I got some spacers for the rear. I tried them on and took some pics. I then took out for a drive. It rubbed, but its weird it seem like the passenger side only rubbed. Well here are the pics. I am getting my fenders rolled this weekend. Hope that will help out. What do you guys think.

Here is without.


Here is with.

 

looks good... glad youre able to use them

 

Well I took them off until this weekend. That rubbing would bug the hell out of me.

 

are your fenders rolled?

 

Not yet, this weekend they will be. I am thinking of dialing in alittle more chamber.

 

Maybe its the angle of the pics, but your before and after shots look really similar. Either way it looks good though.

Oh and I like how the dirt on your car makes the black trim on the bottom
almost seem colormatched.

 

Do you live some place with snow?

 

I live in Washington state. It rains here alot and I havent had time to wash it.

 

Ernie, you own a sports sedan, not a lowrider. Keep the spacers off. It look better on the before pics. Plus when you push the tires out that much, you get all kinds of crap kicked up on the paint.

 

Don't listen to Jeff, he's a senile old man
Looks good to me, with a roll it will be good to go. Better pictures will also sway alot of people's decisions.
I guess my car is a lowrider also

 

looks great, nice and flush now!
-GP-

 

Are you saying all the Z and coupe that have their wheels flushed with their fenders are lowriders. This was a test on how aggressive I could get wheels on the sedan. Plus when I put the stocks back on they would not be so tucked in. Yeah I agree I could take some better pics, but I was tired.

As for kicking up stuff. I am looking at getting the nismo kit, or maybe some splash guards.

 

IMHO those stuck out just a tad. Thus the lowrider remark. IMHO a fine line inbetween flush and sticking out.

Again IMHO having to run more camber than you need for the sole purpose of being able to run xx wide wheel/tires or xx spacer isn't worth the neg tire wear or possible handling compromises.

I ran just over 2.5 deg neg camber back on my 510 long ago. You could tell only about 1/2-3/4 of the tire was really making good contact on the road. In the wet it was scary. This were on tiny 185s though. But still. Once I got it back into about 1.5 neg camber it was a night/day diff.

Most likely, you guys won't even notice the diff I guess.

 

Jeff, his wheels are only 3mm out further than yours(OEM 19's). Not sure how his is lowriderish and yours isn't

 

The first after picture is good. The other ones don't do it justice, which is why Jeff thinks it looks bad. Get it cleaned up and take some pics at better angles and I think all will agree. It looks aggressive and appears to be the right decision
