum. Do a search in there. Lots of answers.

I have the axis mods. The offsets are 37 and 38 and I dropped them using hotchkis springs and no rubbing issues at all.

djnc Oct 27, 2005 01:13 PM

hotchkis eh?...how much of a drop is it?...my front end don't really look like it needs to be dropped...were your front wheels close to the fender to begin with too?...thanks for the pics, btw...looks great

I'd say go with 1" for the front. 1 .25"-1.50" in the rear.

+20 front and rear

My car is dropped 1" in the front, and 1.25" in the rear. My catalytic converters are litterally 4" off the ground. It's a miracle I don't hit anything I go over but I don't. I can't see REALISTICLY going any lower without problems. Just giving us the offest is worthles without telling us the rim width.

My Z is lowered with Nismo S-Tune 0.8 drop. 20's (20x8.5F/20x10R) with +25 offset all around 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. It only rub's a little when taking a real sharp turn. You might rub a lot more with +20 offset. In my opinion you will have to use 285 in the rear. 275 will look to stretched w/20x10.

i think he wanted 20s only

the rim widths are on my sig...i'm not sure i want to drop that much...maybe .75 in the front and 1 in the rear...do you think i'll need to make a camber adjustment with that kind of drop?

djnc Oct 29, 2005 06:26 AM

here's a pic...what kind of drop would you suggest?

i just want it for the looks i guess...it looks lifted in the back...i don't want to sacrifice too much of the ride quality, but i need to get rid of the space between the wheel and the fender
