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)

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.

Thank Ken. I will do some reading.

About to order some bolt on spacers from Z1. What size should I get? I don't want them to stick out and I don't want them too flush. Just a little in from the fender. 20mm or 25mm? Is there a easy way to measure?

Put a flat piece of cardboard or plastic on the face of the wheel. Make sure the piece reaches under the fender. They use a ruler to measure the space between the cardboard and the fender edge. That is the spacer required to make the wheel flush.

Get a ruler and a plumb bob. Use the plumb bob at the point where you want the tire to be and then measure it with a ruler. That's what I did. Or you can eyeball it with the ruler

It measures close to half an inch. I'm going to go with 20mm.

Anyone with 19s with a bigger lip on them at stock height? For some reason a lot of the photos aren’t available anymore.
