Lowered Z's

[240znz]

Has any one got some pics of what a 240 looks like after being lowered 1" and 2 " inches on 15" rims.

Also what size and profile 15" tyre can you safely run without rubbing and without having to mess the the speedo.

I don't have any pics but I'm curious too. What do you have to do to lower a Z by an inch or two?

[2ManyZs]

To lower a car by 1 to 2 inches all you have to do is buy a set of lowering springs although you will lose a little bit of your suspension travel and most springs are a bit stiffer than stock. There are progressive rate springs available that will not sacrifice as much of your ride comfort.

As to what size 15 inch wheel and tire you should be able to use a 15x7 (zero offset)with a 225/50 tire with little problem. Anything wider than that and you will need to be careful with the wheel offset to prevent rubbing. I'm just using that as an example, you can fit quite a bit wider tires with a lower profile but you must be very careful when choosing your wheels to get the proper offset.This just gives you a general idea.
