On the front I wore through the fender liner where the tab is and the rear I could barely get a finger between the tire and fender. If I had 19's on there it would have had a lot more fender gap because I can't lower it any more due to my driveway approach. That's why I put 20's on there. It give's me about 3/4" more ground clearance and lets me lower it a little more than if it had 19's.

But a 911 which doesn't have that dissimilar body style than the z looks fine with 21's in the rear and 20's in the front?

911 GT3, GT2, and GT3 RS look good. Our cars look like DONKS on 20's if you don't lower them way down and you don't want to do that. It's the body of the car to ground clearance that makes ours look like DONKS if not done properly. It's not the fender to tire clearance that is a concern. You would look better on 19's and the car lowered just a smidgen.

I was thinking the same thing. 20s look good on the Z.

Here is a car setup properly on 20's. The problem is, most folks won't take the time and spend the money.

That's my problem. I can't lower it on 19's, even a smidgen, especially with 35f/30r. With 20's I gain 3/4" in ride height from tires and then I can lower it 3/4" to 1" with suspension and get it back to stock or a smidgen lower than stock ride height. If I stayed at stock ride height with 35f/30r 19's the fender to tire clearance would be huge and really look goofy. Just my opinion. One trade off for another. I can't have the best of both worlds. There are a lot more wheel and tire combos available in 19's, I would much rather be on them. 20's just work better in my situation.

That thing is dumped on 20's. Gonna need better coilovers than KWV3's to match this.

Here are his specs.
Fronts: 20x9.5 et12
Rears: 20x11 et -1

You would be better off going with Rusty's setup.

Told you it was dumped. Looks good though.

My car doesn't sit as high as it might appear. If I remember right, it measured 26-1/2" from the ground to top of fender arch. Maybe some other's can measure theirs, I'm curious how much higher mine actually sat.

18 v 19 v 20 it doesn't matter
comes down to purpose and execution

18's can look badass:


as can 19's




and of course 20s

[redondoaveb]

Didn't know they made a 20x12 te37

[OptionZero]

dude thats what i have, been running it for 2 years. It's the standard rear GTR fitment so Mackin actually stocks it stateside (in bronze and gunmetal)



315/25/20 with room to spare
-2 camber

Alignment guy said 325 would be easy peasy

Hit up Tom @ SpeedImageUSA if thats what u want

[Zezus]

I think they look good on 20s
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[OptionZero]

Depends on stance
