No offense taken.

Didn't want to go too extreme with the drop since most my driving is within inner Los Angeles.

As for the choice of wheels, I didn't want to be another sportscar with BBS RS or TE37's . I actually wanted the Advan RS-D's but they didn't look all that good in real life as opposed to pictures.

Question

does the z try to track with the 255s up front? hows the handling now, does it feel better in the corners/general driving improved or feel the same?

Oh and were you in your Z at the time? I can only recall two Z's(both black,) once at Vermont and once at Alvarado.

i'm at those places very often - i'm pretty sure it was me that you saw. I go to king taco, and i live on hoover and venice. I havent seen any black Z aside from mine and yours yet.

Front : 20X9.5
Rear : 20X12

Far as driving, no real difference between these and the OEM's. No stretching involved.

Yeah just got my cambers done @ Amplified yesterday and got my alignments done today. Had to go to a "real" alignment shop because Firestone didn't have a clamp big enough for my tires.
