On Stance GR+ coils.. Can go even lower. (which I plan to do next season)

Wow...nicely done.

Question for those who have lowered their Z. I am coming up on a month of ownership with my car, and the first thing I changed out was the wheels/tires.

I went with 19x9.5 with 25 offset in the front, and 19x10.5 with 12 offset in the rear. I played it safe with the tire sizes and just duplicated what the Nizmo Z runs with 245/40 front and 285/35 rears.

The wheel gap is killing me, so lowering the car is a must. When I purchased the wheels, I was expecting them to be pretty flush with the fenders, but they actually stick out about 1cm at the top of the wheel.

I'm looking to lower it as much as I can without having to run much more negative camber than stock. I was going to go with coilovers, but am now just thinking about using Swift springs and lowering it about an inch.

Is there anyone with similar size wheels that could post pictures of their setup so I can get an idea of what to expect?

I am running the same widths as you just a more aggressive offset, a +17 front and +8 rear on coil-overs you will be able to maintain a OEM camber angle if you get the camber arms and what not. Also if you look at anyone with a set of TE37's they will have a +22? front and +12 rear.

Here is a few pictures

Not having any issues with rubbing running stock camber with those offsets?

Love the set up, what's the cost for the kit?

He had Stance GR+ coils in that picture, which is what I am currently running and love them along with SPC front and rear camber arms. I picked up mine from THMotorsports which is based out of Chicago and where great so contact them and they will get you the best deal. Tell them I refered you if you have any issue let me know.

With an engineering background it just blows me away that somebody would buy wide wheels and proceed to throw skinny tires on them with so much negative chamber that half of the tire is literally off the ground. The entire point of wide wheels is to fit wide rubber. The entire point of wide rubber is to increase grip. How does wide rubber increase grip? By increasing the size of the contact patch. This setup does the exact opposite of this.

I know it is just for looks but it looks ridiculous too.

:iagree:
