a dropped z will definitely look better IMO, but when you drop your car you have to worry about camber and go really slow on speedbumps and driveways. i do not want eibachs due to bounce and camber issues. i know a lot of members have eibachs on their z and are happy with them. its just that i would only use teins if i were ever gonna drop my z.

off topic, weren't you selling your iforgeds??

Damn, after seing some of the rides with 19's, I'm having 2nd thoughts. How much do the tires generally run for 19's? Is it alot more than 18's?

I pretty much have the same setup as havabooz (only difference is his wheels have rivets and mine don't). I haven't dropped my car and most people tell me it looks fine this way. You can judge for yourself from this picture.

Wow, I just ordered 19 inch Te37's and was worried about the drop. After seeing these pics, I now know I really don't have anythign to worry about at all. They look great! Plus I want the Veilside CF lip and dont want the streets and curbs to have it for lunch.

Those are some worn out 245/35/19. I'm going to replace them next week. I just got some falken 451 245/35/19 from todd at discount tires. He gave me a good deal.

I have my set of Volk SF-Winnings sitting in my room and had a question. The rim measurements are 19x9.5 +19 offset and 19x10.5 +17. My question is, if i'm not planning on lowering the car will i still have to get my fenders rolled? And what size tires would you guys recommend?
