you will need to roll your fenders... other than that you will be fine

[sunshine198905]

alright, but i just got the duraflex z3 fenders. lol. they just came in today. what now my good buddy? lol

[nlsolja123]

mine fit without rollin the fenders, i had z3's. depends on if u get 7.5X18 or 8x18

8" wide wheels? that seems awful wide for the zx2.

it really depends on your suspension setup and the offset of the wheels though. i had the s/r setup and 7.5" wheels with a 42mm offset and i had to roll the rear fenders and put a 3mm spacer on just the one side for some reason so idk.. just make sure you know what doin

[sunshine198905]

probably being the 7.5. i think the 8 would be way too wide for the z.

my suspension is stock right at the moment, but here in the near future im goin to be gettin the ground control coil overs that come with the eibach springs, and im goin to slam them onto some tokico struts.

this is what i was lookin at:

ive got a 1.5" drop and im on my 2nd set of 18's. no rub issues.

[mellowness65]

I have dropzones and sr struts, so I'm around 2" lower. When my 17's were on I had 215/45 tires and the back seat was pretty much out of the question due to rubbing

[sunshine198905]

alright that works for me. its not a right now thing anyways. i will probaby get them while im out in ohio. i just wanted to know for the future.

thank ya boys!

oh yeah dude, i forgot about that. i had a very slight rubbing problem when i had three people in the back seat at the same time. i never have that many people in my car though anymore.

what would be the problem once i get coilovers, other than some rubbin?

I would just imagine you'd probably have to roll the fenders, for sure the rears.

You make your own tires?

Please post a how-to.

[sunshine198905]

Thanks fire. Haha. I thought that's all there would be. My buddy was a body man, so shouldn't have much problems.

And thank the rest of ya for your input to the thread, helped me out anyways.
