Nice color combo, how wide are those 20's? The rear looks too narrow, I think a 30mm rear spacer would help. IMHO any aftermarket rim needs a drop, it looks like a pick-up truck without one.

20x10.5 +25 in rear
20x8.5 +35 in front

Houston roads are horrible, so no drop.

Depends on the wheel choice. If the spokes go to the edge of the wheel, then 20s look huge. If the spoke ends inside the wheel, then they look smaller.

Mine on 20's, no drop.

Sweet that's the best looking z I have seen with no drop

What rims are those?

Thank you.

Vossen CV2. No longer made.

That's a great looking Z Cooltoy. Those wheels are gorgeous.

wat width tires on da rear? those look conservative for a 10.5 ET25. looks more like 10" ET25. or even 10" ET30. u can run another 10mm spacer on the rear and wider tires.

i run nismo wheels with RE11's.. i think they were like ET23 or something and 10.5 width, but are more aggressive and fills the wells nicely for stock height.

275/30/20. I was going to go for 295 rear but was scared it would fit.

should be fine. does ur wheels have voids next to the lug bores on the inside disc? If so, u can run 10mm bolt-on spacers for a quick finish. actually if u did wider tires AND the spacers it will look very nice.

u dont want to push out narrow wheels/tire setup too flush at stock height. looks weird from the rear. i lol at Z's i see driving around with 20-25mm spacers on da rear running stock non-nismo wheels/tires and height.

This was my car pre and post drop. I added Swift's.

I'd love to lower mine a touch, but swifts are too much of a drop for my driveway. I could only be able to go 0.5 of an inch, no more. Possibly Nismo springs could give that, but there is no widely documented proof of that.

i read that the koni yellows drop the height just a hair vs stock. might want to read into it. should be a nice setup (given it doesnt leak..

dey are notorious for leaks)
