280zx Ride height

I was just installing a set of SSR Mesh wheels I just bought and I noticed that the ride height is ridiculous. I just bought the car, so is this normal?

The tires are 15" with a tire wall of 50.

Unless your 15" 50 series tires are 255 wide your tires are too small.

Cut springs, performance "lowering" springs, or coil overs...

BTW... did you move the car after installing that new tire / wheel? Obviously the car will sit higher right after you drop it from being in the air. You need to drive it a few feet for the struts to settle back to normal ride height.
