Default trying to make my car look more aggressive




I have a stock 350z and im debating on getting new rims or powder coating the stock ones. My reason for wanting different rims is the fact that my car doesnt look very aggressive the way it is now, i think its because of the gap between the tire and wheel well and the tires are too sunken in to the wells..im new to the site and tried searching but im not sure what to search for any ideas to make it look better?

Spacers set your wheels out further.

25mm spacers at the rear and maybe 15 in front? spacers will make your wheels sit wider.
But if you're planning to get rims in the future (which i recommend you should), keep the money, then save up and get the rims with better offset.

then get a set of lowering springs (if you got extra cash or if you're planning to to go the track, go for coil overs)

then get a front lip.

sideskirts rear diffusers and spoilers should be your last concern after all the engine mods and stuff.

Yes. Need pic of stock Z. Mine is outside, and I'm too lazy to get off the couch to go see it.

well i live on gravel which sucks but i dont have another option at the current time, so i would rather not go lower or put a kit on it, just something subtle to make it look a little better, i think the spacers are exactly the type of thing i need now i just have to decide on keeping the wheels or getting different ones

If you are going for an agressive look you need different wheels end of story.

let me revise this. THIS IS REAL IMPORTANT!! YOU NEED TO GET NEW WHEELS WITH AN AGRESSIVE OFFSET. IF YOU GET NEW WHEELS WITH A WEAK OFFSET ITS GOING TO LOOK HORRIBLE SO......... DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR ASK A FORUM MEMBER BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR WHEELS.
