Lowering with 18" I am planning on lowering my Z but i am afraid that with the 18s it will tear up the wheel wells. I want to drop it about 1.5". Has anyone done this?

Re: Lowering with 18" My car has been lowered an inch and half and I have 18 inch wheels. I have no rubbing problems at all. I also run 295/35/18's at all 4 corners.
It not so much the size of the wheels but the size of the tires that matters most.
