I contacted a LOT of dealerships for the calipers, but most of them said they were on restricted release. But yeah, I wanna see some different lugs on LMGT4s. Extended black lugs would probably look good on silver.

^^ I can't even fit 5mm spacers without rolling because of the 285s. Your Titek lugs look great, but I'm not sure if they'lll look good on mine.

You really don't need spacers IMO, also there are shorter versions of the red lugs but I leave it up to you:

it was either gunmetal or black. I figured gunmetal would hide scratches better than black Not that I treat em like chett, but you never know.

Decisions, decisions ... now I'm even more confused. Aren't these supposed to be stronger than Rays lugs? Still undecided on what woud look good on my car

Looks hot, but I really don't want to roll my fenders. Except for when I get 19x9.5x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +40 LMGT4s . I think they will have more lip.

Thanks bro, how is your search for 18s coming along?

I'm back from Bama I know, I'm trying to decide on springs and spacers so I can get it lowered. It's still dirty as it was pouring rain all through Bama and Georgia.

Thanks, yeah I really liked the looks of the Red Formula lugs with these wheels. I'm itching to get the spacers and springs now. I'm really thinking about the Eibach Pro Kit as I want low but not too low. I may skip the spacers too as I'm not sure how safe they are. I've got to read up on all that.

I'm on the Eibach Pro's and 20mm spacers on my 19's, it rubs every now and then but the rear fenders had to be modified.

If you get the pro's plus 10mm spacers and keep the stock body it should be still pretty driveable.

The car they were on had 20mm up front and 25mm in back w/eibach sportlines and looked really good. I don't mind getting the fenders rolled but I wish I knew what the pro kit looked like with those spacers and wheels. I'm gonna search the site and see if someone has posted pics with that setup.

The pro's are pretty common, I've been on them for over two years now but I had to upgrade my shocks since I drive my Z so much.

20mm spacers and the pro's would look killer on your setup, I'm sure of it.

Cool, I checked out your pics but it's so hard to tell with a black car when looking on a computer screen. I'll try to find some pics of the silver, yellow, white Z's and see but I'm definitely leaning towards the pro kit.
