I appreciate all the VITAL information delivered by the 1000's of post every day. Without them we would all be in the dark.

The term PW was used when I failed to see that the car had been lowered. I retract my previous PW comment.

IMO we are all in a sense PW because we all like to see our cars and comments on the internet and be praised for them by our fellow PW

Yep, I love how your car handled during the turns I made. But these are most likely to be on temporary until Tanabe's R&D team comes down to the U.S.

Got it from a online vendor back then. They are the nismo wheels, so any nismo shops should have them.

Thanks, I hope you don't mind but I am thinking of lowering mine and getting the same nismo wheels. But thank you for helping me make my decision.

I to am planning on doing the same combination, is there any problems at all? like rubbing or anything. Also do the tires/wheels stick out at all?

i think Vincent has nismo altima wheels, I am still undecided on picking the altima rims or the 350z rims (18" front wheels) for all 4 wheels. The spokes are a little thicker on the 350z wheels, but both look nearly identical.

Vincent if you are opposed to me having similar wheels then I will pick up the 350z wheels, cant say I have seen anyone put the 350z nismo wheels.

Hey guys,

I know I don't have the skill or tools to do this mod myself (Don't even try convincing me - lol). How much have you guys paid at shops to get it lowered or how much around should I be looking to pay?

windhaven,

while i like the drop... the 245/35/19's stilll look too little to me. I know you want the low profile look, but have you considered going to 40 profile series tires? I think that extra 1" fills up the wheel well perfectly

Like doc said, 40 profile tires would be PERFECT looking.+1.5% from stock instead of -2.1% from stock

Robert,

Sure have. Going to try and change over when I get through these tires. It may be a while, but I agree the 35's just seem a bit small. However, the gap is not nearly as challenging now as it was before.

Looking good mang...I also agree with Rob, that a 40series tire would complete the look.
