Just make sure you check them every 6 months to a year (as you should normally).

BTW, they look good.
Ya Ive taped them off on past vehicles and left them untaped on others... never had a problem.

urs look really good too i probably would of done same thing wouldnt want to much silver...clean job did same steps

You also have the wrong tire size on there exaggerating the look

i understand that instead of a 35 i got a 30 .. if you got all 4 tires for what i paid for mine im sure you would jump on the deal just as fast as i did .. i really dont care its a 30 in the rear cause once i slammmmm the car it will not make a difference .. i no the ride will be different but still .. but when i do get another set of rear tires i AM GOING TO GET 265/35/19 .. but in the mean time i think a 30 will do just fine

Prior to getting coils I had to drop from 45 to 40 when i was on stechs i think. I got a great deal on the tires also, but I hated the height difference with a passion. It makes a giant difference. Your car is a great example it looks like you could fit a body between the tire and fender.

really ??? so when i put my 350z s-techs on my car i still will have a gap in the rear ... so even if i put a 35 in rear it will also have a gap or no .. what im trying to ask is when i do lower my car like 2'' what would be the best tire sizes i should run ...

The wheels your running are 19 right? i cant read what it says on the tire 235/30/19? 2 inch drop will help significantly. I had 18's so I had another inch to deal with. I don't think its going to be flush, but should look better not sure measure it out!

yea my rear is 265/30/19+35 in the back and the front are 245/35/19+32 .. but with a 2'' drop and fenders rolled should be perfect and a flush look .. dont you think .. the only thing i have a thought about is when i lower it someone said i wouldnt need to roll fenders in the back with a 30 there but my offset is 35 which brings my wheels right at the rear fender

I'm not really great with offsets etc, but i have a feeling you might.. it will be a close call. I would say yes to be on the safe side they will need a light roll at least. I'm sure someone else can come in and help

yes cause i hear ppl say yes to roll and hear some saying no to a roll ... my with a 35offset in the rear i would think you would have to roll them cause look at other ppl putting coupe 19s on there car with a c/z drop and they say you need to roll the fenders and stuff ... so im going to roll them this week at a local shop for $100 bucks to be safe and once i finished the roll and drop the car i think all the gaps will be gone and i will have a nice flush setup ...
