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?

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??

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

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.
