So why are you debating about the springs? I still need to get springs too.
Did you have your fenders rolled for your +12 rear wheels yet?
You know I test fitted my front wheel and saw how close the wheel got to my suspension. I measured it and there was only 10mm of clearance on the inside. This weekend I am going to mount my 265/35 front tire. I really hope it doesnt rub. I am so exited to get my wheels on, i probally wont be able to sleep tonight...

Because depending on how much clearance i have with an s-tech drop and if i like it or not, i may switch to gf210's and camber kits for a lower drop IF i dont like the look of the s-tech. all i was saying is if i dont like the teins ill switch to the tanabes depending on clearance fitment etc.. Spring choice comes down to the drop and if ill need a camber kit or not, so im going the more expensive trial and error route and buying a mild set and getting the lower springs later if i dont like the drop with the s-techs.

Yes i have my rears rolled already because i was going to originally go 10.5 +20 in the back also, but went to 10 +12 so no problems there.. didnt roll fronts because i was going 10.5 +20 originally and was told they would fit with a 265/35 on an s-tech drop, but now im just at 10 +25 up front so ya know decided to go with 275's.. which is no big deal if they rub ill just roll the fronts then,

and your 265/35 will clear no prob, on a 10 inch wheel youll get a little stretch if i remember right so youll be perfectly fine, even on something like tanabe springs.

sorry for the wall of text lol.

Four XXR 521 18x10+25 were mounted yesterday. 265/35/18 in the front didnt not rub at all. 275/35/18 were good in the rear. TCS(slip light) did not come on. I even had room to add a 8mm spacer in the rear. I am not dropped or rolled yet. I dont really like the 3 finger space in the rear. I have 2 fingers space in the front. I am going to try to find a lowering spring that is 1inch front and 1.25inch rear. I really dont have the big bucks the get adjustable coilovers yet. Over all I like the new look. I will post pictures as soon as I find a camera and figure out how to post them. Thank you guys for all your advice.

BTW.. I was suprised to find out I didnt have tire pressure sensors in my old tires.
I have a 2004 350Z Roadster Enthusiast.
