If you do a search, there are a number of threads with good pics.

You can see where you have to clearance depending on what negative camber you end up with.

This is exactly what I wanted to do on mine and didn't want to go with knock-offs. They look great on your car and great job on the ceramic coating.
I'm surprised the fronts poke a little with no spacer. I guess there is a couple degrees of offset difference.

Great thread!!! (I fixed the pics)

Thanks for the edit. But wait, I’m running a spacer. Do you mean they poke without a spacer because they appear to poke more than 5mm?

Agreed. I think they look even better with 18's!

I barely drove around the block so any difference wouldn’t be obvious at low speeds like that. I think there is a difference in overall tire height....although small, so the speedo would be slightly off at higher speeds (because it’s a percentage difference, not flat speed difference).

Nevermind... I thought the spacer was only in the rear. I forgot these wheels were 1" wider in the front too.

I have a second set on order and will put some DRs on the rear for the streets. MT makes a 325/30-19 that should work great.

I did 19’s on my Z. I would of went with 18’s but won’t fit with the carbon rotors. I don’t think these cars look right with 20’s. If I end up buying a ZL1 I will have a drag pack waiting for it.

I’m ONLY running a spacer in the front. None in rear.

Many (many) people. Easy to do with an angle or die grinder.

That was I was thinking, no need for spacer, just cut!
Any software adjustment for Dic speed between 19 and 20?
Any difference between std Zl1 and 1LE?
If not which one is right?
19 right with 20 slightly above
20 right with 19 slightly below
...
