Hmmm, you went to 305's? Damn...Pictures asap. I'm guessing you are no where near as aggressive/low as you were anymore? I loved your stance even though you were stretching hard. 235 to 305 is a huge difference though, I think 275 is the best, maybe 285 for the rear. Best of both worlds.

Now that you stretched the tires, it only make sense to drop it as low as it can go and add spacers in my opinion.

I just saw it in person, it actually looks really good. Those crappy close up pics dont do it justice. And i dont go around just giving anyone props about their stance. (just needs 10mm/15mm spacer all around).

and if you dont like stretched tires then theres nothing we can do about it. you should just leave this site and sell your Z bcs 80% of the cars on here have it....lol :P

nowhere near as low or aggressive. Car feels much more sluggish and turning doesnt have the instant response anymore. And idk about 275 or even 285, i cant have some average tire size/fitment everyone has. Either stretched or meaty I'll have pics as soon as im finished with alignment/height adjustment.

The bolded above ^ is why I decided to stretch. 245/35 and 275/35 were an "average" setup...I knew I didn't want really meaty tires, so I decided to go the other way, lol. I've loved the look of stretched tires ever since the first time i saw it on a friends G35, and I really loved the look of Juan (Toby22)'s Z. I just never had the ***** to go through with it...until last Friday

All it needs is some lame *** wire wheels for the total south of the border look. Her definatly broke one of the rules to having a nice modded car, never install narrower tires than stock.

lol why you mad. I thought you were asking for opinions. Do you consider a 165 tire on a 10.5" wheel stupid or something? It's not average and "moar" stretched if that's what you're going for LOL

Definitely adding spacers. It's not that bad now...I just want the wheels pushed out more. 10mm in the rear and 15mm in the front.
