Default Pics of CS w/ Work Emotion KAI?

Like title.. preferably 9.5 all around, w/ a lower offset in the rear. Also, what center cap options are available? Everyone I see doesn't have any.

eh the colors are about the ssame. jesus that looks sharp. did you have to roll fenders or anything? +12 is the size i was lookin for. I plan on putting 285 in the rear and 255 in the front. I'll get the JDM tite gangsta look in the front, and mantain a meaty stance in the rear.

i didnt have to roll the fenders because i stretched the heck out of the tires all around. u can even run another 5 mm spacer in the rear too if u want. i did that for a lil bit so that it would stick out as much as the front. i would recommend cutting/rolling the fenders tho if u plan on lowering your car a lot especially with 255 in the front and 285 in the rear.

you wont be able to run +12 with a 255 front/285 rear without ALOT of rolling/cutting - same goes for 245/275

not to mention turn in response is goig to stink, and it's going to tramline badly on crowned roads.

you are going to be severly limited in your tire size going with the +12.

+12 is most definitely doable

i wouldn't recommend it if you aren't familiar with wheel fitment on the 350z or are scared of touching your fenders.

it also has to do with how low you are, camber, tire choice, etc

a 9.5+12 is equivalent in outer position to a 10.0+18 (for rear)

the only upside is that the +12s are in stock versus the +20, which is a special order 8 weeks

its all trial and error really with tires...adam itll probably rub on stock fenders...mine are semi rolled...i think to fir the 275s i might cut or roll them more...im also running some negative camber so it helps fitting it in...hopefully i get it on soon...ill see you at the next meet hopefully...your cars beautiful man
