I've seen a few cars around that have a good amount of the tyre sitting outside the guards but whether or not they've been defected for it i wouldn't have a clue. I hope my rims don't look stupid without spacers or else i'm going to put 2 10mm ones at the back anyway.

So i'm going to go ahead and buy a set of S-techs for around $300 delivered which will give me a 1.20'' drop which i should be able to live with. Now my question is, with the +25mm all round offset is that going to be flush with 8.5 at the front and 10 at the back or will spacers be needed?

only you will know, when its all put together. plus it is impossible to know any answer when none of the parts are on the car yet. you cant guess the amount of lowering a spring will give you, and they take a month or 2 to settle aswell

also, dont forget that sub boxes or whatever will make the car even lower

Thought i'd post back here and let you guys know i've gone with Vertini Hennessey rims 20x8.5 + 25 F 20x10 + 25 R. Just put a deposit on them so i should have them next week some time :)

Also purchased a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs with a 1.1'' drop almost 7 days ago but the Ebay seller hasn't shipped them yet.. :angry:

Once i get my rims + tyres + springs i am also going to purchase an SPC rear camber kit to allign the back wheels and put it all on together, from there i will see how far i am from flush with guards but i have seen pics of similar setups being very close to flush so i may even end up throwing 10mm spacers on not sure yet.

I decided to lower the car and put up with the shocking roads, i am in the process of sorting out a work vehicle so my V35 will be kept in my garage and taken out at night/weekends to keep the KM's down :)

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
