ChuckD05's PW 370z 6M

Thanks!

I'm having my body shop try to paint match 40th wheels so when rays go back on they may be 40th color. I do love the way the stock rays contrast and pop off the white but I dig the Gunmetal look too. But I'm liking these for a winter set too.

Gunmetal does look good on white.

Man, your terrible iPhone pic looks great. That's the direction my car is going ('cept I used 15mm spacers and no painted out back end) and I'm just waiting for the coilovers to show up. Have you ever actually measured the wheel arch height with Eibachs on?

jnaut · 12-15-2010, 09:34 PM

score!!

chuckd05 · 12-16-2010, 03:39 AM

No I Havent but with the skinner profile tires my car is now lower

, too low where it will rub the wheel welll. But if it wasn't that low the winter wheels wouldn't look all that good at all. I def miss the rays and their stance with my spacers but I love the traction with these winter tires.

And the pics with the winter wheels were taken with a rebel xs. Thr detailed pictures from the first page and the test shots of winters with the iPhone. I'm still a rookie with the dslr tho ...

Jessobear · 12-16-2010, 07:18 AM

Having it lower doesn't usually cause rubbing, different offsets or dramatically different tire sizes does.

chuckd05 · 12-16-2010, 11:43 PM

It scrapes my driveway where it used to not scrape.. it doesnt rub on turning or anything like that... The tires are just over 3 percent smaller

225/45/18 245/45/18

It doesnt cause any issue worth worrying about though... It will be just fine through the winter months...

I have gear envy.

The car looks great!

Torgant · 12-29-2010, 08:23 AM

chuckd05, is there any problems with srv, after the final drive installed??

chuckd05 · 12-30-2010, 12:40 AM

I unfortunately do not have SRM

... I have upgraded to the VLSD and had the wheels and am in the hunt for brakes but no sports package for me... I don't necessarily regret it though as my car was purchased at a steal of a price.

Car looks great! I still and juggling the idea of which color to get if I upgrade to a 370! My favorites right now are either black or silver. Currently have the daytona blue on my 350, kinda want something a bit more conservative. The white looks excellent though, am definitely considering that as well!!

RCZ · 01-03-2011, 05:37 PM

Looks great man, let me know about the tires!

I like the mods you've chosen, looks like you've done a fair amount of research.

Iceman WTF is with ur avatar ?

chuck regarding your post in the HFC for sale thread about the rear-end. do you mean the black and white look with the tails blacked out?

if you're considering it, look into shadowing tails. where they basically take your taillight apart and paint the inside black, it looks a lot cooler. and you won't get any cop trouble in LI.
