went w/ same size as everyone else-245/35 & 275/35
I'll get some better pic's when its more sunny out

 

Nice combo! PPW and gunmetals. But I'd be afraid to leave my Z all day long in a place with shopping carts.

 

very nice

 

Lookin' Good! Can't wait to see it in person on the 29th!

 

quite surprised to hear a ride improvement going to 19's, but ah well, the roads are pretty smooth in NC anyway. nice wheels

 

im jealous

 

Those are tight!!!! I just orderd my 19" GTC's in silver and Proxes T1S's from GMP Performance here in Charlottte. Is that the Lowes in Huntersville?? I work on exit 25 and would love to see them in person. Damn that looks good..

I love em so far,..but def needs a Drop IMO,..Eibach's might be perfect!!Notice I'm in the back of the parking lot! I don't trust that **** either,..but My Girl LISA and her Big *** VAN(white & Blue) in the pic normally gives me the block!!

THANX GUys!!!Few more Mods and I'm pretty much done! I hope?

McDuck: See ya on the 29th,...hopefully your I-Forged will be here by then too

 

Yep, I will be there on the 29th. I missed the last drive because of the icee storm we had. Are you working tomorrow? I would love to stop by and see the wheels in person. There isn't anyone who has them babies in stock. I also want to see how wide the tires are and how good they look when they're mounted. Later...

 

na,.I'm finally off tommorrow---but will be there Sat....The Tire r the hardest to find right now,..call Shawn or Audra or PM MONKEY MAN,.I think they still have 1 or 2 sets left,.and thats like it!!! Bridgestones are a GONE,.no one has the Rears--but Toyo's are scattered far and few!If Any?

Street Sports has hooked me up 2 times now!!Didn't have to wait @ all for anything w/ them

I'll be out rollin around tommorrow gettin oil changed but the tiresare WIDE as hell!! and pretty light @ that! Can't wait for the Eibachs--Ordering tommorrow!!!

You'll have to give me a call sometime...I got a guy that has G35 wanting to meet up thats on this board and hes installing his INJEN this weekend--but Dennis and I are probably gonna try to hook up Next Saturday to get my springs on--maybe my Grounding kit as well?????

 

Read my profile and you'll understand why I asked!

 

hahaha oh,.ok I see,

My POP's is a retired Store Manager so he hooked me up w/ the Job & I been there ever since---Depot better watch out!! Lowes is catching ya'll! (you have us by Sheer STORE Volume-but Bottom line figures--LOWES Ownz!
HDepot is supposedly Spending over 20Million to redesign Becasue of the Stock and Customer Loss from LOWES--but hey--I just work there pretty much--ALmost switched to Depot for a HUGE salary Change..but Moved to Charlotte instead and got a pay increase

But Its a crazy job and I know you know that too!!!Scheduling I'm sure is a pain in the *** as well!

----Try to stay sane!

 

LOOOOOOKING GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait to see the drop and the other goodies on your car!!!!

i'm not a big mudguard fan, but when you drop it, dump the mudguards as well. imho.

anyways, keep up the good work.

VERY NICE!!!

I do disagree with 1 point, IMO the Z does NOT need to be dropped, it will be fine if it is (I have lowered everycar I have owned for 12 years), but the Z doesn't NEED it, MUCh like the M3, 911, 540, etc...

 

hmmm..I kinda think it does..I've lowered all my old cars too,..and it does handle the 19's well...not too tall lookin,..but in person,.it does Sit pretty damn high and there is a nice size gap--

but damn sure not bad for 19's--if you put 19's on a Stock height INTEGRA or something,..damn it would be a F*cking Monster TRUCk for real....
But I'm gonna try a few things next weekend w/ the suspension and see how it does as far as lowering it!
I'll have more pic's
heres on I photochopped of a drop sort of--just cambers gonna be the worst part!

 

ya, if you put even 17-18" on any HONDA, they looked like a 4x4 (I have a civic sitting in my garage FOR SALE right now with 17" and with ST springs and Koni adjust struts).

the way I decide if the car needs to be lowered is if you look at the contour of the tire VS the wheel well contour. if it is even (or close) it LOOKS GOOD (IMHO). the Z actually looks like the front is even slightly lower going buy this criteria. If you use that rule for a Honda, they ALL need to be dropped, which is why I always do mine. My bro just got a RSX-S and he is bumbed that he absolutley HAS to lower it, when he gets wheels.

GOOD LUCK, the car looks GREAT!
