The thread showcases how little tire you can put on the widest rim possible on a lowered Z without rubbing the fenders.
For example, if people think this is cool and functional, then it is!
Get over it!
Someone PLEASE post pics of Z's like the LS Z with the rainbow wheels.
rainbow wheels?
lol jp with ya. you mean gram light titaniums. (rainbow sounds

Yeah. It's understood. It's a style that certain people choose to like and run on there cars. On a side note, the actual weight difference in an 18x9.5 and an 18x10.5 of the same wheel is nothing to even speak of.
