Aggressive Wheels and Stretched Tires....Welcome
Thanks man. I know what you mean about the stiff feel the s13 had. I had Tein Flex Coilovers w/EDFC with just the normal 7/7 spring rates and that car felt rigid. Way stiffer than the Z. I'm running Ksport Coilovers in the Z with 12/10 rates. I have some 12kg springs I want to put in the rear. Just been lazy. I really only had 2 choices for coils since I wanted to ride slammed and needed a true rear coil which limits you to Stance and Ksport. Stance was backorder at the time and I didn't want to wait 3-4 months just to put my rims on.
I've looked into it since and have found Zeal and JIC make a true rear coilover for the Z but they are both way above 2 grand in price but I think that will be my next mod. I bet they would ride 10x better and be a lot stiffer than the Ksports. I want that really rigid/stiff feeling in the Z that my s13 had

Might not be functional I agree but I only bought it for looks.
16/14 does sound good. Hopefully the shocks are valved to handle it though. If not, it isn't going to ride that good.
wow hmm... not a big fan of this particular look but i thought this would be a great place to ask anyway haha. does anyone want to recommend a good replacement tire size for the raysGT/nismo wheels? i'm looking at some 255/40-18's and 275/35-19's, anyone got any experience with that size? problems with VDC etc.?

20x11 -5
255.30.20
Roll and very slight pull. My rear lips still hit the inside fender. Rims are all scratched up from it.
Wish I had stiffer suspension in the rear, that would help a LOT.
In the pics it looks like I have mad room but the rim just physically sticks out too much which is why it hits the inner fender. I don't want to pull that much more though and risk making the fenders wavy. So I just deal with it. Did that on my old s13 and I hated how it looked.

Will 245/35 & 275/35 8.5/9.5 +10 (or +15) be a decent setup for the aggressive look with OEM -1.6 camber, dropped 1.5-2 or more inches. Read through a bunch of posts and seen plenty of 9.5/10.5 setups with offsets in the high teens/low twenties that looks nice running 275's in the back..but I assume that 275's have a slight stretch to them than with a 9.5 wheel.
I also assuming that 9.5 +10 (or +15) (275/35) at oem spec camber would require a fender roll only, but what about running -2.0 camber - no fender roll needed?
(Trying to get a clearer picture to see which spacer to go with, camber, fender rolls, etc.. with this setup).
Thanks for any input

That would be true if it fell on its roof.
