It really is fascinating how much better they look when lowered and spaced a little bit.

I tend to agree and feel this is how the car should have sat new. I've actually had folks comment and ask if they are custom wheels.

Nonetheless, lowered on 18s sits really low and I am always watching out for those 6 inch high parking stops and curbs that tend to be everywhere in CA. I think 19" wheels would provide slightly better clearance.

I love these wheels chromed, but realize that I am in the minority with this view:



Question. Any idea the weight of the Sport Duckfeet?

Well with 19s, you get a smaller sidewall, your overall wheel+tire diameter doesn't change. It will optically look even lower because the gap from mag to fender and ground looks smaller, but ride height will be the same.

370z wheels
18x9+15
245/45/18
No spacers
Unsure of bbk
Car has 350z springs, approx 1” drop, no rubbing in the front but the tire touches the wheel liner in the rear, liner is easily trimmed.

That looks really good. Sort of an OEM+ vibe.

Looks great, but it appears to be lowered more than an inch? Have you done an alignment with the Z springs?

Wanted to share some of my recent wheel fitments

Here is a square wheel setup of 18x9.5 +30 with staggered 255/40 and 285/35 tires.

The tires were left over from my RPF1 setup.

If would have gotten new tires, I would have chosen 275/35 square. This would fill up the fronts a tad bit.

Wheels weigh 18lbs, just as light as the RPF1.

I didn't take a lot of photos for these Volk Se37 but here's a few

18x9.5 +12 square
235/40 fronts and 255/35 rears staggered tires
These were off my 180sx, that's why the tires are a smaller diameter

18x9.5 +38 square (enkei t6r misty blue)
265/40 square (continental extremecontact 02)
lowered on hks hipermax s

like an idiot I forgot to take off the plastic protector on the center caps

I think 15mm spacers front and back and an extra half inch lower in the front would do this setup a lot of good but I think the front bumper would be getting into trouble quite a bit

Enkei 18x9.5 38mm offset

Does anyone know if Enkei 18x9.5 38mm offset T6R will fit over stock big sport brakes on a 2013xs coupe? i am looking to order them for black friday but am not finding clear answers as to whether they will fit or not. TireRack says they wont but fitment industries says they will. Anyone know of anyone running these without a spacer?
