What you guys think about the way car is sitting with new wheels? 45 profile on rear, 40 on front. I've got a set of Kyb shocks and Eiback lowering springs to fit yet. The rear seams to be sitting up to much.. u2u8umyd.jpg

The Eibach springs should lower it by about 40mm so should sit quite nicely then, does look a little high.

those wheels look sweet!

 

as said above lower it first then maybe play with offsets if your really that bothered.

is that house in the back ground looks like a cracking place to live

What diameter are they?

 

Look like 17s don't they.

 

 

Tbh, you can mess about with lowering springs all you wish but if you after that perfect stance you need proper height adjustable coilovers combined with suitable adjustable arms.

I have Eibach Pro-Kit Springs which have 0.8 inch drop when used with KYB AGX shocks. They are marked 6320.001 for

the fronts and 6320.002 for the rears.

 

You can see the stance on 18" wheels in the garage photos:

She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible.

Does he really want to lower that nose by 40mm? Won't leave a lot of room for speed humps and the like.

I'm having to raise mine back to stock sadly otherwise getting on the drive is difficult and getting into the garage ain't happening! Not with out messing around with planks of wood anyway.

 

Nice wheels BTW!

Thanks for the advice lads, just wanted to run it by ye to see what you think, il try the new shocks and springs, see how it looks and take it from there. @ hellraiser there 18's 9.5 +28 offset all round. 255 45 tires rear- very slight rubbing. 235 40 on front- bit of tire stretch, no rubbing. @dan300zx thanks dan, group of 7 log cabin holiday homes over looking a lake,live there last 4 years, unfortunately only renting tho! Great place to live. @andrewg yours looks spot on with that set up, lovely car. @lonezedder speed humps not a problem for me, thing you have to watch out for are speed hollows (pot holes)!!

255 45 18 rear!! your speedo will be out with those specs the usual tyre choice is 265 35 18 ! the tire height doesnt look right to me. fronts are a bit low on the wall height too.

@hellraiser didn't know that about tire size,I should have researched it a bit more.. @dan300zx rent is €400 euro a month, they were built about 10 years ago and sold for around €300k each, ud buy one now for €120k, sign of the times...

I would love one really would
