Does this height look normal at the rear, and got new wheels

From what the service records show I believe my svx was stock when I got it. Is this height normal at the rear? I got new wheels which made me think, this really is pretty low, I wonder...




Also, the wheels are ADR29 in 16x7. Ran about 600 at a local shop. Could have been a bit cheaper online, but I like supporting my local guy. The offset is +40, I believe "300zx" wheels. Here are some photos of the clearance and tires (225/50r16) on 7 in stead of 7.5 inch wheels. I don't have a before unfortunately. I picked them up on a opps, I tore a piece out of my old wheel, how is tire still holding air, what have you got today replacement. I like them thankfully, but I'm looking forward to tax refunds for new, bigger summer metal.

Re: Does this height look normal at the rear, and got new wheels

Yeah that's the correct height. The rears are really flushed like that. Though are you sure you have the right tire size they don't seem to fill the wheel wells enough. Maybe I've just gotten used to my slightly oversized 18's Not bad looking though. Maybe when you change the tires you'll go a little larger ont he sidewall to fill the space a little and (while offsetting your readings) get a little more milage out of the circumferance.

Yeah that looks normal. The rear tires should be a little bit in the well like that. 225 is the same tire size as stock so you are good.
