You'd be fine using the Eibach pro kit. Won't lower it too far to rub plus it still rides nice. I have 20" 275 rear 245 front took no modification other than spring install and I've had no issues. Most I've had is 3 people and luggage in car at 80 mph on bumpy highways and had no issues rubbing bottoming out etc. It looks perfect at that height in my opinion too. Not too low but gets rid of the unsightly wheel well gap.

Generally lowering springs like eibach won't cause rubbing issues unless the wheels don't have the correct offset or you have a bad strut.

Those look good, makes me want to get a set of 370Z wheels now.

When turning the wheel to full lock, does the 370Z wheel and tire combo rub at all?

Its done

Well I finally got the nerve to lower it. I used the eibach pro kit. It didnt lower it a lot as far as looks go but I recomend lowering this car. It handles ten times better. I hated it before even with the stock wheels. It turns like a dream. No rubbing and it breaks ten times better. I am goig to get the bars next and then do some engine mods here and there. Its still a family car and I didnt want to go super low. I am thinking about buying an older 300Z for fun. Best thing i ever did to that car was lowering it.

Love the look! Nice job on lowering. Looks much better. I had wanted a set of those 370z rims but 1) they were pricey and 2) most/all sets were staggered and I didnt want to pay that much just to get all the same size rim. Still have hope for the future tho!
