why would your wheels diameter have anything to do with what springs you want to put on?

for what its worth, i am on 350z s-techs front and rear and i sit on 20x9, 20x10 super rozzas

again though, not sure why you are bringing up the size of your wheel diameter as a factor here? are your offsets super aggressive and you are worried about the barrel scraping on the fender instead of the tire? the 350z s-techs are not that low at all...!

my offsets r nothin too serious (+15 front, +20 rear). what are your tire specs?? (i'm on 255/35's & 275/30's)... and also, did u install a front/rear camber kit?

i was actually more concerned with it being a huge PITA with scraping the skirts/front everywhere i go... i know its pretty much unavoidable but still.... i guess i just need to stop being such a huge twatt... lol

anyone got pix with 20's on s techs?

350z stechs 20s 10.5 in rear with 275/30/20 i also cut 3/4inch of the spring mount to make it lower. Just this weekend i cut a coil off the rear spring to tuck tire. You will be fine but if you want to sell them i got money right now.

I have some 350Z S-Tech's sitting on my floor waiting to be put on. I would eventually like to get 19's or 20's and I always thought that would be "ideal" not "crazy" hahah

Oh, i forgot to mention, I also have Kuruma Z front on my G and i've got impul sides now.

its all groovy with the s-techs, dont worry you'll learn where to go and where to avoid, and after the first time you scrape youll learn to drive slow and 45 degree angle over humps and you'll never scrape again!

It really looks great, and like people said its not the biggest of drops for our car, and doesnt even come close to some of the people that are slammed, so you'll b fine!



Oh, but one thing... I can no longer fit my floor jack under my car with the impul sides lol!!! i have to drive it up on boards first its kind of a pain in the ***.... but worth it!
