HRE P40S and KW coilovers

Hi all

Just wanted to post some pics for those looking at this wheel or something similar. I couldn't find much on the Z or the G when I was shopping so hope this helps some.

Also, I originally was looking at 9" front 10.5" rear, but HRE recommended 11" rear (final measurements below). These do fit flush and with the KW (V1) suspension don't come close to rubbing even under aggressive corners etc. I could not be happier, especially with the KW suspension. It is a COMPLETELY different car, it feels easily 20% lighter for steering and cornering and response feels like +20-30 hp/tq. I didn't expect anywhere near this, and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Front: 20x9 wheel, don't know the offset but it is easily ~40. 245/35R20 rubber
Rear: 20x11 wheel, ? offset. 285/30R20 rubber.

Let me know if anyone has any Qs.

very nice wheels but I can't stand wheels with no lip, I think they belong to euro cars, but that's IMO. Still very nice wheels, must have cost a fortune... Love how it sits flush with 11 rear too.

Question... I'm gonna go with the KW V3 once I get my wheels on... the '11 sport I have is already a little bit stiff, will the KW's make me bounce out of my seat, like a riced out civic, when I hit a small dip?
