If your running your Z like that... why dont you get some Mickey Thompson ET streets... you wont be spinning much. Plus for DR they last pretty damn long.

Thanks.
You're right. At least you have to add a 10mm spacer for the front in order to make it work. I just installed mine today...

I may try a 15mm spacer in order to obtain a more aggressive look...

cheers!

I installed the GTR wheels today with 20mm Kics spacers.




The tires rub a little when I hit bumps but no rubbing when turning. Do I need to stiffen the suspension to keep the tires from rubbing? Any recommendations? People talk about rolling the fenders but what does that actually mean and how is it done?

The HMMWV is for work; I sell machine gun mounts and armored turrets. The HMMWV was modified by Predator Motorsports, 500 hp Duramax conversion, ARB lockers, etc.

take it to a body shop and ask them to roll the fenders... around 100 or so to do it.

look at the inside of the front fender... then look at the rear fenders you will see what rolled and non rolled is

I think you may have too aggressive of a spacer on the wheels, it is making them sit too far outside the fender.

I also think it may be the tires, but I would try the spacers first.

With some adjustments I think it could look great. Spacer might have been a little aggressive in the front, but you may still be able to pull it off. The tires have a tall aspect ratio for being 20's. I run a 30 series in the front and 25 in the rear on my 20's, admittedly I should run 30 series all around though.

Do you have any suspension mods? Might want to roll your fenders and lower it with a quality set of coilovers. That may detract from the "donk" look, but if not new tires with proper sizing for the Z will be in order.

The front will physically not fit w/o a spacer IIRC (won't clear suspension), it just doesn't necessarily need to be 20mm.
