Always liked those XXRs, will def need to have your rear fenders rolled or possibly a slight pull too depending on the rear tires size you want (he is stretching tires front and rear in that pic)

haha ryan he won't need a pull with those wheels at all just gotta roll them flat and run like a 265/35 on the rear and he'll be good

**however i would like to add that the full 2 inch difference from f&r is kinda weak in my opinion...don't know why they decided with those specs

He will probably not want to stretch and want to run a full size tire that's why I said that like a 285/30 or 325/30 in the rear

That would rub wouldn't it? Or rolling still suffice

hahahahaha holly ****....i love the jump from 285/30 all the way to 325/30....huge difference but yeah even a 285/30 would rub

I just think its weird though...having a setup like that which isn't very aggressive and yet still needing a pull

I just put those as a reference bc I don't know how much tire he would want but im pretty sure he would not want to stretch tires and maintain optimal tire grip (function>form) he likes to drive

I almost went with. 315/30/20 for mine but thought it might rub so stuck with the 285/30

I would run a spacer up front to even it out with those wheels

Yeah i basically am maxing out the specs but making it so that i can still run OEM camber which means its still functional


but yes in regards to the spacer he will definately need one up front to make it look evened out

Yup exactly my way of thinking Form & Function not one or the other.... need to get a sticker made for wekfest that says that an start a trend

These days what was hella flush is now just barely flush.... idk where my set up will fall
out of sheer curiosity what would you call it Drew

Eibach springs
20x9.5/10.5 +13
255&285/30's
-1deg camber all around

^^classified as flush...mainly because of your choice of tire sizes as well...that will be just perfect as long as your rears are flattened since that is almost identical to what i have now with the 9.5/10.5 +12 with 245/35 and 275/35 (which is just perfect for flushness)

However i have had experiences when my wife was driving my car and i looked to see the flushness while driving and because of how low I am the +12 is not aggressive enough to look the way it did while standing

im not sure what size tires he has in the pic i looked up a 285/30/20 stretch pic and it was a tolerable level for me. i dont mind having to pull the fender some. as for the front if i get them it would be a "see how they look" before i did anything

I think with those xxr's, we could put them on to get a feeling where they would fall but i'm pretty sure you won't need a pull with them, just the good ole roll plus i think Josh is gonna do the 350z stechs and not the coilover route.

he could even go with a slight stretch of 245 and 275 then do a spacer to bring them out a tad bit more. It all depends on what Josh wants to do.
