Black decals with black Volk Formula lugs looks great , especially on your car. I'm taking your advice and I'm getting 10mm spacers all around . With that said, I'm running 285/35 tires on the 19x10.5 +22 in the rear, would I need to adjust my camber?

A couple of older pics:






I also purchased some KW V2 coils and a Veilside CF lip but they would have to wait since I'm in Korea and my cars are in storage .

 

you will probably need to run a little camber.. and definitely get your fenders rolled if they're not already.

looks great though!

 

Thanks.

My fenderes are already rolled, but not pulled. I'll be fine with a 7.5 mm all around if I can't do 10 mm.

 

Looking good as always Angelo! Will look awesome when you lower it a bit more on the KW's.

I was running Toyo T1-R 285/35 on my old 19x10.5 +22 CE28n's with 10mm spacer in the rear, and I had my fenders rolled and did not rub. Camber was a within factory specs but on the ragged edge, due to being lowered on Hotchkis springs (about 5/8" drop) and stock camber arms. Here is how that setup looked:

 

^^^ That's just perfect, exactly what I'm looking for sry . Did you run 10mm spacers up front as well?

 

At that time, no, that's just the +22 wheel up front. I did add a 5mm spacer up front at a later date but I can't find any good pictures that would really show the difference.

EDIT: Here it is with 5mm spacer up front, but not the best angles. It was a subtle adjustment but worthwhile IMO. [I was running extended studs front and rear BTW].

 

^ Thanks for the pic, that's the look I want. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems an extra 5mm (10mm total) would clear the front fenders.

 

It looks like it would, although it might be close, but I never actually tried it. For whatever it's worth, I'm currently running 19x9.5 +22 fronts with 10mm spacer and 245/35/19 tires, and it looks like I could bump out another 5mm and still be OK. I imagine you are using 255/35 up front, which are theoretically another 5mm wider in each direction than my 245/35 (which of course varies by manufacturer and style), but just from eye-balling it I think 245/35/19 at +7 net offset will work, and therefore 255/35/19 at +12 offset should work too.

EDIT: My main concern is that there is a metal screw clip just about top dead center connected to the fender liner in the front wheel well, just above where the sheet metal wraps into the wheel well. There is a pan head type screw that you can remove from the clip which gives a little extra space, but I'm still worried about the tire hitting the screw clip if I space them out any farther. This weekend I may actually be testing this out, so if I end up doing that I'll let you know what I find.

EDIT#2: Another consideration is that 255/35 tires have a more "vertical" sidewall than 245/35 tires (assuming they are the same make/model of tire). So even when spaced out farther, the skinnier tire with more "slanted" sidewall will have more forgiveness for fender clearance as the wheel cambers in while traveling up into the fender well. So camber angles and ride height being equal, I may have more luck at 245/35 +7 than you would have with 255/35 +12. But I'm really just speculating all of this.

 

Again, thanks for the info sry. You're right, I'm running 255/35 (Bridgestone RE-11) on 19x9.5 +22 TEs up front. I'm not sure what brand your tires are, but my 255s up front look a bit more stretched than your 245s suggesting the Bridgestones are in all acutality, narrower. This will definitely help in making the 10mm spacers fit. I'll get both 10mm and 7.5mm just to be safe.

 

where you get your wheels from?

 

From a friend but you can get them from either a private sale or authorized vendor here. The color and wheel were discontinued but the wheel are so popular it came back into the market with newer version: TE37 SL and Tokyo edition.

 

20" TE37 on Amuse Z33. Pretty sweet.

 

That hood is soooo sick.

 

I'll re-***** this one:

 

^ lolz.


Whats ur next plans?

 

Not sure yet. I might put my white front reflectors back in, instead of the black ones I am running now. Not sure I'm digging the black....the white ones made it look more "crisp". Also working on cleaning up the interior a bit - hate to jump on the CF bandwagon, but I'm thinking some CF door consoles and instrument pod cover might spruce things up a bit.

But I'm just trying to maximize my enjoyment of the new exhaust and diffuser for the time being to prevent further expenditures during this billing cycle.

 

OT:

B-magic has one very very similar-

you can probably do this hood with the URAS drop in and blend it at a body shop-

 

I ended up going with the MCR after seeing Steve's set up. I wasn't convinced in the beginning because I never really saw the hood at an angle, I always thought the front looked to be horned-like but it's very subtle.

 

The TE37 just fits the Z's so well. Number one choice in wheel to put on any Z. Lots of great looking cars here!

Thanks,
Dallin

Seeing this pic really wants me to throw on a 20mm spacer in the rear.
