I'm on 350z springs with 25mm spacers up front, 30mm in the rear. For daily driving, its low enough for me.





The 2 pics below was right after we lowered the car, the front strut hadn't settled back down all the way yet. just shows spacer.

What size rear tires are those? With the 30mm's, they are a bit too far out for my liking.

Doesn't having spaced wheels make it much easier to spray your own car with road debris? Not knocking on you, just honestly curious.

I like those. I was thinking about painting mine black, with a little less shine than yours. but i couldn't decide if it would look good with DG. What do you think? My gunmetal, or black would look better?

the bad thing about not going gloss is that MATTE always looks dirty man....gunmetal is unique but gloss black pops alot better on DG.

What brand spacers do you have and do they cause any vibrations while driving?
I heard certain spacers will make your wheels/car vibrate.
