The tire rubs because I'm running +15 offset in the front with a 2.5" drop.

Since I rolled the front fenders, there is no more rubbing and our roads are terrible around here. On a nice smooth surface, it's no issue.

The front tire size is stock and I wouldn't want to go with a 35 as I like the meaty look of rubber on my rim.

I did end up going with a +15mm spacer on the back to make them a 0 offset wheel. I would like my rear to sit a tad bit lower (maybe 1/4 inch) and to do that I'm going to take out one of the perch rings.

I'll probably do this next week... I'll put more pics of it then.

Thanks!

Sure...

I took this pic a few days ago with my phone. I'll try to pull out the Nikon when the weather gets better.

i love your color combo and stance. i never really liked BS but the way you executed it made me change my mind

Gunzero · 07-08-2011, 07:19 PM

this z is so clean.. cleanest one in forums.

TypeOne · 07-09-2011, 05:26 PM

Thank you!!!!

I did a little more work today.. damn it's hot outside.

I lowered the back down a little more to kinda even the stance out. With my 15mm spacers the rear is stilling perfectly...I think.

I also picked up some hit temp paint and sprayed my calipers brembo gold with Akebono in white. I'm going to send them to Mike when it is my turn, but this should hold me off until I can do that.

Thanks for looking! If you like what you see, give me some repppp! :-)

ahahaha thanks dude!

It's all in the prep work! All in all I think the materials cost me like $20.

Having access to a vinyl plotter helps get the logos right the first time.
