The amount that the TGF063 lowers the vehicle is ideal for large diameter wheels. One of the main issues with lowering and large wheel diameters lies in the offset and tire sizing. Aggressive offsets can require the fenders to be rolled on a lowered car.

As long you have a reasonable offset, and are not running plus size sidewall heights or abnormal tire widths, these should install without issue.

If your current wheel+tire setup does not rub your suspension currently, it will not rub with the GF210's.

Hi TanabeUSA need some advice, what should I do with my 2" gap in the rear after I lower my Z's with Tanabe GF210, my wheel/tire size are 18x9 +24 (F) with 255-35-18, 18x10 +24 (R) with 275-35-18, should I just cut the rear spring a bit.

You won't have any problem
I have the GF210 with Piaa Super Rozza 19x9 245/35/19(front) and 19x10 275/35/19(rear),
and I have absolutely no problem about the ride height, rubbing issues, etc.
The ride feel is actually more comfortable than the stock springs,
and yet feels firmer. Less body roll, improves handling a bit too.


my offset it +25mm btw.

In all cases, we never recommend cutting springs. It's not necessarily the cutting that is bad, but it is the heat generated through cutting that can destroy the internal structure of the spring and cause it to snap in the future. Not to mention the fitment issues, or the multitude of other serious and potentially dangerous reasons.

You shouldn't have as large as a 2" gap after lowering with the GF210's. As gimpster showed in his pic, the gap isn't that severe.

cutting or heating springs is one of the dumbest things you can do to your suspension.
