Low offset and a wide wheel, would it rub any u think? Also what size tyres would you reccomend on wheels that size? Also has anyone thought of using 18" front wheels and 19" rear wheels. I know those type G Rays came like that on those cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriank Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm going to see how the stock rays look, with the car lowered and with the spacers fitted before i make a final decision tho. If i like the stace and fit of them when done, i might just get a special refurb done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 the question of will it/won't it rub will not be the same for everyone here is why 1. the Z comes from the factory with a range of alignements. Not all cars have the same camber/toe specs. Where the car starts off spec wise, determines where it ends up once it's lowered. The rubbing issue is in the rear, not the front by the way 2. Not all tires of a given size have the same physical dimensions. A 275/40 T1R is not the same as a 275/40 Potenza RE050 or S03. The differences can be substantial. Example. In the Work thread I posted. My car was at that exact height, with those exact wheels. With Toyo's (at the time T1S), I never once rubbed. Toyo's wore out finally so installed the S03's - the car rubbed over every single bump, no matter how small. The S03 were the same size as the Toyo, but the S03 were substantially bigger. No amount of camber I tried prevented the rubbing. So, I rolled the fenders and never had to think about it again The only way to guarantee no rubbing is to either fit a wheel so conversative that there is no chance of it ever rubbing (ie a 9.5 with a +30 offset for example with a reasonbly sized tire) no matter what the height/alignment. Or, to simply fit the wheel, hope for the best, and if it rubs. have the fenders rolled. Thankfully rolling the fenders is neither difficult nor particularly costsly, so it's quite easy to solve the potential issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
