- swift springs only
- wheel selection that appears to have very limited sizing
Why don’t you tell us what wheel you’re looking at? I assume I will then tell you to pick a different wheel, but hey, let’s find out
If you want to be flush, you need:
- coilovers
- SPL stuff
- rolled fenders
- better wheels
- a good alignment shop
If you haven’t already, read THIS:
Wheel Fitment 101: START HERE
Having said all that, you sizes will work, they’ll fit, but it’s a fairly standard, conservative fit. If all you want is that low effort fitment, go for it
But if you’re paying for “custom” spec wheels, it seems like you’re lighting mo day on fire. It’s like paying for a tailor to do a special order suit, but in the wrong size |
I've read your responses on this thread and was wondering if you would respond to my post because I figured I needed to prepare myself LOL I know some people have an issue with the way you communicate, but I appreciate the incite you provide.
Anyways, I agree with most of what you said and I should probably rephrase what I want. I said flush, but really all I want is to lower the car by about 1 inch and install wheels/tires that are aligned with the fender; not too far in, not too far out. I'm not expecting (nor do I want) my wheel wells to be nonexistent, I just want them to be reduced; hence the lowering springs. I suppose you're right in that I'm not going all out with the coil over setup and all the associated components with that, however, I'm just trying to make a tasteful mod w/o going overboard within personal reason. Of course, tasteful mods are subjective. You made a good point in the custom factor. I was able to talk to the engineer, and what I was told was the way the wheel is made the lowest offset they can shave the mounting pad to is +19mm. I can't argue with that; hence my post on this forum. I have no problem sharing the wheel - Momo Anzios. They look very different and I haven't really seen many wheels like this, especially on Zs. I wouldn't say they are crazy expensive, if anything, they are less than some of the very common wheels I've been seeing on Zs (probably for good reason). Just looking for confirmation, that is all. Thanks, again!
