Nice wheels, why did you buy the wrong size rear tires ? Why would you want a 40mm stagger in width from front to rear ? Did you get the hood from the junkyard ? or are you just waiting to get it painted to your car?

Your 20's are 285/30 also? That is actually the proper size for a 20 inch wheel, not a 19.



The rear tire is actually shorter than the front , 285/35 is the proper size tire. When you do this VDC/TCS does not like that , ABS can potentially not like that, and last you effectively change the caster setting and your car get nervious (twitchy etc etc) at freeway speeds.

Should i bother to go into stagger??

Love the wheels on this man

These are the matte gun metal right??

I just put a set of these on my black Z I will post some pics up soon. Funny because on your car they appear lighter and on mine they look darker. Its a pretty unique finish to go with our different wheel design. +1 for being different and +2 for the concave look .

Sharp looking wheels! Respectfully though, the kit doesn't flow (sideskirts are not to my taste and don't fit too well, front bumper cover is a Porsche rip, and a fairy dies every time someone installs a Stillen hood). Also, the crooked hood duct makes me want to turn my head to make it straight.

Again, wheels are nice.

Again, great choice in wheels.
The title of the thread is about the wheels and not about the car...but any how, I do respect your opinion because that's what it is...I like my car and that's what counts...FYI my car wins lots of shows...just the way it is...
