19x8 in the front and a big 19x10 in the rear if you can believe it. Yeah, that fender looks stock but it is widened by over 2 inches. That's what's so unbelievable to me.

I picked up a copy of the mag at msa show..... nice magazine.

2nd on the widebody............ subtely sweet. Thats a look I'd go for, if I needed more rubber on the ground.

It's funny on the wheel gap thing that I noticed......... My car sitting by itself, or any Z, looks nice to me at stock height. But I went to a Z meet and parked by a bunch of lowered Z's and I was like holy $hit, my car looks like it's waiting for a flood............

LOL @ waiting for flood

yeah, agree....I will probably lower it since I plan on running 17s eventually for track rims/tires. So basically I'll have 2 sets of rims/tires....1 for fun...1 for just daily driving/looks.

Looks awesome man. Nice and subtle. I also like how you shaved the rock guard line around the bottom of the car. Im a subscriber to SZM so I can't wait to see it in there. Oh, and lower that bish

Roja Formula 5's......RJ Devera's rims. I like them...clean and smooth. I am probably going to powdercoat the center sections a darker gunmetal gray and keep the polished lip. I like the subtle look.

ya know....when i look at your z in your sig, it doesnt have that Z1 WBK look to it...in fact it doesnt even look like it is wider.
but then i look at your 19x10s and realize that it is wider

im too lazy to check your link for pics right now, but what all did you widen?

Pulled the fenders out and widedened the rear bumper to accomodate it. Also had to match the gas door for a clean smooth look. Ehhhhh.....looks good in my opinion. Might do something similiar on my newly acquired Z31.
