they look small cause 350z’s and g35’s have HUGE wheel wells. if i wanted to i could run 20’s and they’d still probably look small. next investment would be some tein springs and a camber kit but we’ll see, i’m happy the way it is for now. ---

No need for a camber kit, just dropped my Z last week and got an alignment today. I used Tanabe NF210’s that have a 1.2’’ drop frt and rear. alignment came out at factory specs with no needed camber arms. Cost me a grand total of $315.00 including the alignment. Rides as good as stock, maybe even better. ---

18s are the right size for the Z. Sometimes 19s can look alright, but I hate huge wheels. AKA-FERRARI, how long till the shocks are blown? ---

They wont blow with these, they are designed to work with factory shocks with no problems. I actually consulted a local performance shop near me [350zmotorsports.com](http://350zmotorsports.com). They assured me there will be no problems with the shocks. That was like the 1st question i asked them. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > AKA-FERRARI, how long till the shocks are blown? :lol: That old bit. I’ve had plenty of cars with 1-2" drop using springs on OE shocks, and never had them wear out early.

It’s just funny because I posted here a few months ago asking about putting springs on with OE shocks and I was told the shocks would blow out. It is actually good to hear they wont, I could use a 1-2" drop. 19 vs 18 inch on a 350z will always be an argument. Both sizes are very popular. ---

agreed. i could have gotten 19’s but i’m also not looking to spend like 2 grand on wheels haha. i got an excellent deal that i couldn’t pass up so i’m happy haha. good info about the springs too, i’ll be looking into that next i’m just taking one step at a time. car isn’t going anywhere so when i get to it, i’ll put up more pics.
