I don't see where you posted the specs of the wheels. Size, width, offset and tire size.

From what I can see you would do well to drop your G a bit.
245/35/19 +35 offset. It looks like it could hit even if I were to roll the fenders. I just want to here it will be fine from someone and then its dropped.

That set-up should not rub. Remember, when you drop your car you will get a little negative camber which will help avoid rubbing.

The 245/40/19 tires were the closest to stock tire height in my case, so I have very little speedo error.

It looks good now without the drop IMO. What kind of wheels are they?

They are TSW Exclusive wheels. Discontinued now and got a sweet deal because they were.

I went to the 350z forum to get springs and will be getting low mileage springs (under 5K). Hope this works out!

Thanks for the help!

Not sure if it's the photo or not, but it looks like your air pressure is low...just a suggestion you may want to check it....

Are those tires the Generals? Tread on side is like no other that I've seen on a high perf. tire....

Can't beat the price of the generals! $500 vs $1200 was a no brainer especially with the reviews on the generals.
They actually ride really nice, a bit loud but so far so good.
