I think I could go 20 or even 25 mm. I stuck with 15 mm due to my lowered springs and I was worried about rubbing/scraping.

The PSS are the best tire I have ever used on any of my Z's and you will love them. Be prepared to replace your rears in about 12,000 to 14,000. I just replaced my rears this last Saturday.

^ So with the stock suspension, I can go with the 20 mm all around without any rubbing issues?

BTW First song I played in the 370z ( with the BOSE ) was Red Barchetta, which is still the ultimate driving song plus its about taking a car for a high speed ride

And do you think it's OK to go 20mm all around with DRM's?
It's obviously simpler to install these but some people have commented they are leery of bolt on's. It would seem if they are properly torqued and maybe locktite then they would be OK.
Stories of vibrations etc. have me gun shy on spacers.

I value your opinion, based mostly on the content of your photo threads as you clearly appreciate quality.

I would go with DRS if I were you. It's safer to have the wheels bolted directly to the hub, as opposed to them being bolted to the spacer. If you are running hub-centric spacers you should not experience any vibration. Just my

Mr. Happy is right -- go with stud replacement (DRS) type.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder why you're not rubbing. Coulda swore that setup would have. In for long term results.

My statements were based on TGO's rubbing issue. He has 20mm and is lowered on Teins (which are milder than Swift).

Upon further reading later in the thread it seems that issue may have been related to a bumper replacement/misaligned fender well.. Dunno, I suppose some additional follow up questions would be prudent.


What did you do with your Z today III
