Did a quick shoot with my friend's Z... few pics, couple teasers from the 45 minute shoot!

 

Nice, but they don't look like teasers to me..

 

 

nice, but not a big fan of blacked out headlights.

 

I'm surprised he didn't blackout the door handle.

 

^ I think door handle looks great they way it is..

 

 

Teaser!!!!

 

Wow that thing looks amazing! Nice shoot

 

Looks good, rims are a bit too big though...are they 20's?

 

Too blacked out IMO, and the unpainted CF skirts and lip are nasty.

 

I thought this would be another 'fial shoot.'

 

gt30's? never seen them in black. that car is hot.

 

yea those look like GT30s, are those 9.5/10.5 +23/24? If so what size tires is he running? Cause my boy is rockin' the same wheels in gold on his IP G35 on 255/285 and he needs spacers, those offsets are a tad too high. The car looks good, except I agree on CF remark; just doesn't work for me. It would look much better painted IMO. Also he definitely needs to color match the door handle, it looks 1000000x better. Lastly are those the updated bixenon lights or the older model? Shots are too far away to tell.

 

stealth looking.

 

fixed.

 

The fenders on the G35 are a tad bid higher, you can definitely run lower offsets on a G35. +23 front on a 9.5 is definitley too high on a 9.5" width wheel. I'll have to look up his offsets, but they are very aggressive. He actually had to apply about -2.5" neg camber in the FRONT. Or else, the tires were sticking outside of the wheel well. I'll get his exact offsets and post shortly..

 

Here are his stats:

1. Username: djnc
2. Vehicle and Year: 2005 350Z Base
3. Rim brand, and type: Volk GT30
4. rim size f/r : 20x9.5/20x10.5
5. rim offset f/r: +10/+23
6. tire size f/r: 245/35/20; 275/30/20
7. BBK? if so brand: N/A
8. spacers needed f/r: N/A
9. extended lugs? f/r: N/A
10. lowered? with what setup?: Tein Basic Coilovers and shaved bumpstops
11. front tire rubbing? inside/outside: No
12. tire rubbing rear?: No
13. fenders rolled f/r: Both
14. if you could re-order your current set-up, what would you change?: lower rear offset; 19” front wheels
15. Other: camber degrees f/r: -2.5 degrees/-0.8 degrees, according to the GRD alignment

 

+10/23? you sure that's correct? Also for some reason I though the Z could fit a BIT more in the rear but I could be wrong . Reason I ask is because my setup was around -2 to 2.5, with 19x9.5/10.5 (+17/18) on 265/295 and I probably had room for 5mm in the front and rear. Either way it looks pretty clean. I'll have to jump on my350z in a bit and scope his ride out. Nice shots btw!

Yes, that is correct. No way you can fit +18 with 295's in the rear of a Z (without any major adjusting of camber, fenders, etc). Most ppl that run +18/10'5" width wheels normally stretch their tires with 275s and then usually also need to run some neg camber/and also roll fenders.

 

Great looking car, upgrade the dipstick. That orange handle is killer.

 

Carbon fiber dipstick ftw

 

Pretty aggressive offsets. I'd probably stick with 19" on a Z but 20's do look great for show.

 

Damn that's hot.

 

Yeah, I agree.... he got a ridiculous deal on the wheels (as they were used), so went with them.

 

Phatness.... ill shoes!!

 

yea, atleast that mod would look good

 

I HATE Z OWNERS!!


400lbft+ and I can barely fit a 9" in the back......but man are 245/40's fun w/ that much torque
