More stretch or invest in camber kits... Btw what's the size, width rims and tire size you have? Maybe that would help a lot more.

 

^ thanks buddy i've exhausted all the options you mentioned, camber is -5, shop took a close look and dropping a tire size or even 2, they would still continue to rub.

wheel width and other specs don't matter really at this point, because i am where i am right now with these wheels i can't go back to anything else, especially after flaring the fenders out like that

but in any case it's a 12.5 +5 offset with 285/30 tire.... 20" wheel btw.... i know theres guys on here doing more aggressive that that, just wondering how they dealt with this issue.

what im ultimately looking for is to go down at least another half inch and get that credit card fitment between the tire and fender

 

Snapped a couple of random photos on my phone while doing errands yesterday.




Stopped by the body shop to check on the progress of my car. Saw this crazy looking supra. Ugly IMO, but the wheels were ridiculous.

Met up with a buddy of mine. He just started his GS project. Off to a good start, but is in the process of lowering it another 1.5".




Last but not least, my nieces whip rockin it hella flush! Maybe 5 degrees of negative camber will set it off and complete the look

 

going with more stretch will actually help believe it or not. I had this problem when i went with fat tires. Hits right where the fender meets the rear bumper. I thought theres no way this will work, but 5mm less cleared it for me

 

Well I would flare it out more if your running with a 12.5 and tires rubbing while going over bumps, dips are normal but it depends. If your running -5 camber I would go a little more. If you seen dan's Z or litoflow Z. I believe there tires rub also. That's part of being in the flush scene. Unless you adjust the dampener to stiff to prevent major rubbing..

 

you should be able to go rim to fender with those specs. My 20s are about 5mm out more so you should be able to lower it about 1inch more. Try going down to 275/30 or 265/35. I have 20x11 -19 245/35 generals

 

^ twin!! (your setup craps all over mine though haha)

changed up the wheels (got tired of how lows the 18s had my car sitrting)
and got a front lip + rear oem trunk lid spoiler







just some teaser shots, the rest will be up when my feature shoot pics are done being edited...

20x9.5 +0 (225/35)
20x10.5 +0 (255/35)

let me know what you think! thanks!

 

not bad for 20's on a Z as long as you're keepin it dumped

 

thanks man! and yeap this is pretty much my permanent height

 

Adon - what brand tire are you running? I tried a few different tires on my 19x12 +0 and i finally got the stretch I wanted. First was the Kumho (275/35/19) which was just like your situation, tire kept rubbing the fender. Then went to Nitto NeoGen (275/35/19) and that stretch was just right to stay off my fender but the sidewalls on the neogen were ehhh.. So finally I now have Toyo T1r's (275/35/19) and they are perfect. No tire rubbing at all. Hope this helps.


This is the only pic I can find that can reference to one of the tires I had when I was at my lowest. NeoGen 275/35/19

 

hey buddy, i'm running a nexen n3000 285/30 on the 12.5 rear with +5 offset.... i took a good look at it from the rear, and there is no point in going down tire sizes, there is at least a good 10 if not 15mm of tire just waiting to make contact with the rear bumper section, i'm just gonna have to live with the rubs, only happens occasionally so it's not a big deal really as it doesnt seem to take any chunks out of the tire, i drove it around for an hour tonight looks fine.


i'm running 20's though which is like half the problem right there, 19's give you a good amount more clearance i suppose... But it is what it is man I will go in for alignment and try to set up my caster back to OEM specs hopefully that helps a bit...

another option also which i dont think i will be taking is to setup my rear coilovers purposely wrong to rely heavily on the strut and little spring so there is very little suspension travel... i had actually been riding like that for a month and not once did it rub, but the ride was extremely harsh, pretty much unbearable on my streets as the rear would literally lift off the ground going over certain bumps.... today when they pulled my fenders he adjusted the coils to it's proper setting to utilize the strut and spring accordingly and that's when the rubbing came.... and i'm already set up with 10k spring rate in the rear with dampening set to full stiff






yea i thought about going different tire size but from the looks of it it's impossible, i would have to do like a 245/30 on a 12.5 to clear it which wouldnt work obviously... imma just man up, sucks to roll hard like you guys say right, lol






yea i will see where i'm at after my alignment maybe after adjusting caster it will fix the problem...

your car looks great btw, really well put together

 

You need to trim the bracket that the bumper bolts to. And trim the bumper

 

..more leaks..
