I work 12-9 every day, 6 days a week. My only day off is usually catching up on sleep to give me energy for the next 6 days.

Noice! Showing with RavSpec, that should be cool.

Ha, you have a point. Everything did show up at once this summer. Big big changes since school ended in may.

I'm gonna cut this OT off in here. It's prolly better in the IP thread - a little more OT than this.

Close to buying a set of Vertini Hennessey in 20x10 +25mm all round, i have just ordered Tein S-Techs (1.5'' drop) tyres i'm going for should be 245/35/20 F 275/35/20 R.

Any feedback on how this will look/sit would be appreciated, do have access to a guard roller too so that's no problem. Thanks!

On my sedan running coupe 18s with 245/45's in the rear. Dropping with full revised Z suspension, now I know the front will have no problem at all on clearance, but I'm wondering about the rear. I do plan to roll fenders flat, but would the large size in the rear still rub on the fender? Currently at ~3 finger gaps right side ~2 left side (is that even normal to have differentiating gaps on left/right? car was empty), and my right side rubbed a little on the inner unrolled fender already on stock height. Thanks

Yea that'll work, I'd recommend a 275/30 in the back though.

Yea that's normal to be a little uneven, it's unusual but no explanation lol

You'll be fine with a roll, but definitely get it rolled before you drop it more.

It's not for sure that you ever will, but it's better to be safe than sorry. You don't want to have to load 3 adults into the back seat then pull over 30 yards down the street and say...." sorry, you gotta find a different way" lol

hey,

i really like this thread. anyway here goes my question.. I just want to know what size spacers i need to get my wheels flushed. Im drop on 350z s tech. stock shocks/struts for now.. I'll be rolling my rear fender next week. I have axis penta 20x9 +25 245/35 in the front and 20x10 +25 275/35 for the rear. I just ordered my megan camber for the front and rear. Really would like to not rub.

Thanks
