i plan to lower with 350z Swift Sport springs, it lowers 1.3r/1.1r

i have a set GTS with 17/18 offset and tire sizes are 245/35/19 front, 285/35/19 rear. (had to roll rear fenders due to rubbing issues on stock suspension) When my tires wear out, i plan to get 275's in the rears with a camber kit.

From the looks of it..... when i lower the car, i seems like the rear fender will be sitting on the rear tires.

should i get new tires first before i install the springs?
or
can i just lower it and hope that i dont have any rubbing issues

any thoughts guys?

 

anyone?

 

im lowered on 350z swifts...im going to get the same rims with the same offset. the thing that gets me is why you had to roll your fenders at stock height. i say get the 275 first for better clearance.

 

i had to roll the fenders, everytime i hit a small bump, had a small bounce, or made a sharp turn, it shredded up the corners of the tires.

how do you like the springs so far? are you on oem shocks?

 

i have them with tokico d-specs shock for the 350z. i love my set up. its nice amd smooth. my friends say my car doesnt bounce like other lowered g do while driving.

 

thanks for the info, i think i'll get the d-spec's as well.

btw, what setting do you have the shocks on?

 

2.5 turns from full stiff.

 

any pics of your car?

 

 

nice drop!

oh, here is a pic of what happened to my rear tire, it was on both sides

just got my springs, i can't wait to install them

 

run a 275-35 Toyo T1R and you should not have any issues. I have RS*R Ti2000 for the 350Z which lowers rear 1.1 and running 19x10.5 +19 rear wheel with no rubbing whatsoever. also have SPC front and rear camber kits to save tires. cheers.

 

If your fenders are rolled, you should have no problems

 

dude, are your GTS's hella curbed up??? *ouch*

 

I see you are in MD. do you think Ye Olde Wheel Shoppe could fix something like this? at least make it look better. I have a little curb rash on one of my Ro_Ja's.
