actually no nissan bought my car back a week ago. im still sad. and the rims you see on the car were stolen so that was a bummer too.

my car looks great when it was in that form. the only thing that i was going to do to it was get spacers for it for a more aggressive stance

idk about that. I think the older models start off lower right? I think the newer models look bad without drop, but the older ones look ok. fender gap is pretty damn small, and if the car has a kit dropping it might not be the best idea.

I haven’t the faintest idea where you might find photos of 350Zs with aftermarket wheels. Sorry.

The 03 seems to be lower than the new models. And the body kit makes it looks even closer to the ground. So yea, I guess it doesn't look THAT bad

I have and 06 w/ GT Rays wheels and there is a lil gap, but the car is lower already for everyday use I can't imagine lowering it even .5". I still get scrap going up or down lil hills already as it is. I watch some of you guys cars and I wonder how you guys drive them around, but I admit they do look better.

What profile tires are you running?
I have 19s with 35 profile tires and I think it's still now low enough even with 1" front and 1.4" rear drop.
I guess 03s do have lower stance than the newer models huh.

Well the wheel specs are 19x9.5(front) and 19x10.5(rear). The front is running 255/35 and rear is running 285/35. I was told that I have "incorrect" tire size for the back. But I personally think 285/35 looks a lot better than 285/30 or 275/35 that I was suggested.

I Just Put 19's On My O6 And The Front Is Ok But I Have Huge Gap In The Back. I Have 19x8.5 In Front And 19x9.5 In Rear With 245/35/19 Up Front And 275/30/19 In The Rear. Id Say The Front Would Be Perfect With A .5-1.o Inch Drop And Atleast 1.5 In The Rear Ill Post Pics I Just Put Them On And Its Dark Out
