My personal favorites

 

Thanks for all the compliments. Yeah, I'm waiting to lower it too! My next purchase will be Tein Flex's, Tein EDFC, and most likely 350evo sways. It's burning a hole in my pocket.. even with just the wider stance and better tires, I can feel the difference around corners; the light increase in handling teases me towards the possibility of finishing my entire suspension .

By the way, I saw a Silverstone 350z yesterday on the 5S. Had bronze wheels, red brake calipers, no wheel gap... nice ride, made me want to get the Tein's even more!

I know I love looking at pictures in threads, so here are a few more . Pictures never do anything justice, these wheels are so damn great.

 

 

Nice color choice for your PPW. I noticed you only had about 8,000 miles on your car since 9/2002? I have about 10,000 since 11/2003 . You should drive more .

(Mine's a daily).

 

I have another vehicle I use for work.....the Z is too small. I drive the Z whenever I get the chance, but it's never often enough!!

 

Hmmm... that kinda doesn't make sense? Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what i understand about offset, is if it's more +, then the mounting surface would be closer to the outter surface of the wheel, resulting in less of a deep dish look. Well, that's what i thought anyways, I'm new to the Z and don't even know what the offset on my factory rims are yet
But if anyone else has picture of these wheels on their car, post them! I can't describe how much i love them lol

I forgot to ask HaNkYs_Z... do you have any pictures of your car with the volk rims? I checked out your cardoman site and you only have pictures with the axis rims now.

 

Those look hot! Nice rims.

 

Here is my old thread, the one difference compare to now are the height of the car, I adjusted the height to make the gaps looks even.

Nice choice!! Nice camera too .. what did you take those shots with?

 

Beautiful, just beautiful... you guys are making me drool. xzsaint, what offset are you running on your le37t's?
Do either of you or hankys_z have any issues with the rear rubbing? By the looks of it, it looks like it might rub just a tiny bit. The pic i posted looks like the wheel tucks in a bit better... or is it just because he's lowered?

 

zxsaint's are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around and my are 19x8.5 +29 and 19x9.5 +12. My does rubbed, but I dont think zxsaint's setup are rubbing, we both lowered, but my tires are Bridgstone SO3 and his are Toyo T1S. The SO3 275 is wider then T1S 275, thats the reason why my rubbed and his doesnt. I trimmed my rear fender well off about 5mm to cleared the wheels.

 

Thanks! I have a folder on my desktop labeled "LE37T" and in it are about 7 of the pictures you took of your car. I swear I drooled over them during the weeks that I was waiting for mine to come. I wish I had time to wash mine before I snapped the photos so that my fronts weren't so dirty, but I couldn't wait.

I have a Sony F717. That F828 looks really nice though. Again, great pictures, I'm looking at all yours again right now haha .

 

I agree.

 

Actually i'm on 285 S03's .. no rubbn'

 

I never really wanted to get new wheels for my SB.... until I saw those. That looks incredible. Good work!

Really? I always thought yours are T1S, thats why yours doesnt rub. What kind of spring or coilover did you use? how low did you drop?

 

I'd like to know that as well. I'd love to go with the 10.5 rears, but if it's just gonna rub on me, then i can settle with 9.5's... even tho it won't be as deep dish looking, at least it'll fit

 

You can go with 10.5 +34 on the rears w/out rubbing and get the same concaves and lips, I didnt know that until few days ago. But I am not sure if it will fit over BBK or not.

 

s-tech springs w/ 0.7" drop (according to tein). I'm also running 285/30, which is very slightly smaller than the stock diameter of the rear wheels.

Here's a pic a week after the springs were installed (I adjusted the brightness and contrast so you can see the gap better). They did settle a bit lower (0.2") a few weeks after but you can see there's quite a bit of clearance.

 

Sorry to highjack the thread (BTW crayons, your car looks amazing!), but by what amount does the tein suspension lower your ride height? If one did not want to lower the ride height of their Z, would you be able to get the type Flex w/ EDFC and not buy new springs too? I mean, only buy shocks, which I wouldn't think would have any effect on the stance? Sorry again, (kudos again to crayons) and thanks.
