That is a good look. No spacers right?

Thanks! 245 and 265.

25mm front and rear.

Thanks for the pic!

I was wondering how 245/45/18 and 265/40/18 would look since Michelin PSS's don't come in 275/40/18.

Anytime man! If you need more angles just let me know!

Illmatic370z

I'd like to see more angles ! The current tires i have are almost done with. So looking for a wider setup.

jpritche

Sorry, just now saw this post. I can post more up tomorrow if you want. Any particular angle?

FOR ANYONE THAT WENT FROM STOCK TO SPRINGS:

Pictures didn't do it justice. I think I need about an inch drop?

PLEASE LIST PROS & CONS. I really want to sit a little bit lower and become flush. Its my DD and everyone says not to do it because I will totally lose the ride comfort. Are springs THAT bad?

I went with Swifts and personally I find the comfort equal to factory springs. The car is definitely firmer when you push it through the corners but overall comfort remained the same. You just have to be mindful of speedbumps/dips/potholes.

Pros:
- Firmer handling
- Car is more neutral, some of the understeer is gone)
- Retains factory comfort
- Looks

Cons:
- Have to be more mindful of dips/potholes etc. on the road (especially with F.I. CBE)

What size tires are you running?

I honestly think the picture of my car looks relatively the same as yours..

Is the only way to be flush like this, to buy coils or bigger wheels?

Yes. No springs are going to lower you that much and to get rid of the fender gap, you would have to go with a big sidewall tire which would look goofy o_0

The best thing to do would be to save up for some coilovers if that is the look that you are going for. I am so glad I decided to get coilovers!

NickTurnon

I have 275s in the rear with 20mm spacers.. I just want to be flush!

It shouldn't matter which wheels you have as the 18" and 19" are both the same diameter and circumference and you'll be changing the springs which are responsible for the ride height. Just decide on how low you want to go and keep in mind you'll probably need a rear camber kit as a minimum.
