Re: Project Z
cheers! i think you're right. they're pretty far out on the rear. allowing for factory max camber and arch rolling i still think im going to have to go down to 12mm or more. i luckily have a spare pair of 12mm and no faffing with grinding bolts due to stud conversion. thought i would chuck on 15s for now as no immediate plans to lower car... i love the calibre gtrs due to the volk racing/varrstoen style but deeper dish esp on rear but i think the original dark grey loses the definition ... so i thought id go cream - as my tourer had cream leather ... still not sold ont he colour on this car but lets see...hiltonfa wrote:Cars looking good, like the calibre rims thinking of getting a set, you mention using 15mm spacers in the rear and 12mm in the front, assuming the standard offset of the rims are 35mm this would mean you are now at 20mm rear and 23mm front offset. I think once you lower the car you going have to adjust the rear spacer to avoid rubbing. Looking forward to your progress.

Re: Project Z
fair enough mate thanks for your honesty. my taste is definitely "marmite" ... i think it will look better "done"Maniac wrote:IMHO the e89 styling doesn't take to this kind of modification. Its not for me, I think it makes the car look like a toy and is something I'd expect to see on someone's Civic.
speaking of civics have you seen the new type r
my wifes old car was a bit more civicky

Re: Project Z
wow they actually looks really good in contrast to the white car and goes well with mirrors.... but yes i think white will look much better
love that rear dish too
have you spaced them? is yours lowered? rims with your ride height looks much better than my current 4x4 height lol

Re: Project Z
Thanks Theivz, cars lowered on h&r springs I'm running 10mm spacers on the front, going to try 10mm on the rear as I have a spare set just worried about rubbing, might have to modify the liner

Re: Project Z
do it! lol
can always roll arch or cut liner plus max camber on oem should help
cant wait to see how it all looks esp with white rims
